We care about you and your dog and pride ourselves on offering a professional yet personal service. As leading experts in dog training and behaviour, we believe we can help you achieve your dogs’ potential.

At Talk to the Paw we understand what it’s like to raise a puppy. We have experienced the ups and downs of owning a difficult teenager who doesn’t listen and seems to forget all their training. We know the joy and worry of taking on a rescue dog. We understand what it’s like to live with a dog with aggression issues towards people/other dogs as we have been there ourselves.And because we understand how you are feeling, we can listen and work with you. We combine our knowledge of behavioural and learning science with our compassion and understanding of people to provide an all-round supportive service for you all your dog needs.

What people say about us

"Absolutely brilliant team with amazing patience. They showed me, a middle aged experienced dog owner, new ways of breaking down modern training techniques. This helped my dog master all the basic skills to be well behaved, sociable and relaxed. They helped me understand how to read the body language of my dog and identify things I could tweak in my own behaviours to help progress. I can personally highly recommend them.

"Our course of 6 took place during lockdown. Clair has a straightforward teaching style, which came across very well via video link and didn’t feel limiting at all from the comfort of our living room.

There is also video content available to download outside of the class. Plus Clair was easily accessible via email to assist us with anything we were struggling with between classes, including stuff not covered on our course. We were very confident in her expertise and accessibly. I've already started to recommend her to other puppy owners. Champion!"
