Professional and experienced puppy trainers in Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire
We understand how stressful living with a puppy can be for first time pup parents and experienced dog owners alike. We provide advice for simple training topics such as pulling on lead and ignoring you on walks. Additionally, we can also cover more complex behavioural issues such as aggression, reactivity and separation anxiety.
If any of the following sound familiar, we’d love for you to get in touch. Is your puppy constantly nipping at your feet or chewing the furniture? Are they digging small craters in the garden or stealing and destroying the kids’ toys? Perhaps they are toileting on the carpet or scavenging food off the kitchen counters? If you have a young dog that refuses to listen, is hyperactive, nervous or aggressive, we can help!

Nicole is a very encouraging trainer, and really seems to read and understand our dog. She has put together a clear plan of action and breaks it down into bite-sized chunks so that we all understand what we are trying to do and why. (us and the dog!)
Nicole is not only knowledgeable, but professional and empathic. Oh and the dogs love her! Highly recommended!
Paws Off Puppy School was excellent from start to finish and was great to see both my pup’s development and my own confidence in training him come on massively over the six weeks. Special thanks to Hayley who was a brilliant tutor and always available both in sessions and outside to answer any questions and offer help if needed.
Would highly recommend. Thanks for everything!
Fantastic training using positive methods! We have a Siberian breed known to be a challenge and she responded brilliantly with Nicole and Paws Off. We followed advice religiously and she has matured beyond my expectations. We have developed a strong relationship and she chooses to listen to me. I highly recommend Paws Off!
Nicole is absolutely 5 star in her kindness, understanding, and empathy towards dogs, and her behaviour and training skills are great – I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for some help with their dogs and puppies!
Nicole is simply amazing, her depth of knowledge and skills are outstanding, such a kind and wonderful trainer – my boy loves her!
I’ve had 5 training sessions from Nicole and the difference with Keira has been fantastic. We’ve learned techniques which are easy to implement, all focused on very positive reinforcement with her and she’s a different dog. Thanks for all the advice.
I attended a scent work workshop hosted by Paws for Fun Newbury, It was the best day! It was a very in depth, informative day. My dog and I thrived on positive experience after positive experience. Nicole was a very fun, jolly teacher who is clearly very passionate about what she does. I look forward to progressing with scent work and getting my puppy into it!
Top class trainer, knowledge unparalleled. Highly recommended
We were recommended Nicole by our vet as being extremely knowledgeable and she has proved to be definitely that! She’s really helped us better understand our dog and why he behaves and reacts in certain ways and has given us some great ways to help him with this. It’s work in progress but we’ve definitely noticed a marked improvement which has improved our confidence with him. Nicole is fantastic with dogs and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs help!
Sending thanks to both Nicole and Hayley, another amazing puppy school course, I’d happily recommend Paws Off, fantastic teaching, super friendly, always happy to help with any question you may have, and fab discounts from Natures Menu too!. 5 Stars.
Fantastic, fun and friendly training for your furbaby. Our cockapoo Oreo attended both ‘puppy school’ and ‘canine college’ classes and loved every minute of it. He’s so well trained now, sitting on command, waiting at the curb on walks, loose lead walking, returning on command. Nicole and her team really know how to get the very best out of your dog. Cannot recommend highly enough. A++++++++
I would highly recommend Paws Off, having participated in the Puppy School and Canine College classes. All staff were knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely interested in supporting both the dogs and the humans! We also worked with Nicole, on a 1:1 basis, and found her to be extremely helpful and understanding. We are still using her advice and the strategies that she taught us.
Relaxed friendly atmosphere and a great environment for learning for both owners and their pets. We’ve revisited for teenage dog training and highly recommended Nicole and Paws Off.
I took my one year old labradoodle Luchi to Canine College by Paws Off. Our trainer Nicole was amazing, she had lots of advice on specific issues Luchi was struggling with. She’s very friendly and hands-on and shows you how to do things instead of just talking the whole time. She specialises in training by positive reinforcement and that’s exactly what we looking for. She told us when to mark good behaviour and gave us lots of cues to help with training. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I would highly recommend choosing Nicole, if you are thinkin of hosting a TD ScentWork Day. we all had such an informative and fun filled day on our level 1 workshop. Nicole was so encouraging to all handlers, and I have never seen these dogs tails wag quite so enthusiastically before- everyone was definitely happy to be learning new things! Nicole clearly has an in depth knowledge of her subject, with an enthusiastic teaching style that had everyone succeeding in anything she asked of us. We are all very much looking forward to our Level 2 day!
