Animal Centred Education courses are designed to add more layers to your existing skills as an animal guardian and animal educator, whilst connecting with the attending animals at their own pace.
Online ACE courses such as the ACE Dog Detective course taught by Sarah Fisher are an excellent way to start your ACE learning as this course focuses on detailed observations and ACE Free Work.
ACE Modules One to Five are part of the ACE Training Programme and are taught in two parts. Part one is online and part two is either an in-person practical workshop at Tilley Farm, or online with ACE Instructor Sarah Whiffen in a small group for those who cannot attend the workshop at Tilley Farm.
Our ACE Modules are open to anyone who would like to add ACE techniques to their existing skills, are looking to support the animals in their care, or wish to become a certified ACE Trainer or ACE Practitioner. The course content that accompanies the online element is intended only as a guide; as ACE events are animal centred it may not be appropriate to include all the elements for every animal that participates in the ACE modules and workshops.

Comfort expands, discomfort restricts; low impact experiences on and off the lead help to improve balance and posture enabling dogs and horses to release habitual behaviour and movement patterns. An animal that has fluid, flexible and efficient movement is able to settle more quickly in novel situations and recover more quickly if something does excite or worry him/her.
The more you practice observing animals, and the more relaxed the animal becomes, the more you will see. As you increase your skills the easier it will be to identify and modify the smallest threads that weave together to create the more obvious movement and behaviour patterns.
