Welcome to The Dog Wellness Centre with Sally Gutteridge
At The Dog Wellness Centre, our focus is on dogs and their wellbeing. Sally Gutteridge brings years of unparalleled experience to the centre, having served as a dog trainer for the British Army, an instructor at Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, and working with thousands of dogs across a variety of needs and disciplines. Sally has also founded and grown highly successful online dog education and membership businesses, including The International School of Canine Psychology and Behaviour, Canine Principles, and The National Institute for Canine Ethics.
The Dog Wellness Centre is dedicated to promoting wellness, ethics, and healing for dogs, particularly those who have experienced trauma. With compassion for both dogs and their people, we utilise trauma-informed practices and skilled activities such as scentwork to empower dogs and support their recovery. Our goal is to protect dogs from unneccessary fear and anxiety, ensuring their emotional and physical welfare is prioritised.
At The Dog Wellness Centre, we believe that when training a struggling dog, it is essential to address their emotional and internal health first. By prioritising their wellbeing and addressing underlying issues, we create the foundation for effective and lasting behavioural changes.
Scentwork, one of our core activities, provides dogs with a stimulating and enriching experience that taps into their natural instincts. This activity not only enhances their wellbeing but also supports their emotional health and recovery from trauma. Our approach integrates science-based teaching to ensure every dog benefits from the latest research in canine behaviour and welfare. Every service and activity at The Dog Wellness Centre is designed with the dog’s needs, abilities, and happiness in mind.
The Dog Wellness Centre also warmly welcomes dog professionals who are looking to deepen their knowledge and refine their skills. We offer inclusive, evidence-based resources and practical guidance to empower professionals in their work with dogs. By embracing ethical practices and trauma awareness, professionals can create lasting positive change for the dogs in their care.
Sally’s mission is to help dogs live their best lives, free from fear and filled with confidence and joy. With a compassionate, ethical, and evidence-based approach, The Dog Wellness Centre offers support for dogs and the professionals who dedicate their lives to them, ensuring they thrive in a world that can sometimes be challenging.
