Working with Katharine has helped us understand our dogs behavior so much! We’ve improved our dog walking methods for more cooperation and helped him withstand fireworks and stressful situations with more confidence.<br>Katharine is patient hearing all the details and concise with her training education — highly recommend working with her for all dog owners!

I loved doing the Ttouch course online with Katharine - the Zoom sessions were excellent, very informative and interactive and fun! I appreciated Katharine's sense of humour and her ability to put everyone at ease in the sessions, and ensure that everyone had chance to participate and get what they needed from the course. The app is really easy to use and very helpful in viewing the resources in bite-size pieces using my phone. I can't recommend the Ttouch course enough - so simple yet so effective.<br>The ongoing support for me, Max and DJ has been far more than I expected and I'm so grateful for all the help and advice. My old boy Max and scared little DJ have been helped so much, which has helped me to feel more in control.

Really well planned out course with training broken into very small steps to make sure the dog does not become resistant or fearful any any stage. So useful to have taught this because you never know when it will be needed

I enrolled onto Catherine's Fear of Fireworks Course to help my Staffordshire Bull Terrier Hugo through fireworks season and beyond because he suffers from severe anxiety with fireworks, agricultural bird scarers, gun shots and loud explosive sounds in general. The course focuses on activities and techniques to calm and reassure your dog and Hugo responded particularly well to the TTouch techniques and zoopharmacognosy that came up as part of the discussions in the group. Catherine's course not only helped reduce Hugo's anxiety but it made me much more mindful as to how I touch him not only when he's anxious but also in general, which has definitely strengthened our bond. The course had not 'fixed' Hugo (I wasn't expecting it to as his responses are extreme) but it has given us a structure to better manage his response to the triggers. An added bonus is that the learning materials remain available to revisit whenever is necessary. I would highly Catherine as her passion is second to none and the community she fosters is hugely positive and motivating. Thank you Catherine, from Michelle & Hugo

Great workshop on loose lead walking. Very informative with loads of opportunity to practice skills in person. Small group meant there was time for one to one attention. I would highly recommend this course.

Katharines Walking in Balance workshop is for anyone who has a dog that pulls hard on the lead and every piece of equipment that is meant to reduce pulling has been tried & either failed or had limited success. I reached a stage where I didn't know what to do next then spotted Katharines excellent course Walking in Balance which uses a different approach to the pulling...she teaches TTouch which seems to have positive effect right from the start, there was also lots of other tips, techniques & advice avaiable. We still have a long way to go but truly believe with some hard work and support from Katharine we will be able to achieve some loose lead walking which will be amazing as going for walks has been out of the question for the past 2 years due to my strong springer spaniel becoming over excited & dragging me all over the place as soon as we leave the house. Katharine is very knowledgable and the course is well organised ...a really enjoyable day for both dogs & their humans 😀

My experience with Katharine has just been so amazing. I loved the simple and effective ways she teaches the TTOUCH techniques in the course, her friendly and approachable personality, down to earth with a sense of humour which helps a lot to warm up to new people and take things lightly. I love her genuine interest to help, encourage and support people throughout the course and afterwards. Great pleasure attending the course, I have learned a lot and now having fun practicing. I would definitely recommend Katharine @caninesupport.co.uk if you are looking for someone honest, reliable and knowledgeable that will support you with care in your journey with your dog.

Enjoyed a very relaxed, caring and informative training/introduction day with Katharine. Her approach was needs led, demonstrating compassion towards myself and my dog within a group event. It was a lovely experience in a great setting and I would definitely recommend to others.

Me and my dog attended a Tellington TTouch® course with Katharine from Canine Support in Wellington, Somerset – and wow, what a day! 💛<br><br>As a professional dog walker, I’m always looking to learn more about how to help the dogs in my care feel calm, confident, and safe. This course couldn’t have come at a better time. The TTouch techniques Katharine taught us are gentle, non-invasive, and incredibly effective at helping dogs who might be anxious, reactive, or just unsure in new situations.<br><br>I’ve already started using what I learned with the dogs I walk daily – especially the ones who struggle with new environments, car travel, or seeing other dogs. Just a few simple touches or calming techniques can make a HUGE difference on a walk. It’s not about “training” in the traditional sense, but about creating trust and helping dogs feel more grounded. 💫<br><br>My dog absolutely loved it too – she was calm, relaxed, and totally in the zone by the end of the day!<br><br>Katharine is so knowledgeable and kind – she creates such a safe, supportive space for both dogs and their humans to learn and grow.<br><br>🐶 Whether you’re a fellow dog walker, pet professional, or just want to support your dog better at home, I can’t recommend her courses enough. ✨<br><br>If you ever get the chance to book onto one of Katharine’s workshops at Canine Support, do it! 🙌<br>It’s one of the best things I’ve done this year—for both my work and my bond with my dog. 💕
