New Leash on Life: A course for rescue dogs and their people

Welcoming a rescue dog into your life is a beautiful act of compassion- but it can also be overwhelming. Whether your dog is settling in after a difficult past, struggling with the basics, or just learning how to feel safe again, New Leash on Life is here to help.

This five-week, outdoor group course is designed specifically for rescue dogs and their guardians. Blending kind, force-free training with a deep understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, the course offers a gentle, structured path toward trust, connection, and confidence-for both ends of the lead.

What’s Included:

🐾 Five small-group outdoor sessions in a supportive, calm environment
🎓 Access to short, engaging theory videos covering topics like canine body language, social grief, safety and predictability, and meeting emotional needs
🦴 Practical training for real-life skills like recall and loose lead walking
🌿 Empowerment through play and scent games to build joy and connection
💬 Guidance and support from an experienced, dog-centred trainer

This isn’t about fixing your dog. It’s about understanding them, helping them feel safe, and building a relationship that feels good- for you both.

Whether your dog is brand new to your home or has been with you a while but is still finding their feet, New Leash on Life meets you where you are.

💛 Who It’s For:
  • Rescue dogs of any age

  • Guardians who want to build trust and confidence

  • Anyone looking for a kinder, more connected approach to training
