The Snout & About Client Network
The internationally acclaimed concept bringing clients together for meaningful change
The Snout & About Client Network brings together our clients for support that makes a lifelong difference. 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.
This community 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. All with the know-how following professional consultation.
Operating in Cork and Kilkenny for now, 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 directed at them, replacing it with connection, compassion and community.
The network is available to clients who have completed full consultation services in their respective counties. Within this safe and supportive community, members benefit from:
- Peer-to-peer support for real-life struggles and wins
- Opportunities to practise behaviour and training protocols with like-minded guardians
- A judgement-free environment to share concerns, progress and setbacks
- Group guidance, check-ins and expert input from your consultant and trainers
This concept was recognised by the IAABC as an incredibly progressive, internationally unique model of client aftercare and community support and it began right here in Cork.
The Snout & About Client Network provides lifelong, free support among members, with your consultant and trainer stepping in when needed to help troubleshoot challenges and celebrate your successes. It is another level of care designed to ensure no one is ever alone on this journey.
A community of people, just like you, who truly get it.
