Webinars

Live Online Learning

Learn from anywhere, coming soon.

Not everyone can get to a Scottish loch, and not every useful lesson needs to happen on the water. Our webinars will bring the theory side of canine paddlesports to you, wherever you are.

Topics we’re planning

  • Dog water safety: the checks that matter before every trip
  • Cold water, cold dogs: what Scottish conditions teach us about year-round safety
  • Choosing the right vessel and buoyancy aid for your dog
  • Reading canine body language on and around the water
  • Recall: building the skill your dog’s safety depends on

Sessions will be live, with time for questions, and recorded for anyone who can’t make the slot. Time zones welcome, we already work with clients across the USA, the EU and Australia.

Register your interest and we’ll let you know when dates are confirmed.
