At Good Dogs! we understand that in order to be a good 'pack leader' you need to consistently meet your dogs expectations and convince him of your top ranking status. People who achieve this often want to be able to become a dog behaviourist themselves or extend their knowledge further.

Sharon Bolt from Good Dogs! holds an Exclusive 5 Day Advanced Course (Click here to see the course in action) which is only for people who are serious about becoming a dog behaviourist or have a strong desire to increase their knowledge.

Sharon says ‘I believe the best way to learn is to roll up your sleeves and get involved yourself, which is why there are so many ‘hands on’ approaches and situations during the course. I also believe that small groups are more beneficial to the participants as it enables me to give each person individual attention, support and direction.’

 For this reason there is…

• A maximum of 4 people on the advanced course to ensure that all individual needs are met.
  
  During the course you will experience:
  

• Sharon conducting a ‘live’ home consultation

• Holding your own ‘live’ consultation with Sharon and the group supporting

• Observing the other group members perform a ‘live’ consultation

• Plenty of individual ‘hands on’ outside consultations working with clients and their dogs, where Sharon will   give support and direction if required.

Why does Sharon do so many live situations, all of which are not set-up or pre-arranged? Why does she put herself under the spot light where situations could go wrong and her abilities be questioned? Because she believes this is the most effective way of learning, a theory which has been echoed many times from past groups.

 I really enjoyed the hands on stuff, it’s great for giving you confidence.

  The practical areas were a priceless experience and worth the course price alone, given the results and confidence built.

This is what Kay Duffy from Sharpthorne , Sussex said after she had a home consultation with 2 group members: 

A huge thanks for the very informative consultation that I attended. The trainers certainly reassured me that I was doing some things correctly and gave me a huge amount of information on how I would improve my 'top dog' skills. Ellie and I returned home and have put them into practise. Dexter is responding really well and is now walking on the lead and looking up to either of us for leadership. We are really enjoying training him and he is really responding.

 
I want to say that the improvement was immediate and I was really surprised we managed to make a difference so quickly. We returned from the consultation and found that the whole house was calmer, even the cats made an appearance with Dexter, up until then they made great efforts to avoid him at all cost. I can now see the light at the end of the tunnel!

This is what Katharine Ruff from Burgess Hill, Sussex wrote after having a 1 hour outside consultation with one group member:

Robbie is a very good trainer- his personable nature and his relaxed and confident approach to both owner and dog alike made for a very enjoyable session. He took the time to listen to me about the current situation, asking insightful questions in order to fully understand our predicament and then we got to work. Robbie explained clearly what we were doing and I was amazed that within a very short space of time Robbie had Bailey walking by his side, no pulling or jumping. I was also very pleased to be able to get Harvey to do the same with me however I was totally blown away when Robbie handed Bailey back to me and there I was with both my dogs walking calmly and attentively by my side- this had never happened before- usually with a bit of effort I would be able to get Harvey beside me but Bailey would be off ahead, dragging us down the road! We continued working like this for some time, Robbie constantly giving encouragement and reminding me what I needed to do in case I slipped back to old habits! Things got even better as we managed to walk past other dogs with no signs of aggression or nerves from Harvey and with no jumping and excitement from Bailey- both dogs giving me their full attention. Again this was fantastic and more than I could have hoped for in just one session. I now use the techniques that Robbie taught me on a daily basis and I certainly have much more enjoyable walks with my dogs now that I know they will walk with me and not drag me along or growl/bark at any other dog who happens to be nearby.

This amazing feedback was written about the trainers when they performed ‘live’ consultations on day 4 of the course.

Robbie Clarke – Morcambe, Lancs

I loved the course, every minute of it, I am so grateful to you for not only teaching me about dogs but also thinking out of the box and getting the marketing together!  It was a unique course for me in that there was nothing you said that didn’t resonate completely and utterly with my own philosophy that will work for the rest of my life, let alone dog work!

Suzi Grant – Brighton , Sussex

I feel the course has given me the confidence to start my own journey into the business of being a dog behaviour expert. The course was presented in an easy to comprehend manner and questions were well received and answered. Truly a life changing experience.

Leigh Phippard – Okehampton, Devon

The course met all my expectations and more. Sharon ’s explanations were very clear and to the point. I would recommend this course to anybody who is interested in starting their own business or just wants to know more about their dog’s behaviour and how to communicate to their dog in a way they understand.

Paul Dunmore – Hockley, Essex

I feel empowered to go and make a really positive difference to my dogs’ lives. I’m now confident in my ability to understand all that my dogs need to make their lives as balanced, happy and relaxed as they deserve.

The course is the best I have ever attended. Not only is the food, venue and host fantastic, Sharon is a brilliant teacher who certainly knows her stuff and keeps the five days upbeat and lively and whilst you’re enjoying your time you learn so much.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who has a passion to make their dogs’ lives bliss and/or would like to work with dogs. Your dogs will think it’s the best money you have ever spent!

Thank you so much for inviting me on the Advance Course. I now fully understand what my dog is telling me and I have learnt so many ways to improve my leadership with my dog. I feel very confident with the knowledge I have received during these 5 days that I can hold my own consultations. The venue was so lovely and the food was fantastic!

I would without a doubt recommend this course to anyone who would like to know more about pack mentality and leadership and/or who would like to become a dog behaviourist.

I would definitely recommend this course.

The advanced course has been fantastic. Sharon is an excellent teacher who clearly and steadily imparts knowledge and builds confidence culminating in practical hands-on training. All of this is delivered in a beautiful, calm environment with outstanding home cooked food. In a nutshell – A superb and very empowering course – thoroughly recommended. 

Mark Billingham - Horsham, Sussex

I now have a sound knowledge base that I feel confident to work with. The course was presented in a very clear and interesting manner. It included a variety of components which came together strongly to present the 'whole picture.' Mock consultations, demo consultations and hands on sessions all orchestrated by Sharon have instilled a great deal of confidence. Empowerment is the name of the game.
