Written by the company

At the Ladies Working Dog Group (LWDG), we know dog training isn’t always picture-perfect — and that’s exactly why we’re here. We’re a nationwide (and growing international!) community of women who are passionate about gundogs, and even more passionate about supporting each other through the highs, lows, and “what on earth just happened?!” moments of training. Inside LWDG, you’ll find a treasure trove of resources: Masterclasses, brilliant Featured Experts, experienced dog trainers, handy tips and tools, and our beloved live coaching sessions). But here’s the heart of it all: we’re about helping women build confidence in themselves, not just their dogs. We’re here to help you go from feeling unsure to feeling like part of a real team — you and your dog, working together. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at this a while, you’ll find a community that cheers you on, celebrates the little wins, and reminds you that you’re not doing this alone. Because at LWDG, we believe a confident woman and her dog can achieve just about anything — and have a lot of fun along the way.

Join the LWDG you won’t regret it!

So pleased to have found the Ladies Working Dog Group. It is such a non judgmental and kind group of people whose mantra is ‘ You don’t know what you don’t know’ so no question you might want to ask, is considered stupid. The experts are great ,they are very enthusiastic, and go out of their way to help with any training issue you may have. The training weekends are good fun and give you renewed motivation and enthusiasm to keep training your dog.

Ah that’s lovely to read, thank you. It honestly means a lot knowing you’ve found your people here. The whole aim was to create a space where women could learn, ask, and grow without fear of being judged, and seeing that come to life through members like you is really special. I’m so glad you’re enjoying the training and the weekends too. They’re some of my favourite parts, when everyone has a laugh, and the dogs remind us why we do all this in the first place. Much love, Jo

Oh this just made my day, thank you so much for sharing this.
It means the world to know the group has helped you feel confident again as that’s exactly what we’re here for. You’ve done the brave bit by showing up and doing the work, and it’s wonderful to hear you’re already seeing results. We’re so proud of you and your dog!

What a supportive confidence boost!

A fantastic group that is flexible and allows you to intersect with as little or as much as you like/need.
There are an array of platforms to help with your gundog training needs through social media, live events and podcasts.
This group really takes on the diversity of gundog trainers or budding gundog trainers and realising that a one size fits all approach is not the way. Thank you guys and keep up the good work!

The Thoughtful Dog Trainers Tribe

This community/tribe is just the best, with the most positive ethos. There is an extensive library of information, courses, masterclasses and podcasts, experts on hand to answer queries, online training, face to face training, group chats with an army of women who are loyal and welcoming. This tribe has your back, they will celebrate, commiserate, boost, energise, empathise, support, educate, and motivate. They are a very positive influence, from a weekly newsletter boost to taking care of both ends of the lead through positive training methods and mental support. When you need a rock it’s here, and all questions are answered, none are stupid, ‘if you don’t know, you don’t know!’.
If you need help to train your dog, any dog, not just Gundogs, and you feel overwhelmed and lost, look no further, the best help is on hand in this group. I have been a member for over a year, and lurked on the fringes for a year prior to that.

Aww Karen what an absolutely beautiful review. I'm genuinely touched. Thank you so much.

This group is amazing

This group is amazing, so welcoming, so helpful and so supportive. The amount of resources offered within the group is well worth joining in their own right, never mind the fortnightly dog and duck - where the experts answer any questions we have on training. Also the weekly Monday mindset such a great way to start the week. In addition Jo sends a weekly newsletter offering pointers to new articles and to encourage us that we are not alone in training our gundogs. I can’t speak highly enough about this group I am so glad that I found them and joined.

the hot mess…

I have just followed the hot mess handler course, and what a course it was well worth joining up and listening to the ladies experiences and explaining what to do with your dogs step by step. My dogs have become much better at home. They recall to the whistle, they stay in position.the retrieve to hand. And I have access to the course to go back over it when I need too

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on the course, it's great to read how the course is helping you and your dog's, this is exactly the reason we created it 😁.

Great course for developing the basic skills

Fantastic course that explains the basic skills needed for training a working dog. The classes are in-depth and aimed to move you through the core training to develop your dog. Ideal for those just starting on their journey or for those who want to have a dog with the good manners and training to be a well rounded pet dog.

Fun, Helpful & Informative Group

So happy I found this fun, inclusive group of women where experts generously share their knowledge, time and passion. I am a complete beginner and have learnt so much and feel a lot more confident with my dog training. It is a place where you are not made to feel silly for asking any questions you may have, everyone is so happy to help.
