What does a stooge dog session look like?

Want real-world practice without the stress?
Struggling with a particular training challenge, but finding it difficult to get the right practice with your dog? Maybe you’re working on loose lead walking, polite greetings, or just helping your dog feel more comfortable around other triggers - but you just need the right setup to practise.
That’s where our stooge-dog sessions come in.
We provide a calm, neutral dog specifically for you to practice around, giving you the opportunity to focus on the skills you want to work on without having to worry about managing the world around you at the same time.
With a neutral stooge dog, tailored guidance and plenty of opportunity to practice, you can build your skills in a supportive, controlled setting, so you leave feeling more confident and better prepared to put that training into practice outside of sessions too.
Clients often ask if the stooge dog sessions are calm and controlled. Take a look for yourself in this video above.

REAL RESULTS FROM REAL OWNERS

Ally and I have worked together on numerous mutual clients, to ensure that their groom goes as comfortably and calmly as possible. I have seen the difference made when a dog feels truly relaxed in our salon, and would urge anyone to get support through Paws & Progress if they need it.

Ally was recommended to me to help me with building my rescue dog's confidence (generally, and in one particular area). Ally is brilliant, she's knowledgeable, clear in her explanations, and she provided a training plan for me to action with my dog with clear steps and progress markers which I love! After the session, I felt empowered with all we had discussed and confident in the action plan.
