Paula is brilliant. So much knowledge and advise for our excitable rescue lab. Was amazed when Paula got her on the long lead and working on recall. Was amazing to see and had a very tired pooch at the end! Will continue with Paula and also do some doggie socialising too. Thank you! More...

We booked Paula O'connor for the 2 hour puppy dog training. It was definitely worth it as we learnt so much from the session. It's not only practical, but very informative especially for new dog owners like ourselves. We covered the basic obedience skills and ended up taking Lola for a walk together. Would thoroughly recommend 👍👍 More...

Paula has been a great help to me & my bananas pup Reggie. I definitely asked lots of questions to help with my training with Reg & Paula answered every single one for me, very knowledgeable & sent me some good items to help stimulate his mind when leaving him at home & also to help with recall on walks. Will be using Paula again for sure & 100% would recommend 🙌🏻👌🏻 More...

Paula Is just lovely! I asked her to join me and my husband for help with walking after our rehomed pug has become so much more reactive on the lead since getting our puppy boxer. We’d been working on it ourselves but I wanted to the reassurance that we was training correctly.
Paula brought her two frenchies who are just a dream to work with and two beautiful examples of how dogs can behave. This reassured me we was with the correct person after all she’s going to practice what she Preaches.
We will be be working on what we learnt ourselves but will definitely have Paula back if we feel the extra helping hand is needed. Was definitely nice knowing we are not alone In issues like this.

Price range she is incredibly affordable compering to others, which definitely not mean that you get less. She is just normal person who understands that people can't always pay a lot for a dog. Overall highly recommended. ❤️❤️ More...

Paula came home to help us with Stanley and Axyls pulling on lead when they are together. She recommended a harness and let us try one on both of them and it worked. She also gave us some suggestions for calming Stanley which we will try. She was patient and listened to what we hoped to achieve and came up with some good pointers.

Myself and my saluki x lurcher had the pleasure of meeting Paula today and her lovely little helper, Winston. I’ve been stressing over my Dilly, who has been dog reactive for around 14 months. She is also a real puller. So Paula and Winston came today, and absolutely won us over. Her knowledge and techniques worked like a dream, and I feel like a massive weight has been lifted. I feel now that I have such an arsenal of information, all of which is simple, but brilliant. And everything Paula explained to me made perfect sense. I recommend Paula to absolutely everyone who needs a dog behaviourist/trainer. She is brilliant and knows exactly what she’s talking about. Thanks again Paula, for the first time in months I actually feel relaxed!!! More...

Paula came to meet our 11 week old French Bulldog, Murphy along with Winston, her own pet which was a good introduction to another dog. She worked wonders and we have already seen an improvement in Murphy's behaviour and she gave us some great hints and tips for our puppy training. We felt much more confident ourselves knowing that what we were already doing was correct. We will definitely be having another meeting with Paula. Really impressed with her knowledge of training and nutrition and especially her knowledge of French Bulldogs. It was a delightful 2 hours spent that has put us in good stead going forward.

We had this lovely lady come to our home to help us with our really very unruly beagle Otis.
She was calm and took her time to meet and watch him all whilst watching and listening to us. Within a short space of time it was clear that there was ready an understanding between Otis and his now new best friend that we had been unable to acquire.
With the deepest thanks and much hard work we were able to apply all the hints and tricks taught to us within these few hours and we now have as a family a much calmer and more compliant dog.
Always on hand to offer more help if we needed it I can not thank Paula enough. Highly recommend

We have a 10 week old Doberman puppy; when we were looking to bring him home we never knew it would be in the middle of a pandemic. I wanted some help and advice on the most effective ways of training him from home and how to best ensure he does not develop separation anxiety for when I am able to return to work. I was very nervous, as although we have had family dogs I have never fully owned and had to care for my own. Paula was brilliant! We have a video skype call, which was a first for both of us and I showed her what we had done so far with training, we discussed Cerb and the best way that we can work on ensuring he is the best dog he can be! I was very nervous when speaking to Paula and not very confident in my own abilities, but after speaking with her I felt so much more confident! She has since sent me some links and information to look over and is happy for me to contact her anytime with any problems. I would recommend Paula to anyone and everyone! Thank you Paula! More...

I had Paula come and see my 13 month old tri bulldog, I mainly wanted him to be able to respond better to commands and be able control him better when he has his mad moments.
Paula was fantastic she was very patient with him and gave me some great hints and tips which I think will make a big difference. She also checked his food and asked lots of questions to understand the dog. She was very easy to talk to and would 100% recommend to anyone that needs a little bit of advice.
