Based in Somerset, Canine Support is led by Katharine, a dedicated Canine Wellness Trainer with a deep love for animals and a commitment to helping dogs live happier, more balanced lives. Her unique approach combines qualifications as a Trauma-Informed Dog Practitioner with the gentle, effective methods of Tellington TTouch®, offering support that goes beyond behaviour to focus on the whole dog—their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Katharine’s work is especially valuable for dogs who are anxious, nervous, or lacking in confidence, as well as those who struggle with distractions, lead pulling, or stress during vet visits, grooming, and husbandry care. By focusing on trust and communication, she helps owners build stronger, more fulfilling relationships with their canine companions.

At the heart of Canine Support’s philosophy is Tellington TTouch®, a respectful and mindful method that increases body awareness, improves balance, and helps dogs feel more secure in their environment. This not only supports their physical comfort but also nurtures confidence and self-control, leading to calmer, more cooperative behaviour.

Canine Support offers a variety of services and courses to suit every dog and guardian, including:

  • Tellington TTouch® Sessions – gentle bodywork and mindful ground exercises to ease tension, reduce anxiety, and improve balance.
  • In-Person Training Sessions – tailored, hands-on guidance to address challenges and strengthen trust.
  • Courses such as:
    • Walking in Balance – helping dogs walk calmly and confidently on the lead.
    • Introduction to Tellington TTouch® – learn how this gentle approach supports your dog’s well-being.
    • Happy Muzzle Dogs – teaching guardians how to introduce and use a muzzle positively.
    • Fear of Fireworks – practical strategies to reduce stress and build resilience during firework season.
    • Help! My Dog is Reactive – support for dogs who struggle with reactivity, helping them feel safer and calmer in their environment.

Through this holistic blend of training, therapy, and guidance, Katharine helps dogs shift from reactivity to resilience—creating positive changes that last. For guardians, the process strengthens understanding and connection, making life together more joyful and harmonious.

With years of hands-on experience and a heartfelt passion for animal welfare, Canine Support offers a compassionate path for anyone looking to improve their dog’s well-being, confidence, and quality of life.
