Competitive Obedience is just for collies, right?
Wrong! I help owners of all breeds of dogs, prepare themselves and their dogs to compete in competitive obedience through my K9 Sports Performance Coaching.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking for ways to fine tune your skills, our competitive obedience coaching will help you showcase all of your hard work at a competitive level.
121 Competitive Obedience coaching is the ultimate support for you and your dog covering all things competitive obedience from Introductory to Championship.
Have you ever…
- Thought your dog has potential but are unsure of how to bring it out.
- Felt drawn to competitive obedience but are unsure of where to start?
- Been told directly or indirectly, that your breed of dog isn’t the right breed for this sport?
- Felt tired of all the conflicting advice and just want to know what actually works.
Here’s how I can help you and your dog.
Because I’m a Training Consultant, Executive Coach, and Master Coach Trainer, it’s a natural step to now be able to offer K9 High Performance Sports Coaching to help handlers at all levels, with any breed, improve both the mental and the physical side of their own and their dogs performance, and you will receive coaching and training that is:
- professional (using my 17 years of professional experience before 2007, plus my extensive coaching and dog training experience since then).practical (so you can use it to get the results you want.
- practical (so you can use it to get the results you want.
- personal (I take a keen interest in you and your dog and I am available to you on WhatsApp before during, and after your lesson).
- perceptive (I quickly spot what’s working and what’s getting in your or your dog’s way).
Using positive, reward based training methods, Wygulmut K9 Sports Performance Coaching specialises in working with owners of any working bred dog or crossbreed, who want to take part in a competitive sport with their dogs and are frustrated at not knowing where to start. Through our specialist 121 coaching we help owners of working breeds prepare to showcase their keen dogs and put their skills to the test, with online support in between sessions so you never feel stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed trying to figure it all out on your own.
This is for you if:
- You’re drawn to competitive obedience but feel unsure where to start or how to progress.
- You want to train with clarity, kindness, and fun, not pressure or force.
- You care about building real understanding and partnership not just getting through the exercises.
- You’ve already got an understanding of basic obedience training.
- You want your dog to be engaged, confident, and enjoying the work, not just being ‘obedient’.
- You’re willing to learn and develop your own skills alongside your dog, and put the work in between sessions.
- You have a breed that isn’t typically seen at the top…and you’d secretly like to change that.

ABOUT ANGELA WATSON
K9 Sports Performance Coach
I’ve been involved with competitive dog sports since 2011, and I travel the country competing with my golden retrievers at the top level, which keeps me at the cutting edge of performance so that I can really help you.
So it’s a natural step to now be able to offer High Performance Sports Coaching to help handlers at all levels, with any breed, improve both the mental and the physical side of their own and their dogs performance.
My golden retrievers consistently outperform traditional sport breeds. Each one has made me learn and find new ways. My youngest, Berty (Hanans Golden Liberty @ Wygulmut) qualified for the Royal Kennel Club Obedience Championships after only 3 years of competing. Living proof that any breed of dog trained with positive reinforcement can succeed at the very top.
This journey became the foundation for my K9 Sports Performance Coaching.
A new approach to help you get started on your competitive obedience journey and prepare you and your dog for showcasing your ability at a competitive level.
If you haven’t yet dipped your toe into the world of competitive obedience, you should try it. Jump in the water’s lovely.
If you are looking for domestic ‘pet’ obedience training or a professional behaviourist, I am not the right fit. If you are looking for an active obedience competitor with real experience who will be in your corner and guide you through the journey, I am.
What’s my mission? To train my dogs with kindness, clarity, and fun, and help others do the same.
Where to go next:
Confidence Workshop: a confidence building workshop for dog sport competitors, designed for handlers who want greater clarity, connection, and composure in the ring. Available for clubs and organised training groups.
Handler Coaching: for confidence, mindset, and life skills outside the ring. You can work with me for highly personalised support and transformational coaching. A Discovery Call is often the place to start. Book a call through the Contact tab.
Enjoy the ride.
If you’re new to my page it’s more than just dog training and competing. I’m on a mission to show that anything is possible when you fully commit. Read about the life-changing turning point, which started all this.
