Do you ever find yourself stuck for training ideas for your dog? Or simply just bored of doing the same things?

Training with our dogs can be great fun, but sometimes it feels like an uphill battle. You’re not sure what to do next, you’ve tried something but are stuck on how to progress or you’ve simply run out of ideas!

One week you’re trying new games, the next you’re too busy to train at all.

And in between, you’re wondering:

Am I doing enough? Am I doing it right?

If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. 

Join Connect and Progress TODAY!

Only £7 per month 😱

Connect and Progress is a monthly membership designed to deliver clear, confidence-building training - to keep both you and your dog moving forward, one calm step at a time.

Each month brings fresh, practical ideas to explore together; no pressure, no perfection required. Just steady progress. 

Does this sound familiar?

You love finding new things to do with your dog - little training games, enrichment ideas, fun challenges.

But every time you sign up for an online course, it turns into too much.

🤯 Dozens of lessons.
🎥 Endless videos.
😭 And that creeping feeling that you’re 'behind' before you’ve even started.

I've been there. I'm a course addict 😂 But I've also got the attention span of a banana 🍌Sometimes I just want one thing to work on - a quick idea to get me out of analysis paralysis.

That’s exactly what Connect and Progress gives you: simple, practical training and enrichment ideas that fit your life, not the other way around. Plus, access to a trainer to answer your questions as well as a community for support.

Explained really well, foundation levels taught clearly and video also helped to see it being done

I find your presentation style down to earth and easy to follow.

Cecilia & Tilly

Your methods are easy to do and fun for both. I enjoyed the commonsense, laid back approach. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, I'm your trainer - Sara

I'm a Crocs wearing, treat bag toting, bobble-hatted dog training nerd 😁 I started dog training back in 1998, and have gone on to train and compete in agility, rally obedience, scentwork and more. I have a particular passion for foundations, but also love digging into more complex training concepts.

I've been supporting learners online and in person for over a decade, and I enjoy coming up with out-of-the-box solutions.

I set up Compass Canine in 2018, and it's all about choice and respect in dog training - for dogs and their guardians alike.

I'm the author of Scentwork: Step by Step, which has now sold over 10,000 copies 😱

I'm ably assisted in all things dog training by my two spaniels, Ripley and Peak. That's who you'll be seeing in the video demos!

'I have really enjoyed your relaxed, no frills style of teaching, it makes your training more relatable for me.' - Karen and Arthur

💞 This is perfect for you if…

  • You’re a dog guardian who loves learning without overwhelm
  • You’ve completed other Compass Canine courses, enjoyed my training style and want to keep the momentum going
  • You enjoy celebrating progress, no matter how big or small, rather than chasing perfection
  • You’d like regular, realistic training inspiration that fits into everyday life 

This is a low-cost membership - you’re not going to get pages of content that you just know you’re never going to look at. The focus here is on clarity, kindness and steady progress. There are no complicated plans or rigid schedules here - just thoughtful training you can adapt to your own dog and lifestyle.

What's new, unique or different about your training?

Let’s be honest, with a couple of exceptions - there’s very little that’s really new or unique in dog training. What makes this membership different is me - my skills are broad (eclectic even!), and what you’re getting when you join is my extensive experience of applying everything I’ve learned to a variety of different situations, partnerships and contexts. I’m not re-inventing the wheel here; I just want to give people a chance to access good training, with the support that’s missing when you just ask in random groups on social media 🙈

Here's what you'll get:

  • One training exercise or tip (with video plus written notes)
  • Monthly LIVE ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions - pre-submit questions, or join in live to discuss your queries
  • A fun enrichment activity to make daily life more interesting
  • Access to a private community (and no, it’s not on Facebook!)

It’s everything you need to keep training feeling doable, joyful and connected - all in one place.

Ready to take the next step? Training doesn’t need to be perfect - it just needs to keep moving. Join us today and start building real, lasting progress with your dog.

Got questions? I've got answers...

Certainly not to start with, but the longer you stay the more we will build behaviours and skills. That said, most of what I use is stuff I have around the house. 

Obviously (or not...) I can't do the training for you, BUT - there's no pressure here to 'keep up' or even complete a course. My aim is just to inspire you to do a little bit with your dog a few times a week - this will benefit both of you 💕 It's just £7 per month, and you can cancel anytime - join for a month (or two) and if you still aren't using it then you can leave. I won't mind 😉

And don't forget - there's community support available for any time you feel you motivation waning.

It's going to vary! Some of the training will be small space. at home basics, but there's always the option to add challenge by training in new places. That said, you're not going to seek out special places to go.

It's the classic dog training answer - 'it depends!' If you've picked new information up from any of my free training or challenges, then it's likely you'll learn something from spending more time with me. As mentioned above, my skills and knowledge are wide and varied and I sometimes have a unique viewpoint. Please do get in touch if you have any specific questions. 

I don't know! Best to check a currency converter as the exact amount will vary from day to day.

No problem - email hello@compasscanine.co.uk and I'll do my very best to answer you as soon as I can.

Your choices (because I'm all about choice 😉)