Nicole really knows her profession- she totally understands how puppies think and hence has helped us immensely to know how to handle our gorgeous yet very excitable puppy. She has provided us with great tips on how to keep our puppy happy, calm and obedient. Most importantly she really cares about looking after us all.
Highly recommend Paws off Puppy training, we have completed puppy school and two home visits with Nicole (one face-to-face and one virtual) and all have been amazingly helpful. Nicole has always been knowledgeable about any problem and is willing to go above and beyond to help. Our pup simply loves her training sessions and it’s lovely to see her behaviour improving and her learning new things.
We attended classes with our French Bulldog puppy. Having also attended other classes in the area these were by far the best for us as dog owners as well as for our dog. Nicole was very apt to our dogs needs and personality, giving us simple and easy to follow advice on what we could do as owners as our puppy grew. Nicole also provided private sessions at home which were incredibly insightful and helpful. I would highly recommend Paws off to anyone looking at group classes or private at home sessions.
Highly recommend Paws Off training classes. We have used them twice now, the first time was with Nicole 9 years ago, and we have just graduated with our second Cocker with Hayley. The classes are very helpful and we learned a lot, even though we had trained dogs before. Our new puppy Rosie is very nervous and Hayley was great with her. She has helped us to build her confidence. Excellent classes.
Our Cavashon, Winston, and I are really enjoying Puppy classes in Farnborough. I’m learning lots and Winston likes the treats!
I attended Nicole’s workshop, Talking Dogs Scentwork 4, with my dog at Farnborough Football Club on Sunday. Nicole is confident in her expertise, generous with her knowledge and kind. We both really enjoyed the day and I will look out for her next workshop.
I attended a Talking Dogs ScentWork workshop held by Nicole which I enjoyed tremendously. Nicole has the knack of putting one at ease as soon as you walk through the door (even if late!) and her manner with both the dogs and their handlers is very kind and gentle. She is very knowledgeable about what she is teaching and is able to transfer her ideas to her clients with ease and dexterity. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with her and know that my dogs did too.
Our pup Dudley enjoyed his puppy classes and so did we… Hayley was the perfect puppy tutor! Thanks to the Paws Off Team for all their expertise and support.
We booked the 5 week home visits for our two new Doberman puppies and already had a nine year old at home. Hayley was brilliant in giving advice on having litter pups as well as making sure our older dog didn’t feel left out. Her practical teaching was excellent and we now have two well behaved”ish” puppies who have settled in to the family well and are a joy to take for a walk. Thank you Hayley!
We have had a fab time at puppy classes with Hayley. Thank you so much for all you have done for us and Barney. Lovely people and Nicole as well who we booked on through and saw at the end of classes each week. I would highly recommend you guys to anyone 😊
Wonderful trainers both ladies are so kind and know their stuff !! we’ve learnt some fantastic techniques plus we ALL had great fun.Esp Beau 🐕 we will definitely be coming back for some more training.
Nicole really knows her stuff. I have learned so much over the 6 week course. I would definitely recommend Paws off.
Just completed a six week puppy training course with my pup and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Nicole explains things so well and is so approachable and helpful. Would highly recommend this course!
Really easy to follow with Nicole and her team of assistants being very patient with you. My dog was not the easiest to work with but has come a long way from a stray rescue with no social skills!
We have done both Puppy School and Canine College and both classes have been amazing. I don’t think we would have as well behaved a dog if it wasn’t for these classes!
Even though we only made it to a few classes, Muesli made good progress and really enjoyed the classes! The sessions were well planned and we got notes to keep so we can keep practising at home. And we got a rosette afterwards
would recommend paws off to any dog owner. The advice and support me and teddy had was excellent and I now have a much happier dog when it comes to vet time
Nicole and Paws Off have helped us train all our dogs so far, Jessie, Cassie, and now Cassie’s pups Domino and Ridley. The courses are a great way to learn how to teach you pup or older dog… and the pups love it.
Fantastic! Really friendly atmosphere – we had so much fun!!
We have just finished Nicole’s puppy school & canine college. We really, really enjoyed the classes & found them very informative. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone getting a pup – we would have been a bit lost without them! Nicole has a lovely, positive approach with the puppies, and humans! Thanks Paws off!
