Does this sound familiar?

You want to train your dog, and you genuinely care about doing it well, but somehow it feels harder to make progress than it should. Maybe your dog is a bit too enthusiastic with new people, or outings with your dog aren't the relaxing experience you were dreaming of. Maybe you do know the basics, you’re just a bit stuck over what to do next; you want more connection, more clarity, more direction… but you just aren’t sure what your next step should be.

The problem isn’t that there’s not enough dog training advice out there - it’s that so much of it leaves you feeling overwhelmed, overthinking everything and unsure what actually applies to you and your dog. You feel like each time you read something, it contradicts everything you already read. Then you try a method that somehow isn't quite right for you and your dog.

Before you know it, you're stuck in a rabbit hole, and can't remember how you got here... You sign up for a course and are faced with 37 videos 🎥, or you ask a question online and get 87 different opinions 🤯 And although you’re really trying, it can feel like you’re making very little progress 😭

This isn’t about a lack of motivation, and definitely not because you don’t care (quite the opposite - that’s how you’ve landed here!)

It’s because it can be hard to move forward without clarity, focus and ongoing support.

That’s where Connect and Progress comes in.

This is a membership that’s designed to help you cut through the noise. Instead of giving you more content to work through, it offers clear, practical guidance - one step at a time - so you know what to focus on now, why it matters and how to fit it into real life.

Each month, you’re supported as you build confidence and connection with your dog, all the time guided by someone (hiii — it’s me, Sara!) with years of experience across pet dogs, sport dogs and real-life training challenges.

There’s no overwhelm, no pressure to keep up and no expectation of perfection; just steady, supported progress - together.

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!)

Take a peek inside 👇

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 😉)
