Knowledge & Connection Workshops

Learn. Connect. Empower.

Before Terra Nova opens its rescue site, we are starting where it matters most, in the community.
Our Knowledge & Connection Workshops, co-hosted with Magnus_K9’s, are designed to make animal behaviour, care, and communication simple, practical, and accessible for everyone.

These sessions are not about strict obedience or quick fixes, they are about understanding your dog, building trust, and creating calmer, happier relationships.

Why We Do It

At Terra Nova, we believe better education means fewer animals and owners in crisis.
These workshops give people the confidence and knowledge to prevent problems before they start because a little understanding goes a long way.

What to Expect

Small, relaxed group sessions (max 15 people)
Real-world advice from a professional dog trainer and veterinary nurse.
Topics covering body language, confidence, reactivity, enrichment, and everyday wellbeing
No judgement, just honest, hands-on learning

Pricing:

Standard Ticket £15, to join any Knowledge & Connection workshop
Bring a friend, partner, or family member for just £10

Because learning is better with company and everyone deserves access to proper pet care knowledge.
