Stronger Bond, Better Dog – Community Workshop in Dunlavin

Working-breed dogs are incredible — smart, driven, and loyal to the core. But they don’t come with an off-switch, and without the right structure, they can become overwhelming for even experienced dog lovers.

That’s why I’m inviting you to a special community workshop designed for owners, future owners, and anyone curious about what it really means to live and work with breeds like Malinois, German Shepherds, and Dutch Shepherds.

Event Details

• Date: Saturday, November 1st, 2025
• Time: 9:30 AM – 1:00 PM
• Location: Imaal Hall, 1 Upper Stephen St, Dunlavin Upper, Dunlavin, Co. Wicklow, W91 N8H7
• Booking: Reserve your spot on Eventbrite → Click here.

Note: Please do not bring your dog — the trainer’s dogs will be used during the demonstrations.

What You’ll Learn

This is not just another obedience class. It’s an opportunity to explore:

• The realities of living with high-drive, working-breed dogs
• How to choose responsible breeders and avoid common pitfalls
• Practical techniques to improve engagement, communication, and calm behaviour
• Why structure, consistency, and fair training methods matter

Whether you’re preparing for your first shepherd or struggling to connect with the one you already have, this workshop is for you.

Why It Matters

Every year, more and more working dogs end up surrendered, misunderstood, or untrained — not because they’re “bad dogs,” but because the expectations didn’t match the reality. Education is the first step to changing that.

100% of proceeds from this event will be donated to the DSPCA, so not only are you investing in your dog’s future — you’re also giving back.

Let’s Build Better Bonds — Together.

We believe that with the right knowledge and tools, any dog can thrive — and so can their owners. Join us for a morning of honest conversation, practical tools, and real-life solutions.
