SEE THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR DOG’S EYES
ABOUT US
At Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, we believe calmer dogs make happier homes. Our mission is to give every guardian the tools, confidence, and clarity to lead with kindness through the principles of Dog Listening. From our calm, kind Dog Listening courses online — such as What Is Dog Listening?, Become Your Dog’s Best Friend, and There’s No Place Like Home (for rescue dogs) — to an ever-growing collection of specialist courses in development, along with practical downloads, companion course books, and the family-friendly Curious Cat eBook series, everything we create is designed to be accessible, flexible, and rooted in real-life experience.
But this isn’t just about lessons; it’s about transformation. Whether you’re easing the stress of a new rescue, building trust with a lively pup, or simply wanting more peaceful days, our resources show that calm, consistent leadership really works. And if you enjoy a touch of humour along the way, our Blog — written by Russ, Mooby the Cat, and Boxers Charlie and Elsie — brings the learning to life with everyday stories, sharp wit, and plenty of muddy pawprints.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Calm creates connection. Consistency builds trust.
Dogs don’t need constant stimulation or control; they need calm leadership and the freedom to simply be dogs. At Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, we follow the principles of Dog Listening: calm, kind, and consistent guidance that reduces stress, builds trust, and strengthens the bond between humans and dogs.
Our philosophy is simple: calm creates connection, and consistency builds trust. Through our Dog Listening courses online, specialist modules in development, practical downloads, and Mooby the Cat’s witty reflections in the Curious Cat eBook series and Blog, everything we offer is rooted in helping people see the world through their dog’s eyes, and enjoy a more peaceful life together.
HAPPY DOG OWNERS
“We feel as though we’re seeing our relationship with the dogs through a whole new lens, and we believe this will provide a strong foundation to build on. We no longer feel the pressure to take the dogs for so many walks, and we’re more comfortable allowing our sleeping dogs to lie, knowing that a sleeping dog is a happy dog.”
Jacquie Belwood
“I had no idea about some of the things Jess was doing, especially the meaning behind her behaviour. Gaining a deeper understanding has helped me make changes that benefit both Jess and my relationship with her.”
Nikki Thomas
“Understanding the language of a dog and how they perceive things has really helped me appreciate why Chilli might bark, even when nothing is obvious to us. The difference between how humans and dogs interpret situations was eye-opening, especially realising how dogs live ‘in the now,’ without much thought for the past or the future.”
