You can’t repeat the same thing that isn’t working and expect different results.
Embrace the Unconventional: Discover How A Different Approach Can Lead to Better, Transformative Results.
1. Dialogue vs Commands: Training relies heavily on command-response patterns. It’s a language of instruction where success is measured by obedience. CDD, however, is a dialogue-based approach. It’s about creating a two-way communication channel where you learn to read and respond to your dog’s unique signals, and they learn to trust and understand your guidance.
2. Understanding Emotions, Not Just Behaviours: Conventional training often treats symptoms - the visible behaviours - without addressing the underlying emotional triggers. CDD dives deeper, helping you to understand why your dog reacts the way they do. It’s about emotional intelligence, not just behavioural modification.
3. No Treats or Lures: Many training methods use treats or toys as incentives for compliance. CDD moves away from this external motivation. Instead, it builds on the intrinsic bond and trust between you and your dog, fostering a relationship where cooperation isn’t treat or force-dependent.
4. Beyond Obedience to Mutual Respect: Traditional training can sometimes edge into dominance-based methods, focusing on asserting control over the dog. CDD is rooted in mutual respect and understanding. It’s about guiding, not dominating; about partnership, not leadership.
5. Adapting to Each Dog’s Individuality: Standard training methods can be quite uniform, applying the same techniques regardless of a dog’s personality. CDD recognises and celebrates each dog’s individuality. It’s a bespoke approach, tailored to the unique emotional and cognitive makeup of your dog.
6. Holistic Approach: Training often compartmentalises a dog’s life into sessions and routines. CDD is a holistic lifestyle approach. It integrates into every interaction with your dog, transforming the way you live and communicate with them daily.
7. Focus on Emotional Recovery: Where training seeks to manage behaviours, CDD aims for emotional healing and growth. It’s about helping your dog become more confident, calm, and content, not just less reactive.
In essence, Canine Dialogue Dynamics is not just a method; it’s a philosophy. It’s about shifting from ‘training’ your dog to ‘understanding and growing with’ your dog. It offers a path to a more harmonious and fulfilling life together, far removed from the stress and limitations of conventional training.

““I booked Bethany when I became a first-time Puppy Parent, and it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. Her help has been invaluable for me and my family, from advice around nutrition and taking Tyke on his first walk to help navigating teenage years with an intact dog. I truly believe that it’s thanks to her and all the guidance she has given us is why we now have a very content, well-rounded two-year-old dog who is a joy to have around. I would recommend her in a heartbeat as she not only understands dog behaviours but also understands owners’ fears and concerns. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” ”

““I booked Bethany for a 1-1 over Zoom to help with my dog’s behavioural issues. Bethany was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and informative. I understood exactly what I needed to do to help my dogs and was introduced to Canine Dialogue Dynamics. I then joined Bethany’s reactivity membership group, which I absolutely love! Plenty of enjoyable content, informative posts, and videos. A lovely place to form a community and surround myself with others who have gone through similar struggles. My dog has changed so much since I worked with Bethany, and so have my other two! We are so much more relaxed, comfortable, and content now - even around other dogs! Thanks so much, Bethany, because you have changed our lives!””
Gemma Armstrong
““I booked the Behavioural consultation over Zoom. My case was a bit complex, so Bethany extended the 90-minute consultation to over 2 hours for me! It was very comprehensive; she went the extra mile to help my dog, and I received plenty of support after the consultation. I also did the reactivity course, and it helped me so much to go through all the steps. Bethany is extremely thorough, friendly, and she is very knowledgeable. She is the best behaviourist I’ve ever had (and I’ve been to a few!) Her method is so unique, flexible, and ethical. Thank you, Bethany. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐” ”

We’re so confident in the effectiveness of the “Redefining Reactivity” course and the CDD method, that we offer you a robust guarantee. We promise a significant transformation in your relationship with your dog, leading to:
Canine Dialogue Dynamics. It means teaching each individual dog as they express their choices, and their intellectual mind. It involves no training methods, which means there are no cues, hand signals, conditioning, or desensitisation. We do not use rewards to lure, encourage, or manipulate any response. We do not use corrections, punishers, or any training tools. All our methods are ethical, with the dog's mental and physical well-being at the forefront of everything we do.
No, certainly not. Dogs need structure and boundaries just like children do, if we did not have boundaries, then life would be chaotic, as would their minds! This would not benefit anyone, especially your dog. It just means that within necessary boundaries each dog can choose to express themselves freely and can be who they are without unnecessary rules. We teach dogs the needed boundaries that are necessary for safety and harmony but this is done in an educational and natural way through gentle communication.
Because we know that dog's brains are more advanced and capable of learning much more than what is currently believed. We know that dogs understand far more receptive language than a 2–3-year-old child, and that the most realistic equivalent is around a 6-year-old child when we compare learning milestones. With this in mind, we know that dogs flourish expediently when we switch instructional basic language to educational language. We wouldn't teach a child of 6 years old in the same way we teach a toddler, so it does not make sense to remain at this basic level when teaching dogs. This is not beneficial to them.
Training is just one polarised way of teaching dogs. It involves using repetition and conditioning alongside desensitisation. This doesn't benefit every single dog, and although it does have its place in the dog world, we offer an alternative way of teaching dogs. Dogs are perfectly capable of learning and developing through educational teaching in a more natural way. Whilst retaining the ethos of force-free methods, and just removing the training element, we teach dogs how to live their life to the fullest whilst remaining safe and self-controlled. Lead walking, recall, social skills, confidence building, and polite and appropriate behaviour are still taught with CDD, but we do remove unnecessary strict rules.
Dog training isn't the same as how we teach, and although the word 'training' does overlap when we refer to how we teach children and people that isn't the same training that we apply to dogs. When we apply training to people, we are training them for a specific skill. This is done by repeating the same technique over and over until it is perfected, but we aren't using that same approach to teach them how to do everything in their life. When people are training for something, they don't have someone luring them with treats or someone punishing them if they get it wrong. They are simply learning through experience and repetition. So, dog training and people training for specific skills are entirely different.
Although we have been really transparent to show everyone what our course does and does not involve, we understand that it still might not be everyone's cup of tea. We offer a 6 month money back guarantee if you feel this course isn't for you. We are confident that you will enjoy the course though :)
Yes, we have added a bonus members group where you can ask questions and share your thoughts and your journey. The course is also filled with self assessments and immersive quizzes. This is a place you can receive support throughout your CDD journey.
