Why 4 Paws?

Whether you are a new dog owner or just need a bit of guidance to help with a specific issue, 4Paws dog training can help.

It can be daunting not knowing what to do when you have a dog showing some unwanted or worrying behaviour. I provide consultations to fully discuss your situation and then we work together to introduce manageable training.

I am a member of the IMDT (institute of modern dog training) and have attended numerous courses over the past few years.

I am passionate and dedicated about providing the best advice and all training is reinforcement based with no 'forced' techniques.

1:1 Training

You may prefer, or it may be advised that to help with a specific issue(s) the training is best done on a 1:1 basis rather than a class setup.

4Paws Dog Training offers 1:1 Consultations and Training sessions in your home/other locations, dependent upon what is required.

Prices are dependent upon your location and depth of training required. Consultations covers completion of a form, notes, full discussions on issues at hand and plan of actions with a start on introducing new techniques and routines. You will also be emailed some notes from the sessions.

Training will meet a code of ethics from the IMDT of which Kate is an accredited member (since 2016).
All positive and fun training and NO force or fear techniques are used.

Great learning through fun workshops and classes!

4Paws Dog Training highly recommends this harness!

4Paws advises owners, new and old to use a harness instead of a collar for walks. This prevents damage to your dog's neck and vocal cords.

The Perfect Fit Harness is great for training loose lead walking with the use of a double ended lead. More info: www.dog-games.co.uk

4Paws stocks the most common sizes (20mm) and provides a fitting and advisory service.