After our first session with Nicole, our puppy went from never settling outside the crate to fast asleep by our feet. Her empathy, professionalism, and knowledge are second to none. She helped us solve so many challenging problems – from loose lead walking to helping him manage his own behaviour. She made a real difference to our lives with our dog. We’re incredibly grateful!
Paws off were brilliant! Hayley was a great teacher and Bonnie loved going to class! She will definitely miss the treat ladies! Couldn’t recommend them more! The team are great!
We can confidently recommend this service. With lots of people out there saying they know how to train a dog and suggesting methods that are detrimental and counterproductive, we were very pleased to be educated on the psychology and actual drivers of a dog’s needs so we can understand how to best approach their training. Both our pups had lots of trauma and fears to overcome, and though they are still work in progress they have come so far from when we first started. House training, fear of water, leashes, car rides, noise and reactivity with people and dogs! We have either completely overcome or are on our way there with the techniques that Nicole has shown us. We have used her help for over a year now and we are happy in the knowledge that we can go back for support as and when the needs of our dogs and family life changes. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything.
We hired Nicole to help my partner and I to give Dexter the best start we could. We had watched so many online videos it all got a but overwhelming. Nicole’s first visit at home put our minds to rest. She is very knowledge and Dexter was very responsive to her. She was always a message away when issues arose and was always quick to respond and provide a solution. We have taken all the training on board and even signed up to her puppy classes which together have really helped us with Dexter. It was definitely money well worth spending. I would have no hesitation recommending her services.
We have been working with Nicole 1-2-1 with our Golden Retriever puppy & British Shorthair cross Bengal cat.
We were looking for help to bond them together, with our cat being an unusual cross, he loved playing with our golden but we needed to manage the roughness and excitement of play.
8 weeks later and they play so gently and lovely together. Our puppy no longer chases our cat and has learnt the boundaries around living together. Not only this, Nicole has also helped us manage some extra frustration training along the way, which has made our puppy experience much more manageable.
Nicole has a super friendly, warm presence and we couldn’t recommend enough!
I cannot thank Nicole at Paws Off enough for all her help and support with my Rottweiler Sunni and her car travel anxiety issues. I had wondrous visions of getting a dog and on the weekend hitting the open road and going to the beach/camping/hiking holidays.etc and instead from the moment I picked Sunni up she had car sickness which eventually turned in to serious anxiety and complete mental shut down! For months and months I tried everything, long journeys/short journeys, every possible position in the car, calming treatments, literally everything I could think of and nothing worked, it just seemed to make it worse. We had met Nicole during our puppy socialisation classes and I got back in touch with Paws off for some help with the car issues. Instantly, we had support, a structured programme to follow and with lots (and lots) of patience, hardwork and perseverance we are now in the car and managing short journeys. Sunni is now 2 and only just recently has been able to experience different fields and parks close by. Gradually, we’ll start increasing the distance and broadening our horizons but I can’t thank Paws Off enough for making this finally possible!
We became parents to an 8 week old puppy and practically appointed Nicole and Paws Off right away! From the get-go she was great, instantly offering hints and tips for a new puppy and how best to deal with concerns before they became issues! With her help we had a seamless introduction to puppy behaviour and actions, as well as what is expected as an owner! She never deviated off the learning path and bought so much info and help to our sessions! On an upfront cost it may appear expensive, but that one cost can cover a lifetime of concerns caused by behavioural issues, that are so easily captured within the first few months if dealt with! I weighed up how troublesome a bad dog can actually be for life, over a 16 week training course to advise and guide. You get quality training and house visits with Nicole, and a lot of puppy play, and understanding. Whatever the cost, me and my husband considered this training priceless as it has assisted no end with a new pup! I would recommend to anyone with a new dog. There is a lots of content available online, but an actual person being there for you, showing you and guiding you is worth everything. Thank you Nicole for all you have contributed to this lil one’s progress and development!
We have just completed 121 training with Nicole and our cockapoo Mabel. We found our time with Nicole SO useful; we’ve learned so much and seen such an improvement in our pup! We covered many topics with Nicole – scent games, motivation techniques, lead walking, recall, desensitisation and helping Mabel feel comfortable being home alone. Nicole has helped us understand Mabel’s body language and behaviours, we now feel really confident to continue what we’ve learned as Mabel grows and develops.
We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for guidance and support from someone who is extremely knowledgable and patient. Thank you so much Nicole!
A great place to take your puppy for lessons! It taught us a lot and our dog loved going!
