​
Each course also comes with lifelong support via phone or email from Paws & Progress, both during and after your sessions. No question is too silly or big!
More than just training.
Group training is about more than learning skills. They help you build confidence, strengthen your bond, and create happy experiences for both you and your dog.
However...
They AREN'T always suitable for every pup - particularly if they lack confidence or struggle being around other four-legged friends. They also AREN'T the way to resolve reactivity, and can infact often make it worse due to the intensity of the environment!

REAL RESULTS FROM REAL OWNERS
I am so glad we found Ally's training classes. She and her team have been so supportive and patient through the 5 week puppy course. Extremely helpful and manageable tips that make all training feel doable! I can thoroughly recommend Paws & Progress for dog training at any age!

We have just finished a five week course with Ally for our eight month old Spaniel, Martha. The classes are very small and Ally teaches using positive methods in a very settled and relaxed manner. This along with the socialising has helped Martha enormously. We will definitely be booking the Improver/Intermediate Course in the near future!
