Dog Training
What can I do to help you and your dog?
At Four Paws Training Academy I aim to provide quality training or behavior therapy to educate owners and provide solutions to help and guide our canine family members.
Whether you are thinking about getting a dog, just about to bring a puppy or rescue dog into your home, or would like to help your dog with a few struggles in life... I can help. Getting to know your dog so you know what they're saying to you, helps build confidence, and seeing their accomplishments not only will fill you with joy, but give your dog the building blocks in life.
We do this by using positive reinforcement and games. Teaching your dog to engage with you, stay close and be happy is the key.

Me and my puppy have attended the puppy and life skills groups with Maria, and I’d highly recommend them. He’s a crazy cocker spaniel and wants to meet everyone, know what’s going on everywhere and gets really excited about everything, so it’s been great to learn some games to keep his focus on me, calm him down, and he’s now beginning to get the hang of loose lead walking. The games were an absolute lifesaver over Christmas when me and pup were mobbed by my three young nieces! He’s only six months but both me and him have learnt loads. The courses are fun and you get lots of backup advice from Maria whenever you need it, and you’re always given literature from each class to help you practice at home
I feel incredibly lucky to have taken part in the puppy and rescue dog sessions. My dog Cleo has come on so much and is much more confident when we are out and about on walks. Training is based on games, Cleo and I both loved it and continue with them at home. Maria is absolutely fantastic, obviously dedicated to her job and doggy clients, and very knowledgeable.
I would 100% recommend Four Paws Training Academy

We booked a couple of sessions with Maria as soon as we brought our puppy home. We also attended puppy and progression classes.
Maria is welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble and she is always on the end of the phone, should you need advice or supplies.
It has been a pleasure to attend the weekly classes. We have learnt so much and it was always fun as well as informative.
If you are looking for a local dog trainer or behaviourist, then I would highly recommend Four Paws and Trails.
