Golden Paws Dog Training was founded on the belief that not all dogs are created equal. Each dog is their own unique being, and therefore requires individual and specialised training.
Whether it's for basic manners or more complex behavioural problems, Golden Paws is focussed not only on teaching to how to train your pet, but also giving you the skills to communicate with them more effectively.

We had been putting off training for our 6 month old Brick but decided to reach out to Golden Paws for some one on one training and guidance being first time puppy parents. Not long at all after enquiring Mel gave me a call and I instantly felt her personable nature and dedication as an experienced trainer. Mel was unbelievable during our session and gave us some great insight and understanding of our Beagle before teaching us some strategies to implement at home to benefit not only him as a pup but us as owners. It has been a week since Mel visited us and I can whole heartedly say Brick is a different dog entirely. He has been so well behaved and content, so much so my partner, who is a trader, is now taking him to work each day with not a single problem. All of this from a short 1 and a half hour session. We are so grateful for Mel’s guidance and are so proud of our little guy. Can’t thank you enough Mel! More...

Very good information so far, really interesting and some great tips with separation and toileting which I will now be able to put in place with more confidence for our 3 1/2 month old puppy. Thanks Mel, look forward to our next appointment! More...
