The Paw Club currently offers one to one puppy training in the comfort of your back garden. I can safely work with you and your puppy at a distance. The first few months that you have your new puppy are so crucial, its so important to set out the house rules and to give your dog basic obedience training and to also socialise them correctly. The Paw Club also offers weekly puppy training courses for puppies aged 12 to 20 weeks in Curdworth, Sutton Coldfield.

Haven't actually used the service as such yet but contacted Anne as I thought I was going to need a pet sitter this coming September. Told her all of my requirements and she worked out a schedule whereby she was going to come to my home each day to walk our dog, give him medication and company. She was going to come and visit us so that we could walk Paddy and they could get to know each other. My son then found out that he could have the same week off as us so he can be at home and give Paddy 24 hour care. I felt really bad telling Anne that we now don't need her but she has been so lovely about it. I will definitely be in touch with her again if I need any cover for Paddy. She is a very lovely lady.

Can’t recommend Amy and the team highly enough. Nothing prepared us for the difference between our 6year old golden Labrador (Luna) and the newest edition to our family, our black Labrador puppy (lily). We were worried that Luna wouldn’t cope or tell Lily off but with Amy’s expertise and kindness we were give the skill and support to make changes to how we trained Lily!!! We aren’t there yet as lily is only 18 weeks old but we’ve managed two holidays away in our caravan without being thrown off site (lol) and are soooo impressed with Lily ability to be trained. Hard work but have felt so supported knowing Amy and the gang there again if we need them. Thank you sooo much from us but mainly Luna and Lily

Keith was recommended to me when I first moved to Harpenden. I was looking for a dog walker who was used to working with large breeds that had been rescued and had some behavioural issues. Keith was perfect. He immediately built up a rapport with Charlie - being firm with him but extremely caring. Charlie would bound out of the house every time Keith came to collect him. Keith was also wonderful in offering me advice and guidance on how to improve Charlie's behaviour. I really couldn't rate him highly enough and Charlie and I were really sad when he moved to Sutton Coldfield. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker or trainer. You won't find anyone better.

I was born into a family of animal lovers and brought up in my auntie's rescue, surrounded by every animal I could imagine. Over the years growing up I have been involved in hand rearing puppies/kittens/lambs and even a squirrel once, walking and training rescue dogs, fostering cats and dogs alongside owning my own dogs, cats and ponies. My passion for rescue animals drove me further into exploring different training methods and the psychology behind the different species, I wanted to gain more understanding so I could comfort them when they looked so totally baffled by the new situation they had found theirselves in and reacted out of fear and anxiety.

Think this place is an amazing idea!! Our dog has been twice now and we intend to make it a regular occurrence. The staff are lovely and security is definitely a priority which is really reassuring for a pet owner. Very disappointing to see negative comments from people slamming a small start up business in today's market, it's 100% their choice how they want to run their Business.
Regardless its really great to see people who are so passionate about dogs. Love the idea and only hope it gets more popular!!

Shannon is fantastic. She has been walking dogs of ours for 4 years now and is always reliable and brings our dog back exhausted! We have used Shannon for some training and for boarding too, and would highly recommend to anyone. She is clearly passionate about the animals, and it shows. Thanks Shannon xx

Vicky has trained several dogs for me and she is outstanding. I have had Labs, Retrievers and a Newfoundland... all different, all with different training needs. I am constantly complimented on how well behaved my dogs are. Their recall is perfect and they have lovely manners, all down to Vicky! I have also recommended her to friends. Every dog, without fail, has been transformed and my friends have all been thrilled. I don’t normally write reviews etc., but I really want to recommend Vicky because there is nothing more sad than poorly trained dogs who give their owners no joy.

