The music van
A reliable used vehicle, navy and sunset-orange identity, secure equipment storage and a carefully planned dog travel setup. The practical foundation for getting to gigs.
Funding goalOriginal music. A life with dogs. And a travelling first chapter of something bigger.

Music. Dogs. Room to dream.
Explore the plan ↓A little Funky Goblin Town spirit.
I’m Marnie: a British singer-songwriter and the founder of Canine Family Guidance. Music and dogs are both part of the life I’m building.
My songs live somewhere between dark country, folk and blues. My work with dogs begins with observation, understanding and making room for choice.
The Behaviour Box brings those threads into a larger vision: a world of dogs designed from the dog's point of view, with room for people to learn, connect and enjoy their own lives too.
A music van is the first mobile chapter. It would carry instruments and performance equipment, provide a thoughtfully planned way to travel with dogs, and take the story to new audiences.

Funding goalPaid performances, documentary storytelling and canine education introduce the vision. Dog-inclusive appearances would be planned with suitable venues and each dog's needs in mind.
Planned mobile phaseA permanent destination combining behaviour-led experiences, veterinary support, substantial retail and space for music and community.
Long-term vision“Think outside the box.
Don't put your dog in one.”
The full Behaviour Box vision goes beyond the van.
Free entry and self-selected trails, with opt-in activities shaped by each dog's readiness and choice.
An integrated veterinary clinic, access to a veterinary behaviourist and applied behavioural expertise.
A substantial, professionally merchandised store connecting families with useful products and informed guidance.
Swimming, boarding, dining, education and music events within a thoughtfully designed destination.
The Behaviour Box is in development. These are proposed experiences, not services currently open for booking. The van image illustrates the concept and does not depict an owned vehicle or an existing venue.
Music, performances and the dream as it takes shape.
