News Update Jan 2024
🌟 Exciting News! Taking a Paws 🐾 for a Year! 🌟
I wanted to share some incredibly exciting news with all of you.
After much contemplation, I've decided to embark on a year-long sabbatical to seize a fantastic opportunity that has come my way! This journey will allow me to explore new avenues, enhance my skills, and bring back even more knowledge to benefit all our dogs.
But fret not, my dear friends! While I'll be taking a temporary break from in-person sessions, I am committed to staying connected with each and every one of you. Throughout the year, I'll be sharing exclusive tips, tricks, and insights on our social media pages to support you in your dog parenting journey.
I'll be here to provide guidance, and share heartwarming tales of canine companionship. Your trust and support mean the world to me, and I want to ensure that you continue to feel supported and inspired, even during my absence.
Thank you all for being part of this incredible community. Here's to a year of growth, learning, and the boundless joy that our dogs bring into our lives! Stay tuned for updates, and let the doggie adventures continue! 🌟🐶💕
With heartfelt gratitude,
Renee 🐾✨

A number of our own dogs at Paws Academy are 'rescue dogs' so we have unique hands-on experience to help guide and train with dogs which may not have had the best start in life, or could be considered reactive.

We are here to help, and don't forget - no question is a silly question! :)
A huge thank you to Renee for all her help. I was totally overwhelmed with my first rescue collie Jasper. The support and guidance I received was superb, nothing was too much trouble and everything was explained so I could understand it. Jasper is now a dream to live with, and we are just starting agility classes!! This was something I never dreamed would happen previously. I recommend Renee and Paws Academy to anyone looking to get support with training dogs
