will be happy to live with.
Forward Paws was established to teach you - the dog or puppy owner - simple and effective techniques to help improve your dog's behaviour. Since each puppy or dog is unique, training can be customised to best meet
your needs and those of your dog.
Positive reinforcement training is based on rewarding your dog for doing the right behaviour - not punishment for doing the incorrect behaviour.
I offer a range of training programmes for puppies and dogs of all ages
from Absolute Beginners to Advanced Level, as well as specialised services
e.g. competition training & remedial training to address behavioural issues.