Nicole has been incredible with helping with our dog’s anxiety. We know have a far better understanding of his behaviours and have strategies on how we can help him.
Thanks for enjoyable and insightful training!
I would like to thank Nicole Harris from Paws Off for a terrific Level 1 scent training course – the UKSA Stabyhoun loved it! After a tricky year of uncertainty, cancelling and rebooking Nicole helped me organise this Covid safe event for our members and it was well worth the wait!
Step by step she took us through the various stages and benefits of working with our dogs to find catnip or cheese, the results were remarkable and so great to watch. We could really see what our breed’s noses were capable of! We can’t wait to practice at home and will definitely be booking again.
Nicole was fantastic 🙂 I was struggling to understand my dog’s triggers and help her, until Nicole helped both of us. Good advise and training based on positive experiences, now I can enjoy walking my dog, knowing she enjoys it too. Can’t thank Nicole enough.
Nicole is a fantastic behaviourist. Understanding, knowledge and clear in her communications and instructions. She really took the time to listen to us and our pup. She has provided invaluable support and we have seen significant improvements with our anxious and high energy working cocker puppy. He is now calmer in general and (on the most part) no longer obsessed over lights and shadows which was our main concern – we can now all enjoy our summer walks! She has helped us to understand him and his body language so we can be better dog parents and less stressed! 100% recommend.
Hayley has been incredible for our one on one home visits with Rosie, who is a strong willed and stubborn puppy. Being experienced dog owners the challenge caught us by surprise, but Hayley helped us to achieve immediate results and confidence. Highly recommend Paws Off.
Able to get our puppy off to a great start in life, Hayley was excellent. Clear and concise with training we could continue at home. The early months are so important and we’re thankfully to Hayley for helping us maximise these.
Professional, knowledgeable and very patient with us while we were learning. Lots of great techniques and tips for us to be better owners for our puppy. We would have taken more classes if we weren’t moving away! Nicole was attentive and always happy to answer questions and guide us.
Thank you so much for everything
Our Vizsla puppy Lola has just completed the puppy school with Nicole. We have learned so much from Nicole, implementing the training has made Lola a much easier pup to manage. Nicole is simply fantastic, she has a wonderful manner with both the puppies and their parents. I cannot recommend Nicole and this training enough. Thanks so much xxx
Wow! Amazing . We chose Paws Off after being recommended them. Our dog is learning to become as Assisted Learning Dog in a junior school. Nicole has been coming in weekly to work with Rocky and has been worth very single penny … and some! She is amazing! Makes everything simple, breaks it all down so that you and your dog understand it and Rocky loves her! Highly highly highly recommend 🙂
Nicole has been a fantastic support for us over the last couple of years through both group classes and 121 behaviour sessions. We have attended both puppy classes in person (pre lockdowns) and super pets online and both formats have given us valuable tips and advice to help developing skills like recall and loose lead walking.
Lovely, enthusiastic trainers with some great advice. Very pleased we opted to have some one on one sessions with our puppy to help us all feel more comfortable and get on the right track with training.
Look forward to our future sessions.
I have absolutely loved going to puppy school, and so has my dog. The classes are brilliant, very interactive and we can have a try at everything with the trainer (Hayley, in this instance) there to help, before practicing at home. As a first time dog owner I have learnt so much and so has my puppy – who for a stubborn breed is now quite well trained! The trainers are super responsive to needs, for example, I booked a 1-1 session before classes started to get some advice and it was SO useful. They clearly really care about me and my dog and I’m so grateful for all the support they’ve provided.
I can’t really recommend Paws Off enough. Nicole was lovely to deal with and her training sessions were always helpful and tailored to suit. What made it all even more worthwhile was that she followed every session up with more information and videos to help guide you when practising. Her expertise and knowledge was invaluable and we would definitely use her again.
We have worked with Nicole for nearly 2 years, since our dog was about 10 weeks old. We started with puppy home visits and taking our dog Cassie to ‘puppy school’ and ‘super-pups’ all of which were brilliant helping us socialise and teach her basic manners, plus really helping us negotiate the ‘land shark’ phase of puppy hood. As our dog, Cassie, grew older it became clear she was struggling with sleeping patterns and some handling/grooming tasks, and Nicole worked closely with us and our vet to find the root cause (allergies making Cassie uncomfortable) and putting behaviour plans in place to help us and Cassie manage her behaviours whilst we sort her allergies. Throughout this time Nicole was always on the end of the phone between sessions if we needed any advice, and would regularly check in to see how things were going. Cassie has gone from a ‘tear away’ puppy to a (relatively) chilled, sociable dog who can now happily visit a groomers and often receives comments on how ‘well behaved’ she is. Cassie is still strong willed and cheeky (and we would never want to change that) but Nicole has given us strategies to work with Cassie’s personality to find ways Cassie wants to train. I genuinely can’t recommend Nicole enough!
