WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Monty Poodle.jpg

MONTY

Absolutely amazing 1:1 training for our little Monty. Tess has really helped us with his recall and I’ve been amazed at how quickly he’s picked it up (considering how he was when we tried on our own!) We would recommend to anyone needing even just a little bit of extra help. Thank you, Tess

Just finished the puppy training course with Tess, she’s worked wonders with my little staffie covered more than I expected she’s been amazing with helping me train her as she is my first pup! Looking forward to going to the puppy socials togethers to continue teaching her many new things

DOTTY

I can’t recommend Happy Paws Dog Walking & Training more highly. Tess is so knowledgeable and amazingly patient (with my dog and me!). Dottie was such a nervous anxious puppy who is really starting to develop and showing her true colours. So couldn’t be happier. Thank you
