Katharine came to do a TTouch session with my little Yorkie, Simba, who is tiny, very touch sensitive and is slowly recovering from a spinal injury which had made him super-reactive with other dogs on his rehab walks.<br>Katharine gave him lots of time, and it was marvellous to see how Simba became relaxed and allowed her to gently touch him all over. It was interesting to watch Katharine doing TTouches around Simba’s face and jaw, as he normally doesn’t like to be touched there. And from that experience, I have now been able to do those TTouches as well.<br>She also showed me how to use TTouch body wraps to help him feel secure in his body. Having watched her at work, I’m now able to do the T Touches and wraps, which I feel are aiding his recovery.<br>The session wasn’t just about TTouches for Simba, though, as Katharine provided some great suggestions on how to prevent Simba from jumping off the furniture while he recovers from his injury. She also showed me a method to help calm him if he starts to lunge and bark at other dogs on our walks. This is most helpful as it helps me to stay calm and is gradually reducing the reactivity.<br>I am grateful to Katharine for her support. I found it so useful to watch Katharine doing the TTouch, and now feel I am able to do more myself, especially as I have now joined her 6-week online course.

I love to watch dogs and their owners progressing in their relationship, developing a bond, building their confidence and learning using positive, science based methods.
I offer one to one and group training in a secure training field.
I regularly update my knowledge and experience by attending seminars and workshops.
I am fully insured and DBS cleared. All training adheres to the APDT code of practice.
I highly recommend Sue Watkins to any dog owner, especially if a novice to the gundog world. I was feeling totally at lost with my puppy (my first dog ever), a Cocker Spaniel, when I came across Connected Canines. I started 1-2-1 sessions with Sue straight away. These sessions immediately helped me to not only understand better my puppy’s breed but to also understand his needs. Sue is an excellent and experienced trainer, very knowledgeable and very kind, and tailors the sessions to your and your dog’s individual needs. The sessions are varied, positive and fun, and always followed by email with notes and a great summary of everything covered during the session (lots to remember!), plus excellent youtube videos containing relevant, clear and straight forward information. Having 1-2-1 sessions with Sue has been, and continues being, invaluable to us both.
