👉 Click your stage below to jump straight to your section:
I’m at Stage 1 – Awareness & Reset
I’m at Stage 2 – Calm Foundations
You’re not behind. You’re simply in a particular season with your dog. Start where you’re at, not where you think you “should” be.
Stage 1: Awareness & Reset
You might be here if:
Walks or daily life with your dog often feel stressful or draining
You’re noticing your dog is on high alert a lot of the time
You feel guilty, overwhelmed, or unsure where to even start
Right now, both you and your dog need breathing space and nervous system support. This stage is all about emotional safety, small calming shifts, and feeling less alone with it all.
Your focus at this stage
Giving your nervous system and your dog’s nervous system a chance to reset
Understanding your dog’s behaviour as communication, not “naughtiness”
Taking the pressure off and making room for tiny pockets of calm
Best next steps for Stage 1

🪷 Free Downloads - Strategies for Overwhelmed Dog Parents Download - use whenever you need it

Stage 2: Calm Foundations
You might be here if:
You understand your dog a bit better now, but things are still up and down
You’re ready for kind, practical training that fits real life
You want structure and guidance, but not something huge or intense
This stage is about building the everyday skills and routines that make life calmer and more predictable for both of you.
Your focus at this stage
Choosing one main area to work on (puppy basics, teenage chaos, calm at home, recall)
Using short, regular training sessions instead of long, exhausting ones
Weaving calm into everyday routines so it starts to feel more natural

You might be here if:
You’ve already worked on some foundations or done training before
You know your stress affects your dog and want a proper framework to work with
You’re ready for deeper support that looks at both emotions and behaviour
Here, you’re moving into a joined-up way of parenting your dog – one that supports both ends of the lead.
Your focus at this stage
Deepening your calm dog parenting skills and confidence
Understanding the “why” behind your dog’s behaviour
Building a calm toolkit you can rely on in real-life situations
Best next step for Stage 3
💜 The Confident Dog Parent Blueprint
My full nervous-system-aware framework for dog parents who want calm, connection and confidence in everyday life.
Inside, you learn how to:
Regulate your nervous system in the moments that matter
Support your dog through big feelings with more clarity and calm
Create rituals, routines and tools that actually fit your life
Need more personalised support?
Sometimes even with the best foundations, you need a little extra help, especially if your dog’s behaviour feels complex, or you want a tailored plan that fits your life exactly.
That’s where my Private Client Program comes in.
It’s a 7-session, one-to-one coaching and behaviour support experience that combines evidence-based training with emotional wellbeing support for both ends of the lead.
Inside the program, we’ll:
Create a personalised plan around your dog’s specific behaviour and environment
Work through the nervous-system patterns that drive stress and reactivity
Build calm, confidence, and consistency that lasts far beyond the sessions
This is for dog parents who are ready for depth, not quick fixes, and who want expert guidance every step of the way.
If you you’d love to continue your momentum as part of a supportive community of like-minded dog parents (and me!), you’ll naturally move into Stage 4.
Stage 4: The Connected Dog Parent
You might be here if:
You’ve completed The Confident Dog Parent Blueprint or worked with me 1:1
Calm connection already feels natural most days, but you’d like gentle support to keep it going
You want to stay connected to like-minded dog parents who “get it”
This stage isn’t about learning more, it’s about living it.
Here, calm connection becomes part of who you are, not just what you practise.
💜 Purpose of this stage
To help you integrate everything you’ve learned so that calm connection becomes a natural, lifelong way of living with your dog.
For you → maintain emotional balance, confidence & consistency
For your dog → reinforce calm habits & emotional stability over time
“Calm connection isn’t a finish line, it’s a lifelong path.”
🌿 Your focus at this stage
Consistency over intensity – small, steady routines that keep calm alive
Confidence through community – knowing you’re not doing this alone
Continued growth with ease – fresh insights without overwhelm

Hey! I’m Sian…
And I know how heavy dog parenting can feel.
I’m a certified, ethical dog trainer and trauma-informed coach who specialises in helping overwhelmed dog parents build calm, connected lives with their dogs - without shame, pressure, or quick-fix obedience tactics.
Through years of personal healing, professional training, and hands-on experience, I’ve developed a gentle, holistic approach that centres you just as much as your dog.
Because I believe calm isn’t something we force. It’s something we create together.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing your dog, like you’re the only one who’s struggling, or like you’re carrying too much on your shoulders - I see you.
This work is for you. And I’m so glad you’re here.
