Pooch Paws

The great thing about Katey and Pooch Paws is she doesn’t just teach you the how, but the why too. For us, that meant we were able to continue with the principles she taught us and adapt them to our needs. By consistently applying those principles we’ve been able to work with our dog through all sorts of situations, including a very difficult adolescence and a long period of ill health with medications that affected his behaviour. We’ve now come out the other side with a dog that an experien...

My partner and I have attended Pooch Paws training classes with all 4 of our dogs and I also attend gundog training with my Hungarian Vizsla, Zoe. The classes are always fun and with regular practice of the techniques we've made great progress; even during the lockdowns Katie organised for the classes to continue on Zoom! Katie has a real understanding of dogs - and their handlers - we would (and have) recommended her training to other dog owners and we would never go anywhere else.

We've been part of the Pooch Paws school since the summer & have had the best time learning together. Katey is incredibly knowledgeable & the results with our labradoodle are so impressive. We had some 1-1sessions too which accelerated our learning even more. We're taking a break from Pooch Paws to welcome a baby into the world - but the skills we've taken away from our time there will be absolutely vital to being able to manage our big old pup with a small human around! During our time w...

Sadie has attended puppy classes since she was 12 weeks. Katey has always managed to keep classes fun, interesting and effective. Sadie loves her and behaves so much better for her. Excellent with both dog and handler! Very patient with both! Can’t recommend highly enough. We are now attending 1-2-1 sessions for specific issues! So professional and still fun! Richard

Our 3 dogs took an instant liking to Katey who is warm, friendly and highly professional. We have had private home sessions for 2 of our dogs and they have responded extremely well to the tuition given and Katey has trained the pair of us well too. We are very pleased and grateful for what she has achieved and we will be following up by joining the group sessions with our excitable Frenchie. Thanks Katey.
