What Our Ladies Say...
We totally get it - You don't want to struggle at this, you don't want to fail
We know how hard it is to train a working dog. Moreover, we remember being a new handler, with a young dog just wanting to do it right. We’ve been outside in all weathers, on our own, looking into the eyes of our best friend wondering if we’re doing it right, or if we’re making irreparable mistakes… we know your pain, We’ve felt it too.
The LWDG was created in 2015 by a small group of women wanting to share their challenges and successes. What starting as a few , has now grown to a community of over 3500 female working dog handlers. Come join our community to connect, support & thrive
