All lucky members who have already taken a course at Citydogs automatically become part of our Social Walks group. Here our members meet for informal, fun and educational walks. These relaxed meetings in nature are a lot of fun for your dog, because he can see his friends from the course again. And for you, a great opportunity to share experiences, tips and tricks with other dog owners. These group walks are organized independently and spontaneously by members via the shared Citydogs social media channels.
Noëlle regularly participates in these social walks on special days. These walks are then the perfect moment to ask Noëlle all the questions that have arisen after the course on an everyday walk in the great outdoors. And ideal to refresh knowledge and learn new things. On these special days the Social Walk costs, otherwise it is of course free of charge.

Wordless communication with your dog
Walking Meditation
The daily walk in the nature is the most beautiful time for our dogs. The goal of this course is to make this time also for us humans in such a way that we can refuel inwardly and strengthen our heart connection with our dogs. The content includes breathing techniques that have been tried and tested since time immemorial to help us find our center during walks. Visualization exercises and stillness in which we connect in our hearts with our dogs, building valuable, deep communication. Practice makes perfect. Don't miss this class full of magic and love. This is a form of meditation with our dogs in nature, which is unique and creates an inner deep relaxation and joy, which is very healing and can then be carried into everyday life.

Communicate with your dog in a whole new way
Dog Talk - Online Course
Is your dog not listening no matter how much others encourage you bark orders at it?
Has the conventional, punishment-driven dog training left you feeling drained?
Would you like to build a relationship with your companion that is based on love instead of obedience?
This introduction to animal communication will help transform you into the kind of dog lover and dog leader that your companion can bond with deeply. Most dog behaviour advice encourages you to control your dog, to treat them as a pet instead of a family member. Do you like to be controlled? Neither does your dog.
Instead of fixing bad behaviour by teaching your dog to be fearful and obedient, I will teach you to engage in heartfelt communication based on mutual understanding.
The Citydogs School Animal Communication course will introduce you to a new way of building an emotional and spiritual relationship with your dog based on mutual understanding.
Every dog which has experienced some trauma will feel unsafe or insecure.
Maybe her back muscles jerk whenever you touch her, even though she is totally relaxed?
Maybe he barks or growls at other family members, unsure of whether they are friend or foe.
Your presence plays an enormous part in restoring a sense of calm and peaceful surrender in your dog’s heart, allowing them to feel safe and relaxed in your presence.
What you'll learn
- The Fundamentals of Animal Communication — Talking to your Dog Heart to Heart
- Believe in Yourself — Mental and Emotional Mastery to Become Your Dog's Natural Leader
- Knowledge is Power — Understanding your Dog's Basic Needs and Unique Nature
- Animal Communication Meditation — Experience Confident Leadership and Calm Centeredness
- 6 entertaining online lessons
