Paws In Hand Dog Training And Behaviour

We have a nervous and timid cocker spaniel. Denise is a true expert in her field. Her knowledge of dogs is second to none. Her calm, informed approach is great for dogs and people alike! It means anyone with a desire to understand more about their four legged best friend & their needs can succeed. Our dog and home is happier as a result. She was a game changer for us and our family.
