Expert Dog Training, Wherever You Are – Tailored Guidance at Your Fingertips
At Paws Academy, we understand that not everyone can attend in-person training sessions, whether due to distance or other limitations. To support dog owners no matter where they are, we offer an online coaching service tailored to address specific behavioural challenges. Clients can send us a video, no longer than 10 minutes, showcasing a single behaviour they’d like support with. This focused approach ensures we can provide clear, actionable guidance on how to address the issue effectively.
Our experienced trainers will carefully review the video and, within three days, provide personalised feedback and advice on the best strategies to address the behaviour. Using only positive, force-free, and scientifically proven training methods, we aim to create a safe and constructive plan for you and your dog. Our feedback will include detailed explanations and step-by-step guidance, empowering you to make lasting improvements at home.
While online coaching is a valuable tool for many, we emphasise that in-person training typically offers the most comprehensive and immediate results. However, this service is an excellent option for those outside our catchment area or unable to visit our training centre. With our expert advice, you can still benefit from the same high standards of care and knowledge that we provide in person, helping you strengthen the bond with your dog and achieve positive outcomes from the comfort of your home.
Let Paws Academy help you tackle behavioural challenges wherever you are – together, we’ll create a happier, more harmonious life for you and your dog!
