What is a Secret Garden?
Your secret garden is about creating a safe space where you and your dog can relax, take a stress break and engage all your dog’s senses.
Who is the Secret Garden for?
- Dogs that are reactive on their walks and struggle to be around other dogs, people, or cars.
- If you both need a break from your walks to decompress and re-balance.
- To rehabilitate after an injury or operation.
- If you have re-homed a rescue dog.
- A dog that has experienced trauma and needs time to learn to feel safe again.
Your Secret Garden is a place to lose yourself where time doesn't matter
Your Secret Garden is a place to lose yourself where time doesn't matter and where your dog can choose to explore, play or just chill beside you, where you can feel that deep connection you share.
Your garden is particular to you and your dog and can be created in small spaces such as balconies, yards, or even inside your home to provide that sensory exploration.
This course will give you a plethora of ideas of how to create your own special sanctuary and information about safe plants and activities.
Taking the time to unwind, practise self-care and decompress is vital to maintain and support both your physical health and psychological health.
