If you’ve been struggling with behavioural issues with your puppy, older dog or rescue dog, Goodwoof will have the perfect solution for you this May.

Steve Mann
Our new Training and Behaviour Area, will be hosted by highly sought after dog trainer, Steve Mann (author of the Easy Peasy book series and founder of the Insitute of Modern Dog Trainers), along with a team of fellow IMDT experts who will be on hand over the weekend 16 and 17 May.
Steve has been a professional dog trainer and behaviourist for over thirty years and has transformed the lives of over 100,000 dogs during that time. He has a particular expertise on the varied needs of rescue dogs.
The new area will offer a timetable of experts on the Training and Behaviour stage as well as the chance to book 10-minute slots on any training issues that you may have with an individual trainer. Steve says, “This is a great chance for owners to ask us about anything that they’re dealing with – large or small. We have a nationwide network of trainers who will then follow up with owners to see how they’re getting on.”
Talks on the Behaviour and Training Stage will include a Recall Masterclass and a Loose Lead Walking Masterclass.
We can’t wait to also welcome to the stage, the incredible team from Chelsea Canines whose puppy school in Belgravia has helped thousands of puppies to learn essential obedience cues and develop good social skills. Chelsea Canines will be offering talks on the pleasure cycle and why positive reinforcement is pleasurable for dogs, the five enrichment categories and why they’re important for overall wellbeing and puppy training and the social club.
Also joining the programme is Eye In The Sky, a not‑for‑profit team dedicated to finding missing dogs in some of the toughest situations. Founded by Dave Rimmer, the group pairs real‑world search expertise with cutting‑edge tech, including thermal drones and submersible cameras, to support owners when every minute counts. Their talks look at what to do in that crucial first hour after a dog goes missing and shed light on the shift into survival mode — a behaviour change that can surprise even the most experienced owners. It’s practical, reassuring insight designed to help bring lost dogs home safely.
All talks and individual sessions are included in the price of your Goodwoof ticket but the one-to-one opportunities must be pre-booked on the day. Keep an eye on our website for the full timetable, which will be released closer to the event.
Steve’s latest book, ‘Another Day, Another Collar’ will be available in the Goodwoof bookshop.
