Dog Training
1-2-1 Dog Training & Behavioural Advice
This is either in your own home or at a safe enclosed location. This is a 1-2-1 consultation service. Whether you need training or behavioural advice, we can help.
- Learn how to bond and have fun with your dog
- Learn how to communicate and understand them
- Lessons are intensive, but definitely not dull!
Residential Training Programme
Our Residential Training Programme is for our customers who need more than the usual assistance. Whether your too busy to spend the time training or maybe you are too ill then this might well be your best option.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT OWNERS HAVE TIME MID WAY AND AT THE END OF THE COURSE FOR LESSONS TO ENSURE OWNERS AND DOGS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. It would be pointless and a waste of your money to pay us to train them and just give them back to you without you both having some lessons together.
We take your dog into our home and they live as part of the family or they might stay in our approved and monitored kennels facility.
This course is for a minimum of two weeks when they will go through an intensive programme.
This training course is ideal for;
- Dogs with excess energy and/or highly distracted
- Dogs requiring socialisation in a controlled manner
- Dogs with low confidence
- Owners with limited time and/or resources to train the dog to the required level
- Owners who would like their dog trained whilst they are on holiday as an alternative to boarding
- Owners with little or no control over their dogs and dogs that are out of control
We will teach your dog the foundations of a series of basic obedience exercises. Afterwards a essential part of this course, you will be shown how to improve and perfect these exercises.These exercises include:

As they live with us and our dogs as part of the family, they will also learn house rules and manners taught by us, and our dogs.
Dogs need to be at least 6 months old and no older than two to qualify for this course.
They need to be certified in good health and have had all their vaccinations including Kennel Cough (this needs to be at least two weeks prior to arrival)
At the end of the course we are available on the phone to advise if you are having problems; so there is no excuse if you cant get your dog to do what you tell them to!
Rally O
Rally Obedience is the latest dog sport to arrive from the USA.
Dogs and their handlers negotiate a course with numbered signs indicating different exercises to perform, such as Sit, Serpentine once, send over jump, fast forward from Sit and About turn right.
Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs and reward during the performance. Rally O is described as combining the characteristics of sports car racing, dog agility and traditional obedience into a new fun sport.
The best part is that as long as your dog has a basic level of training you can take part and have a go.
Courses are run throughout the year. Each course is 8 weeks long.

We recently bought a Border Collie pup, who is really beautiful, but with two small boys we were finding the training and dog handling quite difficult and as it was not entirely successful. The behavioural problems were beginning to set in and becoming difficult to handle.
After having had two previous trainers over the first three month period, we finally met Suzanne who we immediately took too, as it was very apparent that she loved dogs and had a natural and innate ability to understand them and we felt in safe hands.
Suzanne asked first to see the dog in his home environment and took detailed notes of his habits, eating, exercise program and watched how the family was with him. I must say that this was really helpful in identifying the issues.
As we had two small boys and many children visitors we felt that a two week residential stretch with Suzanne would be the best way to enforce training and add consistency. Ozzie was very happy with Paws Galore and we visited weekly to be given instruction and to be brought up with the commands and how to install them in the home
The difference in his beahaviour and manners around the house is immense. Ozzie is now at home and continues to go to weekly creche and the family has training sessions occasionally to carry on the great work and to enforce the behaviour now so that we can enjoy Ozzie at home over the coming years.
Without Suzannes help, I think that we would have had to looked at re-housing him because we couldn’t handle him………That’s the best testimonial I can give.. I would highly recommend Suzanne to anyone with dog issues, She deals with them in a loving , caring and responsible way. Ozzie loves visiting her and her dogs!!….

My husband and I went away for two weeks and left our six month “yorkie poo” in Suzanne’s care. I had seen Paws Galore on the Web when I was looking for someone to train our puppy whilst boarding her. We went to meet Suzanne so she could see Kizzie and so we could see her and her facilities. Suzanne put us at ease immediately. She has a great way with dogs and certainly knows how to train them. Before Kizzie went to Suzanne I could not let her off her lead when we went for our daily walks. Now she comes immediately I call her name. She sits, lies and stays until recalled which is amazing in such a young and very lively little dog. I would have no hesitation In highly recommending Paws Galore.

Hi Suzanne,
- We had to right to let you know how Misty is doing:-
- She hasn’t jumped up any of our guests at home
- When walking is only attracted to other dogs and not their owners – no jumping up people
- She is ignoring bikes
- We are persevering with the training using the whistle. She comes back most of the time.
Many thanks for your much appreciated help
