ACEing Car Travel

Join Penny Leedal and Sonia Catherall for this 4 week online workshop starting on Wednesday 5th March 2025

  • Are car journeys with your dog a source of stress and anxiety?   
  • Is your dog barking, drooling, panting, shaking, or trying to escape?  
  • Do you find yourself dreading even the shortest trips because your dog is uncomfortable, anxious, or fearful of traveling in the car? 
  • You're not alone. Many other dog guardians experience this challenge which can affect not only the well-being of your dog but also your peace of mind. 

Help your dog to feel safe, comfortable and content

Imagine being able to enjoy calm, peaceful car rides with your canine companion, knowing that they feel safe, comfortable and content during your journey together.

Join us on our new workshop ACEing Car Travel!
