Couldn’t recommend Diamond Pet Services & Paula enough.. we have both learnt so much in our 6 weeks Puppy Training class. We have enjoyed it so much (especially Sully) . It’s been great for socialising with other dogs whilst learning to make our pup a clever, good dog! Will definitely be coming back in the New Year to join the other training classes. You can see how much Paula loves animals and genuinely wants to help and teach.. and the dogs can see this too as they adore her Thank you so much xxx More...

My border collie Dexter has been on two walks with Paula now and he’s loved it! He sits by the door waiting to go for a walk which he has never done! He came back tired from his walk which was very impressive considering he’s normally non stop! I wouldn’t trust anyone else but Paula to take my dog out, he will 100% be going on more walks with her. Thank you so much Paula! More...

Charlie adores Paula and absolutely loves his training sessions with her. Paula is an excellent trainer and is very passionate about what she does. She offers lots of support and advice on any issues you may have with your dog and there is always an alternative if something isn’t working for you. The key to great training is teach the owners what to do and then practice, practice, practice. Paula makes the sessions mentally and physically challenging but always full of fun, Charlie is usually asleep in the car before we even get home. I can’t recommend these training sessions highly enough More...

Thought it was time for a review. I have been taking my rescue dog to paula diamond dog training for 8 weeks now and we love it. Paula is so kind, patient and genuinely cares about all of the dogs. We learn loads in our classes but you do need to go home and practice, practice, practice. This is the key to success with the dogs. Paula gives us the tools to ensure we have well behaved dogs. It is also great fun, the dogs are so excited to go and also enjoy learning in a stress free environment. If your dog struggles or if they can do the task she will adapt it so everyone is able to achieve something. Keep up the good work and thank you. Love Jason and Vicki x More...

We have a Frenchie who was unfortunately attacked which really knocked his confidence, Paula has worked with us doing one to one sessions for our boy to bring on his self esteem. Literally cannot thank her enough as he has grown in confidence and flourished with her expert help and enthusiasm! Now everyone else gets to see the beautiful happy little dog we once had! He’s gone back to being a happy playful less stressed dog on his walks and has even had a play on his lead today for the first time in over a year!! We cannot begin to thank and recommend her enough to anyone with any dog worries and troubles! An awesome lady with a passion for her job! Thank you immensely, Reggie will always be very thankful!!! ☺️ More...

I've gleaned a great deal from talking with Paula. Paula's understanding, compassion and genuine gift with our canine companions is refreshing and enlightening. I deeply admire Paula's drive and ambition to do the very best for every hound that comes under her care and training. Paula's desire to maintain high standards in canine training and care drives her forward . I have gained insight from Paula that has proved invaluable. My Jack Russell and I cannot thank Paula enough. You have a true gift, calling and heart of gold. My very best wishes, thanks and admiration. Craig More...

I dont think ive ever met a more passionate doggy person in my life. She is not just a dog walker - she has extensive experience in behaviour issues and training too. I can guarantee that if your using this service, your getting waaaay more than you pay for. The proof is in the pudding, look at the amount of wonderful reviews she has and take a look at the pictures she takes - I honestly didn't know it was possible for dogs to grin - but Paula manages to do just that. Highly recommended. More...

Paula is amazing with dogs treats them all as they are her own. She is more than a general dog walking service as she has a wealth of experience with all dogs but also has a great understanding of reactive dogs and always works to bring out the best in each and every dog and her aim is that they enjoy their time out to the max!. I do not hesitate to reccomend.

I met Paula and grilled her for over two hours before I let her look after my girls.I have a nervous Romanian rescue dog and she arranged in her own time without pay to come see her again before she had total charge of them.
She’s amazing, kind,caring,knowledgeable, totally reliable and an all round professional person.

When Paula came to meet me and my black lab she was very friendly and genuinely had a real love of dogs. I asked a few other dog walkers to see which we preferred. Paula was definitely the one! Unfortunately she was ill soon after starting to walk Bart, but still called round to let him out for a wee and messaged me to let me know.
I have seen pics on the website and I can see when she arrives for a walk he is excited. On return he is rubbed down with a towel and calmer. Paula has messaged to let me know how he is getting on and I feel confident he is safe, well looked after and she would contact me with any issues. I would certainly recommend Diamond to anyone needing a dog walker.

Q&As

There are multiple reasons why I love my job:
1. There is nothing more fulfilling than a dog who has had issues with trust or fear, responding to you. Knowing that you are gaining the trust of a fearful dog is quite simply one of the best feelings in the world.
2. Spending time with animals makes me smile more than anything else.
3. Learning about the personalities of each pet that I meet. Every animal is individual and seeing their character's grow as they become more familiar with you warms my heart.
4. The outdoors! What could be better than working outside with lots of four legged friends!
5. One of my customers went away for a weekend with her daughter whilst I cared for her dogs. Her dogs are her absolute babies. On return, she told me that for the first time she had been able to fully relax and enjoy her time with her daughter knowing that her dogs were in safe hands.

I grew up having pets at home, a dog, budgies, fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, and also had riding lessons as a teenager. I have always been an animal lover however chose a career in Social Work from the age of 25 until very recently. I have owned my own horses and rescue cats for the last 15 years though I was very much missing having opportunity to spend time with dogs. I began volunteering as a dog walker for a charity named Homeless Hounds. The charity takes on stray, abandoned and abused dogs , and finds them their forever homes. My involvement with the charity increased to include fundraising and involvement with rehoming and adoptions as well as walking. The time that I spent with the dogs, building relationships with mistrusting dogs and helping them on their way to their forever homes helped me to see that this was me at my happiest. The rescue dogs inspired me to take a change of direction and although I am proud of my achievements over the last 11 years in Social Work, my passion for pets is where my heart truly lies.

My animals are my world, and I treat every pet in my care as I would my own.
I am honest, trustworthy, reliable and responsible. I am dedicated to providing an excellent service and I genuinely care about animals and their wellbeing.
