The 30 day rescue dog roadmap
Delivered by a behaviour consultant and rescue dog guardian
Course Summary
Go from stressed to feeling blessed.
I absolutely know how hard it is taking on a rescue dog.
Unknown learning history. Unknown background. Pessimistic dog. You have it all against you. Until now!
I have set up an easy to navigate roadmap for any new rescue dog owner to follow. It takes the guess work out of the situation.
The biggest mistake new rescue owners make is rushing into "sit" and "stay" before their dog feels safe.
This 30-day digital roadmap is designed specifically for the critical decompression phase and the "hidden" period where your dog’s nervous system is still stuck in the shelter. We give you games and strategies that build a bond and the confidence in both you and your new dog.
Led by a professional behaviourist, the roadmap shifts the focus from obedience to observation.
You’ll learn how to decode subtle body language, set up a low-stress environment, and use passive enrichment to build trust without the pressure of formal training.
What’s inside:
- The Roadmap: Knowing exactly what to expect (and what to ignore).
- Decompression Dos & Don’ts: Protecting your dog from overwhelm.
- Calm Foundations: Low-impact activities that tire the brain, not the body.
- Safety First: Recognising the "silent" signs of stress before they escalate.
Give your dog the space to settle and yourself the peace of mind that you’re doing it right. Build the foundation today so you can start the real training tomorrow.

"I found Tanya online and I am so glad I did. I was so unbelievably stressed I wondered if I had done the right thing getting a rescue dog. It's been so much harder than I ever imagined. This took the stress out of it for me as I didn't know what was working and what wasn't. I followed this step by step knowing I was using proven behaviour techniques. Amazingly, when I compare day 1 of the course to day 30, I see SO MUCH positive behaviour changes already. We have an amazing bond. I am not ready to rip my hair out anymore and I know Nellie trusts me. I can't even comprehend the direction we'd have gone if I hadn't done this, got back on track and then had some one to one coaching with Tanya too. I found it just as I considered (embarrassingly) thinking of returning her to the rescue. I definitely recommend this course as a starting point as it totally unscrambled my conflicting thoughts. You can tell it has been done by someone who has so much experience and empathy with rescue dogs"
