Lavender Paws Dog Training

Hi, my background is in animal science and science education. I have an Advanced Instructor certificate from the APDT and a degree in Animal Science. I also hold teaching qualifications and have been a school science tutor for 15 years, as well as running dog training classes for more than 7 years, so I'm uniquely placed to teach both you and your dog as a team.

​

I believe in learning through play and using positive reward-based techniques. I also believe in social cognitive learning, so that your dog not only learns specific skills but becomes a well-rounded, relaxed and confident dog.

In Spring 2023 I qualified as an accredited instructor for Mantrailing UK. I love Mantrailing, which is an activity in which dogs find people via their scent, for the way it relaxes dogs and demonstrates their incredible abilities.
