FREE Webinar:
Give Your Dog a Voice With Choice

The Dog Is The Boss! A practical framework for cooperation, consent and everyday communication

An on-demand webinar for dog guardians who want less conflict, less stress, and a more equal relationship with their dog.

What if your dog didn’t have to cope…
…but could actually communicate?

Most dogs don’t struggle because they are “difficult.”
They struggle because they have very little control over their own lives.

Walks they didn’t choose.
Handling they didn’t consent to.
Situations they’re expected to tolerate without being heard.

In this webinar, you’ll learn a simple but powerful framework that changes how everyday life with your dog feels, for both of you.

THE BOOK

GIVE YOUR DOG A VOICE WITH CHOICE

What happens when we stop demanding obedience— and start giving choices instead?

This book is both a rebellion and a love letter. A rebellion against outdated ideas of control, and a tribute to the dog who looks at you and asks, “Can we do this together?”

Drawing on personal stories, behaviour analysis, and emerging science, Tess shows how cooperation, choice, and trust can transform everything—not just how we train dogs, but how we live with them.

You’ll learn clear, compassionate strategies for everyday challenges like vet visits, barking at other dogs, or being home alone. But this is more than just training. It’s a new way of being together—one that enriches life for both you and your dog.

When dogs are given a voice, they become more confident, more resilient, and more at ease in our human world.

And we, in turn, become better listeners, better friends, and better humans.

For anyone who wants to understand their dog more deeply, build a two-way friendship, and become the human their dog truly deserves.