Why should I get a Dog Trainer?
Making sure your pup is trained properly really matters. Without the necessary groundwork, you’re risking your dog’s wellness and security, as well as the safety of any other dogs it comes into contact with. It’s also important your dog is trained so that it can integrate properly with you and your family. Keeping it out of trouble will save you a lot of hassle (and potentially costly repairs too).
Making sure your dog listens to commands is very important. Not only will handling it be less stressful, but it can stop dangerous conflict with other animals. Furthermore, if your dog doesn’t want to listen to you, situations such as dealing with traffic can potentially become fatal. On the upside, having a well-trained pup enables you and your pet to socialise properly with other dogs and their owners.
Having a dog that is obedient means that life around the home becomes plain sailing. With good manners, your dog will be able to tell the difference between right and wrong behaviour, while being able to foster good relationships with other members of your family. These connections can help to build a fruitful relationship with your pet as part of the family. Time well spent together will allow you to both grow together, sharing experiences and creating the type of memories that make having a pet so worth it.
How about becoming an authority figure yourself? Although your trainer will help your dog get up to scratch, they will also teach you a great deal about the fundamentals of dog training. This includes not only how to handle your own dog, but principals that you can use to understand and better interact with other dogs too. Being able to help out less-informed dog owners can be a wonderful gift to have, and something that you can take further if you enjoy it.
Having a well-trained dog also means that taking your pet to the veterinarian will be a lot easier than it would be otherwise. Considering the nature and volume of work that they have to do, being a vet is tough, let alone dealing with an uncooperative pet in their surgery. In some cases, dogs can become violent when approached by a vet – definitely something they don’t need. By having your dog properly trained, you can avoid injuries – for both your dog and your vet – as well as unnecessary embarrassment upon visits.
How do I pick a Dog Trainer?
When hiring someone to train your dog, there is plenty to think about. The needs of both you and your pet have to be considered and so taking some time to sit down and work out what is important to you is a must. Down below are a few of the questions you might ask when it comes to finding the right dog trainer –
Should I go for group or private training? Each comes with pros and cons – those with a brand new dog can expect their pet to socialise and start to develop relationships with other dogs.
Does my dog need generalised training or would training in a specific area suit it better? One example of this is if your dog has an issue with barking, or separation anxiety. In these cases, someone that can specialise in tackling these issues would be optimal.
Do I need long-term training or do I need a quick fix? Goals such as conditioning your dog for agility or developing a routine will need more time with a trainer.
You should also take care to see what type of strategies your trainer uses. There are a wide variety of techniques that can be applied in order to change your dog’s behaviour – but not all of these involve kindness and care. It’s good to talk to prospective trainers about the ways in which they choose to teach your dog, including methods of both discipline and praise. Techniques such as positive reinforcement are very beneficial for dogs and are particularly powerful, while being enjoyable for them.
While your dog is your priority, how you communicate with your trainer is important too. Your trainer’s should be able to translate their understanding into constructive advice. A good trainer can tell you both what is working in terms of training your dog, and what isn’t. This includes passing on insights of what to do to correct certain issues, while conveying these ideas in a constructive, friendly way. In order to do this, a trainer needs to not only be able to express themselves clearly, but also be diplomatic and observant.
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
There are various ways in which you can choose to train your dog. Some owners opt for private lessons, while others will put their dog through group daycare.
Group sessions are valuable not only because they are more budget friendly, but also because they are better as a long-term option. This is because your pet will have time to get to grips with a wider variety of commands. However one-on-one training provides your dog with lessons that are specially tailored to their needs, helping them learn in the best way for them.
There are also the various levels of obedience training to take into account. As well as classes specifically for puppies, there are basic educational classes, adult training, agility and advanced tutoring. Which of these you go for can affect pricing, as well as how quickly your dog learns (depending on its needs and comprehension).
Can I hire a Dog Trainer online?
Yes! You might be surprised to hear that dog training can be done remotely, through online video platforms like Zoom. They can take the form of group sessions or one-to-one classes to tackle certain individual behavioural issues. Many customers prefer online dog training for all sorts of reasons, like saving on travel time and costs.
