company helping them to overcome some of the most common behaviour problems our four-legged friends face, resulting in a happy, well-integrated pet. Some of the most frequent concerns it handles are socialisation difficulties (fear or reactivity), issues with toilet training, managing aggression, easing separation anxiety, and establishing more general routines. More than the behaviours it tackles, what sets Four Paws Training apart in the realm of residential dog training the results it gets, as well as exactly how it gets them. All of this premium training is dog-centric, having been designed to nurture happy and healthy dogs who learn obedience via positive and effective methods. As for how exactly this is achieved, the expert, local dog trainer that a customer is assigned will have the dog at their home, delivering a true home-from-home experience that is free of any stressful kennels. Going through the process in a bit more detail, it all begins by a dog owner in need of a helping hand filling out the booking form on the company website, which can be found here. All they need to provide are a few simple details about themselves and their dog’s behaviour. From here, a member of the team will be in touch to discuss their concerns, asking further questions to come up with a plan and help assign the right trainer for their dog. This reflects the fully bespoke nature of the training, which is tailored to every dog’s personality. Training then officially begins with a level of convenience that is indicative of the company as a whole, this with a complimentary pick-up service that sees the trainer visit the home of the owner and meet the dog, before taking them back to their house for the training to begin. Once a dog is in the hands of one of these competent trainers, they will be treated to a holistic training approach that results in improved behaviour and a stronger bond with their owner. These training sessions then usually last between two and four weeks at a time. Over the course of their dog’s training, owners can expect to receive video ‘pupdates’ on a daily basis via a private family WhatsApp group, allowing them to see the progress their pup is making first-hand. This helps to build a sense of trust between the owner and the trainer, something Four Paws Training recognises is crucial for success. After all, dogs are more than just pets, and parting with them for a few weeks can be a really difficult thing to do. However, as the owners will see in these videos, every trainer representing Four Paws Training does their job with compassion, leveraging only the most positive and ethical methods (usually reward-based training) to achieve the intended results. By offering effective outcomes without harsh fear/intimidation, these dedicated trainers show their talent and nurture their affinity for animals – two further distinguishing factors of this team. Once the training is complete, the trainer will take the dog back to their owner, providing them with a detailed handover session that goes through the successful techniques and explains how the owner and the rest of their household (if applicable) can make the
