Why did you come to Paws&Praise to train your dog?

I came to Paws&Praise to help build a better relationship with my Dalmatian Lucca and myself and to teach him about behaviours around other dogs. I also loved the idea of positive reinforcement as a way of training.

What has been the best benefit of training with Paws&Praise?

Building that relationship with my dog, he probably ran our relationship he was the boss of me and did what he wanted. Now we have a good relationship and just being able to enjoy my time with him more. Also being able to take him out and walks are a lot more enjoyable, and he’s just a happier dog.

Would you recommend Paws&Praise to friends?

Yes 100%! I wish I had started training sooner with Lucca I started when he was 3 years old. I’m glad I’ve started straight away with my new puppy Louie. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend to everyone!

Why did you come to Paws&Praise for training?

We had a previous dog trainer and I’m new to having a dog. I felt like there wasn’t any specific exercises to work on so we found Paws&Praise, the difference it’s made has been a while different world. Melissa gives us very specific actions and exercise to work on which has brought on my own confidence as well as my puppies. We are just going to keep continuing as our puppy is only getting better behaved.

Would you recommend Paws&Praise to other friends and followers?

I can - and already have because of the difference it’s made to our household but also our puppy.

Before & After Training

Client Testimonial

Why did you come to Paws&Praise for training your dog?

I got my dog Lemmy during covid and he was not socialised properly because of lock down. He became extremely reactive to dogs and people as we lived on a property with land and didn’t have a lot of interactions.

Then I met Mel when I was having a difficult walk, she gave me a few tips. I’ve been online and everything trying so hard to deal with the behaviour of reactivity but I really didn’t know what I was doing.

From the first session with Mel she gave me the tools that I have been using every day to create a really confident dog and a confident human. I can now go to a cafe with him which I never thought was possible and he’s 100% a different dog.

Would you recommend Paws&Praise to other people with reactive dogs?

100% percent because my life has totally changed as well as Lemmy’s! Thanks to positive reinforcement training, learning about my reactions and fears and also how they transfer onto my dog. Every time we have a training session I learn something new about my dog and myself.
