Force free dog behaviour and training


What we're actually here for
 

Your dog isn't a project. They're a member of the family. We are here to build a bond between you.
 
We're not interested in fancy obedience. We're not training for the ring, the agility course or a competition 
 
We're interested in the Tuesday evening when the doorbell goes and everyone can stay calm. The walk you stop dreading. The dog who settles at your feet while the kids do their homework, because they feel safe enough to.
 
That's built on trust and trust comes before training, not after it. Get that bit right and the training follows far more easily than most people expect.

Our Clients Say

"I booked sessions for my German Shepherd puppy, Hope, to address her pulling on the lead during walks. After just a few sessions with Matt and some dedicated effort on my part, Hope now walks perfectly alongside me without pulling. I can truly enjoy our walks together! I highly recommend Paw Patrol Pet Services for anyone looking to improve their pet's behavior.

Thank you Matt
Vicky and Hope Bunn."

The Challenge: Labelled for "nipping" the kids
Separation distress
Lead Pulling
Destructive behaviour
Toileting inside the house

The Reality: A busy adolescent dog whose subtle body language was missed leaving him no choice but to shout

Most training plans fail for reasons that have nothing to do with the dog

 You've probably been handed a plan before. Twenty minutes of training, twice a day, plus the walk you're avoiding, plus the sessions in the diary, plus work, plus the kids, plus the thing you've forgotten.

 

It didn't fail because you weren't committed. It failed because nobody asked what your week actually looks like.

 

We build plans that fit real lives and real households. If you've got fifteen minutes and a hallway, we'll work with fifteen minutes and a hallway. A plan that gets done beats a perfect plan that sits in a folder.

How we work

 

Real lives - real households

Your dog: health, breed traits, history, what they genuinely find rewarding, how they learn, what tips them over the edge.

 

Your household : who's in it, how old they are, what the daily routine looks like, where you walk, what time you honestly have.

 

How you learn : some people want the science and the reasoning. Some want a short video and three bullet points. Some need someone standing alongside them doing it. All of those are fine. Only one of them works for you.

Then we build the plan. Dog and human together, or it doesn't hold.

"Matt is very understanding and doesn't judge. He helped me with loose lead walking and recall. I suffer with anxiety and he makes you feel at ease and doesn't force you to do anything you don't feel comfortable with. 100% recommend"
