The Snout & About
Client Network
The internationally acclaimed concept bringing clients together for meaningful, lifelong change.
A community of people who truly get it
Working with a consultant or trainer is invaluable — but being surrounded by people who truly understand what you and your dog are experiencing is life changing.
The Snout & About Client Network connects guardians who are beginning their behaviour and training journeys with those who have already made enormous progress. It becomes a powerful lifeline when you need safe, understanding partners to practise with — whether that's dog–dog reactivity work, visitor protocols, calm co-walking, or simply companionship without judgement.
Operating in Cork and Kilkenny, this is an exclusive Snout & About concept that has transformed lives, empowered clients, reduced isolation, built confidence, and created long-lasting friendships. It exists to break the cycle of shame, fear and blame that dog guardians so often feel — replacing it with connection, compassion and community.
The network is available to clients who have completed full consultation services with Snout & About in their respective counties. This ensures every member has the professional foundation to support and practise safely together.

Everything you need to keep moving forward
Peer-to-peer support
Real support from guardians who understand the journey — the struggles, the setbacks, and the wins that matter most.
Practice opportunities
Safe, structured opportunities to practise behaviour and training protocols — reactivity work, visitor protocols, calm co-walking — with like-minded guardians.
Judgement-free space
A genuinely safe environment to share concerns, celebrate progress and be honest about setbacks — without shame or blame.
Expert guidance
Group check-ins and input from your consultant and trainer when you need them — to troubleshoot challenges and celebrate your successes.
Lifelong & free
The Client Network provides lifelong, free support. No subscription, no time limit — because the journey doesn't end after a consultation.
Real friendships
Members consistently report lasting friendships formed within the network — built on shared experience, trust and a love of their dogs.