I approached Hayley for some behavioural support as we had attended puppy school, and liked her demeanor.
Hayley answered all of our detailed questions, gave us some great guidance in supporting of our pup with hyper attachment.
Hayley was great at demonstrating and explaining how to reward and help pup settle better as well as covering additional aids such as toys that could work for our pup.
Giving us the confidence to progress.
Very friendly and helpful
We attended the first face to face training after lockdown with Nicole Harris and I have nothing but praise and respect for what she does, absolutely amazing and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for support with you dog or puppy. She is first class in every respect. Thank you Nicole, Oscar is brilliant and I put this down to you. I hope you’re well. All the best, James and Sam.
We have worked 1:1 with both Nicole and Hayley from Paws off – they have both been amazing! Our pup has 100% benefited from our time together and they have provided us with great ideas and resources.
Brilliant 1:1 session with Hayley, gave us loads of great advice & training examples!
Had a great first visit yesterday to be honest it was very professional and we had a great time gus enjoyed it very much we’re looking forward to the next one.
We started puppy training classes over zoom when our little cockapoo was 9 weeks and we’re so glad we did. She has come on leaps and bounds and we have found these classes invaluable. Nicole has so much knowledge and will always answer any questions you have. I actually feel a bit sad they’re finished. Thank you Nicole, we know where to come in the future if we have any issues! Looking forward to hopefully getting on the super pup classes in the future.
We had a thoroughly informative and useful consultation with Hayley. We were able to ask a lot of questions and all were answered with clarity and care. We are looking forward to continuing our puppy school journey with Hayley and Nicole!
Our family completed an online puppy training course with Nicole from Paws Off over the lockdown period and it was fantastic! Definitely so worth doing despite having been adapted to be online, plus because of this, Paws Off provided two extra sessions in person once restrictions lessened, free of charge! Our puppy has made heaps of progress thanks to the direction and support from the class and we’re so happy with the service we’ve received. Would definitely recommend Paws Off to anyone with a new puppy, and if you have any reservations about completing the course online, no need, just go for it! Thank you so much.
Despite the need to adapt the puppy training for zoom due to Covid, the sessions were still effective and worthwhile. In some ways, without the distraction of other puppies we were able to focus and make great progress. Nicole, our trainer was excellent – enthusiastic and organised and went over and beyond what we expected, never rushing the sessions and always responsive on our WhatsApp group at all times. I would definitely recommend going ahead with zoom while classes in person are not possible to get your puppy trained at a young age, we have seen great improvement in behaviour and the training techniques are really working.
We completed a virtual puppy training course with Nicole over lockdown. The course was excellent and worked well over zoom. The instructions were clear, easy to follow and worked on our puppy! We were given tasks each week to work through before the next session which kept us on top of our training. Nicole is professional, very knowledgeable and gave great advice and guidance. We would recommend Paws Off training to anyone with a new puppy looking for help.
We absolutely loved our training with Nicole, at first I was incredibly sceptical about the training and as it was virtual I was worried about not getting the socialisation we originally booked the training for however it exceeded my expectations and more. My partner and I learnt so much about training a puppy (so much more than what we could learn in a book) and having Nicole there to give us specific guidance for our puppy Codie meant she has come on leaps and bounds and we have specific guidance on how to handle some of her little quirks! We are looking at doing further courses with Paws off and would not hesitate doing a virtual course again!
My experience with ‘Paws Off’ was amazing. The understanding of pet behaviours and how to address them resolved some long standing embedded problems in a matter of a fortnight, with lots of other good habits established along the way. It made such a difference to my life (toilet training particularly) and to my relationship with my dog.
Nicole was fantastic with online puppy training in lockdown. This puppy is our third dog and the only one who we have been able to train to walk nicely on a lead! Nicole is knowledgeable, helpful and professional. Best trainer we have ever had for our dogs.
I found Nicole to be warm, caring & knowledgeable. Despite being restricted to a zoom meeting due to lockdown this didn’t stop Nicole being able to give me valuable skills to help my puppy with separation anxiety. I am looking forward to a review meeting in a couple of weeks.
