Community support

Connected Companions Group Coaching

Addressing your dog’s behaviour concerns, coming to terms with current lifestyle limitations, letting go of the attachment to a specific outcome, losing hope, feeling burnt out or alone, and honouring the dog you got rather than the dog you wanted, is all hard emotional work. I’m here to help!

This service is on hold until Spring 2026, due to me taking a sacred pause to honour the birth of my son. If you are keen to join us when we launch it again, please sign up on our waitlist - and I’ll keep you informed.

A training & emotional support group for dog people.

There is no need to do it alone.

I firmly believe that we can learn from and be inspired by our like-minded community members. The Connected Companions Support Group ensures support is accessible to everyone. It is a supportive community and safe place to express all your feelings about life with your dog as well as to get help from Annika regarding training tips specific to your dog’s needs, and SELF care tips to keep you both on track.

Hard days or better days - you deserve a community to support and celebrate you and your pup on your healing journey towards more joy.

  • Calls are the place to be heard, to vent, to celebrate, to connect with others who understand your struggles and triumphs, and if you need it, to receive supportive self-development suggestions that might help you find more peace on your path.

    Our community holds wisdom. This is a place to feel understood and inspired by others walking a similar path as you, ask me for guidance with whatever is present for you this month, and to get direction and comfort to keep you moving forward.

    Each month will have a theme and a suggestion for self-care or dog training to help you deepen your connection to yourself and your dog.

  • The live group sessions will be recorded, and recordings will be emailed to you after each call.

  • ✓ Solutions and suggestions supervised by a Professional Behaviour Consultant (me!)

    ✓ Somatic release and self care practices/suggestions to help you take care of YOU (this is often hard for people with dogs requiring extra attention)

    ✓ Access to Private Signal support groups to connect with our community, to celebrate wins, and for support on harder days.

  • You can sign up and cancel anytime!
