Below are a few testimonies....
Dear Rebecca, I just thought that I would drop you a line to thank you for helping me with Bruce after my hospital stay. You have been a great help and as ever Bruce loves the time that you spend with him. You have always been reliable not only in your dog walking but the training you have given has made owning a dog a real pleasure. I would be happy to give anyone a glowing testamony on your behalf. Kind regards and again thank you......... Sarah and Bruce.

Rebecca was a godsend when I moved to the Skipton area. I work full time and needed someone reliable to walk my 2 dogs every day. The dogs adore Rebecca and she is so reliable, I have no concerns at all that they are well looked after. When she is unable to walk them, she arranges for an alternative walker so I don't need to worry about it. With a very full time job, that is a big load off my mind and I know the dogs are very happy and settled. I would be delighted to recommend Rebecca to anyone......... Debbie Richardson

My dog Rio is a rescue dog and came with all the problems that a troubled past can cause. Rebecca's obvious affection for him and her sense of humour has made me more tolerant and Rio a much happier and more obedient dog. He loves the hours he spends with her and the other dogs... just the mention of her name sends him rushing to the door with delight. I can't praise her highly enough, give her service a try and watch your dog return with a big silly grin on his face!......... Alison

Loose Lead Walking Class
I booked myself and Fudge who is a JRT/Yorkie onto the class because she had had not training at all - she is 2 and a half and I have had her 8 months - and was very noisy and pully whilst out walking.
I found the course to be very beneficial and the techniques have been really helpful in sorting out the pulling on the lead and her barking at other dogs and people, although not cured has definitely improved and is doing so all the time.
I found the classes really enjoyable and the trainer a wonderful source of information as to why she was behaving the way she was and ways to reverse the behaviour. The training methods were easy to pick up and carry out and I now feel much more confident in my ability to train my dog. I also have a much stronger bond now with Fudge as we spend a lot more time 'working' together.
Although Fudge is not yet 100% obedient when out walking and still has bouts of intense barking at other dogs - I am now able to control her more than I could before and it is improving all the time. I intend to keep up with the training as walking now is so much more enjoyable and less stressful.
Many thanks
Emma and Fudge

Thanks to the good grounding Joss received at your beginner's class. I can walk him past flocks of sheep now, off the lead, provided I keep talking to him; not bad for a year-old border collie, eh?! ..... Mick Waddilove.

We came across Paws Training when seeking help with our English pointer Nero aged 5 years. He had always shown more territorial tendencies than our previous 3 pointers, all males, and his increasing dominance was causing problems and concern. He had been neutered the year before but this had made little difference. We put some of the problem down to having moved into a barn which we spent 18 months restoring and renovating. Nero's area in the kitchen had been subjected to a constant stream of workmen passing through and as the kitchen was at the bottom of stairs, he was unable to see who was approaching. Visitors were now seen as a threat to his security. The situation worsened at Christmas when he became extremely aggressive to my mother (no mother in law jokes please) when she walked into a room where Nero was sleeping. We felt really desperate at this stage and contacted Rebecca and Martin. A date was arranged for a home visit in the following weeks. During that time, we acquired a 7 month old pointer bitch, Eve. We had been looking for a companion for Nero and by the time Martin and Rebecca arrived, Eve was in situ. They spent some time asssessing the situation and going through Nero's history and explained their tried and tested method of click and reward to restore a dog's confidence. The theory was that Nero's aggression was based on fear and that if this could be allayed and diverted then things might improve. The next hour was spent coming into the house and ignoring his persistent barking. At the same time, Rebecca approached him with a treat, using the clicker at the same time to establish the situation. A command, a click and a treat reinforced his good behaviour and diverted his attention from the visitor. This progressed to the visitor entering the premises and being asked to click and reward Nero. In this way, we established that visitors meant treats and we were encouraged to ask any future callers to go through the motions of clicking and treating to build Nero's confidence. Martin then assumed the guise of a stranger entering the house and the same proceedure was put into action with good results. Eve was also involved in the same way so a degree of teamwork was established. Following this visit we were sent detailed notes of the methods used to calm Nero and to establish a better relationship with visitors. All good behaviour should be rewarded and bad behaviour ignored. We have followed this through with good results and in different situations on a daily basis. For example when out walking with bikes, runners and oncoming dogs when situations can easily become difficult and stressful for all concerned. A few months later, we decided to attend the Paws training classes at Bingley on Saturday mornings. These 6 weeks proved a great success and were really enjoyed by us all. The class was small with 4 dogs so we were able to have individual attention, and held inside but more often out in the 2 large paddocks with loads of space. Nero and Eve flourished and we have not looked back. We would thoroughly recommend Paws for any canine problems and for training classes. Martin and Rebecca show such enthusiasm, encouragement and committment and we wish them success in the future..... Richard & Ros Brearley.
