Cannae Canine Coaching Programme
"We help Dugs that other folk Cannae train"
For dogs that don't fit traditional dog training classes. This is not a quick fix, but for owners struggling with dogs that perhaps tried other dog trainers and didn't get the results they were looking for.
For owners who are fed up with having their dog drag them down the street. I sometimes wonder who is walking who, because it looks like the dog is taking the owner for a walk! Let's change that.
Please note: This programme is exclusively for dogs over 6 months of age.
What You Will Achieve
We don't just train your dog; we give you the tools and confidence to build a lifelong partnership.
Receive a bespoke training roadmap designed specifically for your dog's unique temperament and challenges. No cookie-cutter approaches—just what works for you.
Learn to use balanced tools effectively. Gain the skills to communicate clearly with your dog, stopping pulling and reactivity in their tracks.
Enjoy stress-free walks and off-leash freedom. Achieve a calm canine companion that you can take anywhere with pride and confidence.
What You Will Learn
Irn Cast Foundations
Master essential place work and establish clear boundaries in the home.
Crate as a Safe Space
Learn why we teach the crate is a safe haven, not a punishment.
Perfect Recall
Build reliable recall for stress-free off-leash walking and true freedom.
Appropriate Play
Teach appropriate play to work with your dog's natural instincts, not against them.
Why Choose Me?
I'm not like other dog trainers.
I am a Professional Dog Trainer with a passion for dog training.
I'm here to coach owners to live their best life with their pet dog.
I'm not training for Crufts or agility.
I want to help other dog owners have a peaceful life with their unruly dugs.
The Role Model
Meet Daisy, the new face of Irn Cast Foundation.
Meet Daisy
Daisy is a Staffie/Corso crossbreed and my current Role Model dog. She represents everything this training stands for: calmness, confidence, and control in any environment.
Whether she's settling calmly in a busy dog-friendly cafe or walking perfectly by my side, Daisy proves that with the right foundation, even powerful breeds can be the perfect companions.
My journey started with Dexter, my 64kg Cane Corso who taught me the necessity of balanced tools after I broke my shoulder walking him. Daisy continues that legacy, showing that responsible ownership and clear communication create dogs that are a joy to live with.
"If you can't control your dog, you shouldn't have one—that's what people think. Well, I know how you feel. I've been there. Daisy is proof of what's possible."
Cannae Canine Coaching
After your initial consultation, I offer intensive 1-to-1 coaching sessions where I teach you how to handle and train your own dog.
Please note: This programme is exclusively for dogs over 6 months of age.
1-to-1 Coaching Sessions
I don't just train your dog; I coach you. During our intensive 1-to-1 sessions, you will learn the exact techniques needed to reset your dog's reactive behaviour and build foundational obedience skills.
This hands-on approach ensures that you, the owner, build the confidence and skills necessary to maintain control and continue the training long after our sessions are over.
You will work directly with your dog under my expert guidance. I set an Irn Cast foundation to help you create a more calm, focused, and obedient companion.

The Cost of Doing Nothing
Your dog's behaviour will get worse. Every walk becomes a time bomb.
One incident could cost you £13,000-£22,000+ in legal fees if your dog is seized under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 (Section 3 covers any breed) or Scotland's Control of Dogs (Scotland) Act 2010 (applies to any breed, not just banned breeds).

"Every dog and owner is different. During our consultation, we will discuss your specific needs and I will provide a custom quote for the coaching required to achieve your goals."
Meet Susan Jarvie
I am currently on a mentorship programme with the Yorkshire Canine Academy, constantly expanding my knowledge every day. I am part of a network of balanced dog training communities across the world.
My journey into dog training began because my first Staffie puppy was destroying my home and costing me a fortune.
I couldn't find a dog trainer in my local area that could provide the type of training I needed, so I learnt the hard way through trial and error.
I believe in a balanced approach that respects the dog while ensuring safety and control. My goal is to help you build an unbreakable "IrnCast" bond with your dog, just like the iron foundries of Kirkintilloch forged strong metal.

Meet Nala
The Last Resort
Meet Nala: The Last Resort
The Problem
"It was the last resort. I didn't want the dog taken off of me, me to get a criminal record and the dog getting destroyed... People body swerve me due to having 2 big mastiff dogs. No training, no house training, no leash obedience."
The Transformation
"She's been muzzle trained thanks to Cannae Dugs Aloud. She's so good at walking on lead. The nervousness is almost gone now."
What Stood Out
"The food motivation was what stood out... Follows commands, walks to heel, great on loose leash too. From what she was like until now it's night and day."
"Can't thank you enough for the transformation of Nala."
— Nala's Owner
Meet Mila
The Fussy Eater
Meet Mila: The Fussy Eater
The Problem
"I felt quite despairing as Mila wasn't eating much food at all. I was spending loads of money on fresh chicken, steak, mince—anything I could think of to try and get Mila to eat. Nothing was working."
The Transformation
"After my consultation with Susan, she showed me how to get Mila eating dry food. She now eats around 100g of kibble per day—as a result, I hardly need to buy or waste lots of food anymore."
What Stood Out
"I was very surprised Mila would never eat dry food, but after Susan showed me a different approach, Mila started eating kibble while walking. Another benefit is she comes to heel so much easier now."
"The change has been remarkable. No more wasted food, no more stress."
— D. Morrison
