Welcome to Sarah Whitehead's Inner Circle

The UK’s brilliant online CPD platform from Sarah Whitehead, bringing together and supporting trainers, behaviourists and canine professionals to be the very best they can be. We’re all about collaboration, not competition.

The one biggest challenge facing every trainer and behaviourist is…

…staying up-to-date in your behavioural and training knowledge without having to spend a fortune or taking days out of your already busy schedule to attend more courses. (Plus, of course, the confidence-building that goes with the reassurance that you are getting it right!)

Well, great news; you’re a step away from joining Sarah and her community of like-minded trainers, behaviourists and aspiring canine professionals by uncovering inspirational knowledge and insight on dog behaviour and training – every month.

As a member you get unlimited access to “The Vault”, an online library of all-things dog, so that when you want to dive into a new topic, look up an issue you may not have come across before or just escape for a while, it’s there for you – no matter what level you are at.

If you have an unquenchable thirst to discover more, progress further and be ahead of the curve, Sarah Whitehead’s Inner Circle is perfect for you.

Dive into a monthly mix of:

Q&A Sessions

Research Discoveries

Videos & Webinars

Audio Seminars

Discussion Articles

Owner Guides

Why our members love being in the Inner Circle:

I listen to the audio guides in the car and read the research articles on the train. I know it's funny but I'll often watch one of Sarah's latest webinars whilst everyone else is watching Netflix!

I am a huge ambassador of Sarah's programmes; her knowledge and experience is incomparable to others in our industry. Being an experienced trainer myself, I have learned more than I could have possibly imagined from attending Sarah’s workshops, courses and webinars.

When I found out about Inner Circle, I immediately jumped on it; all this expertise on dog behaviour and communication delivered on a monthly basis? It was a no-brainer for me.

I love the Inner Circle. Sarah’s tips, videos and general attitude to training and behaviour are unbelievably refreshing and smart. I always click on Sarah’s emails as they get into my inbox, however busy I am at the time.

We cannot afford to miss out on any knowledge Sarah is ready to share with us. The concept is fantastic and I’m so excited to see where it leads us.

Often when you attend the course you get what the instructor wants to deliver. With Inner Circle, I can find what I need, when I need it.

I was really excited when Sarah mentioned the possibility of the Inner Circle at her Separation Anxiety course (also a brilliant course, and excellent cake!).

The vault is full of interesting articles and really useful practical information, like work sheets and handouts for clients. The vault is already full of great stuff and every month I've found that the 3 extras that are added are really useful, and I'm looking forward to next month already!

There's no heavy time commitment - I like that I can dip in and out

Sarah's owner guides and handouts have saved me mind-numbing hours of creating my own! Thank you!

I have spent many years building my behavioural and training business and I find Sarah’s ideas, theories and practical suggestions an essential part of my ongoing professional development.

The Inner Circle is just what I need; a chance to keep ahead of the game, get inspiration and new thoughts on so many aspects of training and behaviour – and all from the comfort of my own computer! I can’t wait for next month!

Sarah often shares her own recommended reading or discusses how theories work - or don't! - in practice. I think this is really generous and saves me a lot of time.

Sarah often treads where others don't, she challenges 'accepted' norms, and her 'myth-busting' style is both enlightening and entertaining.

As a Veterinary Nurse (as well as a behaviour specialist and positive reinforcement trainer) I am delighted to be a member of Sarah Whitehead's Inner Circle.

The continuous stream of discoveries and educational material delivered in both video and written format is invaluable to me, as it’ll aid my constant pursuit of acquiring fresh, up to date knowledge that I can then transfer on to my patients and behavioural clients.

I’m very excited about being part of the inner circle. With the continuous stream of educational material, fresh up to date knowledge.

I particularly love the videos to watch all in the comfort of my own home. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

I am loving it! The range is fantastic from those who want a really scientific read to those who are interested on a pet level.

I can't wait for the next release. Since attending the seminar in Newcastle I have learnt so much and my list of new things to research is growing all the time. Thank you Sarah 🙂

I have enjoyed the Inner Circle so far. It's been great being able to just dip into the articles in the vault when I have a cup of tea on my lap.

I also have used it when I have a particular 'bee in my bonnet' about an aspect of training and behaviour that I want to investigate further...

It is wonderful to feel part of a community (do cat people say that, ever?) where we all share common education, knowledge, ideas and ethics
