BiG Mutt HuB
A Supportive
Membership
and Training
for Owners
of BIG dogs
Welcome To The BiG Mutt HuB!
Owning a big dog is a unique experience, comes with its own set of big challenges and needs. Owning a large dog can leave you exposed to judgement by society merely because of their size and as owners we are often hyper aware of our dog's behaviour in public. We don't want to worry people and owners with smaller dogs, yet give our big dogs all the freedoms their smaller cousins enjoy.
I'm Kara, an experienced dog trainer and behaviourist who is also guardian to several 'Big Mutts' (as we say in West Scotland). I have founded the "Big Mutt Hub" to help you understand your dog, build or improve that connection all while being be part of our unique family of big dog owners. Read on to find out all about it 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Is YoUr BiG DoG...
...behaving badly or is merely a boisterous bundle of fluff?
Understanding that your dog is not 'bad', it gets tiring to struggle with a big dog that is over-aroused and doesn't seem to listen. I help you build that connection and engagement, so your dog begins to listen.
...appear out of control but is just a big sensitive soul?
When big dogs are out of control, they can be difficult to manage. Larger breeds require proper training and correct socialisation and I can help so they become well-behaved, balanced, and well-adjusted companions.
...a young pup who will grow into a big dog?
Starting a young dog off on the right paws is very important for one that grows into an imposing presence. Helping with early training of your big pup can ensure they grow into a well balanced, happy individual.
...a rescue dog with past trauma, anxiety or low confidence?
Rebuilding trust or confidence in dogs with an unknown history can be worrying. I have proven techniques for rescues suffering anxiety or showing destructive and/or aggressive behaviour due to insecurities.

About Kara
Based in West Scotland, I have helped all types of dogs (including rescue dogs from abroad) become less fearful and anxious and more calm, settled, and confident for over 12 years. Working with dogs is not a job or career, it is my passion.
Although I work on a range of issues, I have specialised in working with big, reactive dogs and building up their confidence levels and high drive dogs who become hypervigilant or overaroused by the external environment. I believe in channeling the dogs natural drive into their learning in order for them to be fully calm, focused and confident.
My method is to give dogs choices in learning which can help improve their mental state. I value education and continue my professional development by completing seminars and courses which only use force free techniques and provide proven results. I ensure I am kept up to date by attending at least 4 courses per year plus webinars and video studies. I am also currently completing a Level 5 Advanced Diploma as CPD. I am fully ensured to work as dog behaviourist and trainer.
Building a Big Dog training hub with community has been a dream of mine. It allows me to help so many more dogs and their owners while supporting one another. Read what my clients say about my training methods that you will learn and practice inside the Big Mutt Hub membership: Google Reviews