I had a private session with Nicole and she really listened and cared about my dog and gave lots of valuable advice for my dog training journey. I would definitely recommend Paws Off to any dog owners looking to find reliable and positive training.
Nicole was able to see us in the midst of a puppy panic and she was calm, kind and incredibly helpful. Looking forward to returning for support and puppy training classes as our pooch ages!
We have attended the Puppy School and Superpup classes with our puppy both in person and online and done one-to-one online training. Nicole is an amazing dog trainer and is so knowledgeable and supportive. She has helped our nutty Viszla puppy grow into a confident and well mannered young dog. The online classes work brilliantly and it has been so much fun learning with our puppy from home and meeting other puppies and their owners. I would whole heartedly recommend Paws Off to anyone looking for help with their dog or just looking for something fun to do with their puppy during lockdown!
Highly recommend Paws Off following our really supportive puppy behaviour online consultation. Lots of good ideas and things I can do to support our nervy little chap through the next few months of puppyhood. Thanks so much!
Nicole was very friendly and professional and we would highly recommend her services to anyone who needs any training services for their puppies / dogs.
Nicole was amazing! Very professional and responsive throughout the whole programme, especially in such a difficult time where we had a mix of virtual and face to face puppy classes. Learned lots and are hoping to continue onto the graduate programme too 🤓… Would recommend to anyone with a new pup 10/10!
Great knowledge and advice. Really professional and friendly. Looking forward to doing more with the team once puppy arrives.
We contacted Nicole to get advice before we get our puppy next month. She had plenty of knowledge and information to give but at no point did we feel lost or that we were drowning in details. Nicole made it very easy to understand and has given us more confidence as future dog owners. We have already signed up for her puppy classes in January.
I would recommend Nicole to anyone with any worries or problems with their dog. I booked a session with her when I got my puppy as I was feeling really overwhelmed with all the information I was reading online and my puppy wasn’t eating. Nicole was warm, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again.
We have been attending the fantastic Talking Dogs Scentwork workshops with Nicole and have really enjoyed every one of them. Nicole is very knowledgeable and great with helping you and your dog achieve, whatever your goal is. Look no further for 5 star training and behaviour assistance!
Teddy was really struggling with confidence and terrified of going to the vets. Just being able to get him in the consulting room was hard stressful for both of us. He was starting to get very aggressive at vets appointment. Working with Nicole from paws off helped so much. He still uses the muzzle at the vets and probably always will but now I recognise the signs of Teddy getting stressed or frightened and have the confidence to support him. One happier dog and owner. Thank you so much!
I was having so many problems with my young spaniel who had had a traumatic experience and was reacting to everything. With some help from Nicole I can now let her play off lead, she is more settled and happy. I was facing the prospect of possibly having to rehome her to a farm away from people but she is different dog. I would recommend Paws off to anyone as the techniques are reward based and you get support in between sessions.
Nicole was amazing with our puppy, she gave us really useful tips on how to toilet train her in a new environment. We will definitely recommend to others.
The 6 week puppy course was really helpful for us. Learnt a lot and Nicole was very knowledgable. Would recommend this course for all new puppy owners.
Hi Sarah, it was so lovely to meet you and Esme last week and I look forward to continuing to work with you so she can continue to improve. Such an amazing dog to work with – so smart!
We were recommended Nicole by our vet to help with our dogs anxiety – i’m so glad we went ahead and didn’t wait until we could meet face to face. Even though we were unable to be with Nicole due to lockdown she was a huge support and help. For me and my dog! Nicole did a thorough assessment and I felt assured that she understood our dog and our scenario. It is thanks to Nicole that we have the confidence and a professional plan to put in measures to support our dog now and in the future and we can see that he is a happier dog for it. I would 100% recommend reaching out online for help if you need it and not waiting!
I contacted Paws Off because my already anxious dog was starting to get more possessive of me now that we’re working at home all the time now. It was distressing for both the doggo and my partner, as well as for me. Nicole, the trainer, held a virtual session with us and got us to talk through in a lot of detail about our dog’s past (he’s a rescue) and his routines etc. She not only gave us insightful advice, but got us to try techniques during the session, which we saw had an immediate impact on our dog’s behaviour. We now have some great practical actions to help create a calmer and more predictable environment for our dog, as well as for ourselves. Thank you so much!
