Engage & Excel
Building confident, focused, and responsive dogs in real-world environments
What Is Engage & Excel?
Engage & Excel is a self-paced online course designed to help you build a well-rounded dog who can think, respond and work with you - even in unfamiliar, distracting environments.
This course focuses on developing strong engagement, reliable focus, enthusiastic responses and practical everyday skills, so your dog doesn't just behave at home, but excels out on walks, in new places and around distractions.
Whether you're struggling with attention outdoors, loose lead walking, recall reliability, or keeping your dog motivated and connected, this course gives you the foundations to build lasting results.
Who This Course Is For:
- Dogs who lose focus when out and about
- Dogs who struggle with lead walking or attention in new places
- Owners who want better engagement without force or frustration
- Young dogs, adolescent dogs, or adult dogs needing stronger foundations
- Gundog breeds and active dogs - but suitable for all breeds
This course is ideal if you want calm, controlled behaviour without suppressing drive or enthusiasm.

By the end of this course, you will:
- Improve strong engagement so your dog chooses to work with you

- Create a reliable recall using motivation, clarity and consistency
- Channel your dog's drive and enthusiasm into useful behaviours

How This Course Is Different
Engage & Excel doesn't focus on "quick fixes" or suppressing behaviour.
Instead, you'll learn how to:
- Build a dog who wants to engage
- Maintain enthusiasm while improving control
- Create skills that hold up in real-world environments
- Understand your dog, not just train them
This course is about creating connection first, so obedience becomes a natural outcome.
