f you work with puppies, you WILL be asked about biting. 🐶🦷

“Is this normal?”

“Should I be stopping it?”

“Does this mean my puppy is going to be aggressive?”

And, of course, the advice we’ve heard for years:

“Puppies need to learn bite inhibition while they’re young.”

But what if the research tells us something different?

I set out to investigate this widely accepted theory and her findings may completely change the way you think about puppy biting.

Inside Puppy Biting & Bite Inhibition, for Professionals, Sarah takes you through her ground-breaking research, latest thinking, video evidence and discussion around what this could mean for the advice we give puppy owners.

If you’re a trainer or behaviourist, this is one of those courses that gets you questioning what you’ve always been taught and looking at puppy behaviour through a completely different lens.

🐾 5 lessons
🐾 1.5 hours of video content
🐾 Just £35

Because our clients deserve advice based on what we know NOW not simply what we’ve always been told.

What if something we’ve been teaching puppy owners for YEARS… isn’t quite what we thought? 👀

We’ve long been told that puppies need to learn bite inhibition at an early age in order to become safe adult dogs.

It’s one of those theories that’s become so widely accepted, we rarely stop to question it.

But Sarah Whitehead did.

She set out to investigate the theory and what she discovered might genuinely surprise you.

🐶 Puppy Biting & Bite Inhibition, for Professionals is a 1.5-hour course exploring Sarah’s latest thinking alongside her ground-breaking research, video evidence and discussion.

If you work with puppies and their owners, this is knowledge that could completely change the way you think about puppy biting and the advice you give your clients.

My 1:1 mentoring spaces are open...and I genuinely cannot wait to get stuck into some businesses.

Because no two people come to me needing the same thing.

One person needs help untangling their offers and creating a business plan that actually makes sense.

Another needs to sort their pricing and finally feel confident charging what they’re worth.

Someone else has a tricky client situation they need another experienced pair of eyes on.

And sometimes? You already KNOW what you need to do, you just need someone in your corner to help you trust yourself and actually bloody do it.

That’s why my 1:1 mentoring is completely bespoke.

No rigid framework. No cookie-cutter plan.

We look at where you are, what’s getting in the way and what would make the biggest difference to your business right now.

You can book a one-off mentoring session when you need my brain on something specific, or work with me over three months for deeper support, strategy and accountability.

I bloody love watching someone leave our calls with that “RIGHT. I know exactly what I’m doing now” energy. 🔥

And my 1:1 mentoring spaces are open.

If you’ve been thinking you could do with someone in your corner, message me MENTOR and let’s chat about what you need. ❤️

You probably don’t know this exists…

And honestly? That’s the problem.

The PRO-Level Membership has been quietly sitting in the background.

At £295 per year, you get access to my entire core training library, courses that would cost £1,700+ if purchased individually.

A price increase is planned (around £395), but here’s the part most people miss:
👉 if you join now, your auto-renew locks you in at the lower rate.

If you’ve been circling my work for a while, this is the quiet moment to step in.

If you love learning more about dogs, understanding their behaviour, and picking up small insights that make a big difference, ourweekly Saturday email is one you’ll want in your inbox.

Each week I share thoughtful reflections, practical knowledge, and fascinating observations from the world of dogs, the kind of content that leaves you seeing your own dog just a little differently. It’s informative, relatable, and written in a way that makes complex ideas easy to understand.

“I have always looked forward to Sarah’s weekly Saturday emails as I find them so informative, well written and relatable. I was then thrilled to be able to do the free Dog Watch course and found it fascinating and so informative. I thought I was quite well versed in reading dog body language but this course clearly pointed out things I had missed. Highly recommended, so educational, well explained and put together. Sarah is exceptional at teaching and explaining concepts.” - Alyson Kingsley-Hall

If you’d like thoughtful dog insights delivered to your inbox each week, make sure you’re on the email list. 🐾

Ever watched a dog get calmer, more confident, more settled... and then still do the exact same behaviour, out of nowhere?

That`s the bit that confuses people most. The emotion has shifted, but the pattern hasn`t caught up yet. It`s not fear talking anymore,it`s just repetition on autopilot.

