About the Course

Welcome to our Neutrality Walks!

We've put these together with Izzy from Southdown Dogs to offer a guided group walk with two trainers, where we can help you build neutrality in a real world environment.

So, whether you have a dog that’s over excited by other dogs, a little nervous, working through their reactivity journey, or simply needs to do some of the most important socialising (aka, learning to ignore other dogs!) our neutral walks can help you teach them to calmly exist with other dogs and to focus on you in a real world setting, while getting out to some new places.

With a maximum of 6 dogs per group, our neutral walks run on a Wednesday morning and take place in a variety of different locations from countryside to town centres and everywhere in between.

Sometimes, we'll even have one of the Valhalla Stooges along to show everyone how it's done!

Run jointly with Valhalla's Training Team & Izzy from South Downs Dogs, there's always two trainers on hand to guide and advise.

Your Instructor

Laura, Adam & Izzy

Laura is our resident Behaviourist, qualified to dipCAPBT Level 4. She's been working with dogs for her entire life - from the RSPCA to Egypt. As a member of the Uk Behaviour Charter, ABTC, APDT and the CAPBT (phew) you could say she's a bit of a expert. Laura's passion and expertise lies in helping owners and dogs build long lasting partnerships through training & engagement, getting the best out of every dog that comes to Valhalla. Adam has been working with animals for well over a decade, training not just dogs but everything from ferrets to snakes! He runs Valhalla's Walk & Train & supports Laura in those more difficult behavioural cases & class events. Adam loves those big, driven dogs... the more the better. He delights in taking on the ones that leave others pulling their hair out and finding what motivates them to bring out their best - yes, he is mad. Izzy runs South Downs Dogs, and works alongside Laura to run Reactive Rovers. With a passion for helping Reactive Dogs, Izzy's work as an agility trainer comes into it's own to help build partnerships & engagement between reactive dogs & their owners.
