Dog group work

Dog Group Work Sessions

These sessions are for people who have already begun their journey with me, or who are familiar with Jan Fennell’s gentle, respectful approach. Before joining a group, it’s important that your dog has already started to feel safe and reassured at home — this foundation makes all the difference when they meet other dogs.

Some dogs enjoy group situations straight away. Others find them overwhelming, and the impact can show immediately or later on. Recognising the early signs of stress, and knowing how to respond calmly and confidently, helps your dog trust you and feel supported in a new environment.

The aim of these sessions is to bring small groups of people and dogs together for socialisation, learning and gentle progression. Some groups are designed specifically for dogs who feel anxious or reactive around other dogs. If this feels like the right next step for you and your dog, I’d be happy to talk through the options.

Sessions currently take place in hired dog fields in Norfolk and Suffolk.