And honestly? We do it too. Ever flinched at something that can`t actually hurt you anymore, just because you`ve flinched at it a hundred times before?

In Force of Habit, I`m digging into exactly this, how a behaviour can outlive the feeling that started it, why that trips up even experienced owners and trainers, and how to tell the difference between "still scared" and "still rehearsing."

Free to join for a limited time, usually £95.

"Sarah, thank you! You`re the ultimate pro in combining story-telling with science... I loved this webinar and could rewatch again and again for insights into helping clients."

That`s what one lovely soul said after joining Force of Habit,and honestly, comments like that are why I love doing what I do.

If you`ve ever had a dog "recover" from something, only to keep repeating the exact same behaviour... this webinar is for you.

That`s habit at work. Not emotion anymore, just a pattern that`s run so many times it`s become automatic. And here`s the thing, it happens to us too.

In Force of Habit, I`m unpacking how habits form (in dogs and in us), why they`re so hard to shift, and how to spot when a behaviour has stopped being about feelings and started being about repetition.

Mentoring spaces opening soon, and I couldn`t be more excited.

Every person I`ve mentored has walked away with something different: a clearer business plan, a solved case, a pricing structure that finally works, or simply the confidence to trust themselves again.

That`s the part I love most, watching people take what we talk about and actually run with it.

Sessions are completely bespoke. A one-off chat or a three-month programme, whatever fits where you`re at right now.

Message me and let`s talk about what would help you most.

Most dog owners aren`t failing their dogs. They just haven`t been shown how dogs actually learn.

The barking.
The pulling.
The jumping up.

The moments that leave you thinking, "why on earth are they doing that?"
Once you understand what`s really driving the behaviour, everything shifts.

That`s exactly why our email community exists.

Inside, you`ll get:
🐾 Behaviour insights that finally make sense
🐾 Practical tips you can put into action straight away
🐾 Kind, judgement-free support
🐾 A clearer picture of what your dog is actually trying to tell you

Because training was never about control.

It`s about understanding.

And the more you understand, the more trust grows.

Less frustration. More confidence. A stronger bond with the dog by your side.
Ready to see your dog differently?

Mentoring spaces opening soon, and I couldn't be more excited.

Every single person I've mentored has walked away with something different: a clearer business plan, a solved case, a pricing structure that actually works, or just the confidence to trust themselves again.

That's the bit I love most, seeing people take what we talk about and run with it.

Sessions are completely bespoke. One-off chat or a three-month programme, whatever suits where you're at right now.

Message me and let's talk about what would help you most.

Exciting news!!

I`ve got a couple of 1-1 mentoring spaces opening up soon!I genuinely love this work.

Watching people gain confidence, grow their businesses, and change the lives of the dogs (and humans!) in front of them, it doesn`t get better than that.

Mentoring is always bespoke to you, whether that`s one session to talk something through, or a full three-month programme to work through business strategy, pricing, or case support together.

It might be helpful if you`re looking for:

🐾 Support with a tricky behaviour/training case
💡 A sounding board for a new idea or project
📈 Help with pricing, business development, and growth (without burning yourself out)
🌱 Guidance on getting started in this field
💪 A confidence boost with your methods and practice

Send me a message if you`d like to chat about what mentoring could look like for you.

Most people spend years learning about dogs.

Very few spend time actually learning FROM them.

And that’s the difference.

Because dog behaviour isn’t something you truly understand from a book, a webinar, or a social media post.

You understand it when you’re standing in front of a real dog.

A dog with fears.
A dog with emotions.
A dog with a history.
A dog who hasn’t read the training manual.

That’s when the magic happens.

🐾 You start seeing what others miss.
🐾 You learn to read body language in real time.
🐾 You stop guessing and start understanding.
🐾 You build confidence that no online course can give you.

At ThinkDog! Practical, you’ll spend two incredible days working hands-on with rescue dogs at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Not watching.

Not observing.

Doing.

Because the best dog trainers, behaviourists and guardians aren’t the people who know the most theory.

They’re the people who know how to listen to the dog in front of them.

📍 Old Windsor
📅 30–31 July 2026
💰 £695

Places are limited.

And every single dog you’ll meet has something to teach you.
