About Us

Woofing Wild (previously Mental Mutts) was set up in 2018 by Elsa after experiencing first hand the lack of understanding for dogs especially ones with complex emotions for example reactivity. We started as a dog walking service, than branched into behaviour and training within 2020. We have since expanded our knowledge to provide a variety of services including holistic complementary therapies such as nutritional consults, herbal selections and reiki.

Our mission is to help owners of reactive dogs connect in a compassionate way with their dogs so that the can live and thrive together. 

We only use effective, scientifically proven force free training techniques and we stay up to date with the most up to date methods as well as always ensure we are expanding our continued professional development. I promise to never hurt, implement fear or scare your dog in the name of training

Since starting in 2018, we have helped over 500 reactive dogs and owners live a life of freedom away from avoidance. We believe in training for real life!
