Dog training and resources

Dog training modules

We have been working with dog behaviourist and trainer Natalie Light to develop a FREE online course for dog owners. These videos are packed full of great tips that will give dog owners the information and skills to have fun and safe walks in Scotland’s outdoors as well as understand their rights and responsibilities under the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.
