Why choose The Underdog Project?

Our sessions are designed to help dogs and their people feel supported, confident and ready to enjoy the adventure together.

Dog Centred Approach

Every session is tailored to the individual dog, allowing them to work at their own pace while building confidence and enjoying the journey.

Small, supportive groups

With small group sizes and plenty of individual coaching, you’ll always have the support you and your dog need.

Positive, reward-based

We focus on what your dog can do, using positive, reward-based methods that make learning fun for both ends of the lead.

Confidence. Connection. Adventure.

Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or a confidence boost, every session is designed to strengthen the partnership between you and your dog.

Every dog has a story.

Some dogs arrive full of confidence.
Others need a little encouragement.
Some are reactive. Some simply need an outlet for their incredible nose.
Whatever your dog’s story, our scent-based activities are designed to build confidence, strengthen your partnership and create adventures you’ll both remember.
At The Underdog Project, every dog is welcome, every success is celebrated, and every journey starts with a single sniff.

What our clients say

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Trailing with Amy has made a huge difference to my nervous and reactive dog… when she first started trailing, she was scared of the world but now loves trailing with The Underdog Project and can’t wait to get out on the trail. Definitely recommend!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We love our trailing sessions with The Underdog Project! While it’s great for my dog, I also love the social aspect, I’ve met some really lovely like-minded people and sessions are always so much fun. Amy is brilliant, very knowledgeable and always makes you feel at ease. I always really look forward to our sessions!
