School For Paws are relocating!!!

We are sorry to inform all our clients in the Odiham, Hampshire area that Emma Collings of School For Paws will be  relocating in September 08 to Knockin Heath, Shropshire. Knockin Heath is situated close to Shrewsbury and Oswestry and we will be offering 1-2-1 services, classes and agility. This may be sad for all our regular clients but exciting for us with possible exiting new ventures on the horizon with Victoria Stilwell! However, we do hope to recruit a new member of staff to take over School For Paws in the Odiham area.  We will keep you posted. 

In the meantime, agility will continue with our regular clients but we unfortunately will not be taking on new clients now.  1-2-1 training will continue through to August 08 or until a new trainer is recruited.    We apologise for the inconvenience.

I will be posting a list of trainers that I know and highly recommend, so that you all have somewhere else to go for all your training and agility needs.

School For Paws originated in 2005 running puppy and adult dog training classes. Our aims have always been to provide kind, effective methods of training for the pet dog owner and to promote responsible dog ownership. Since then School For Paws have developed a successful business in encouraging pet dog owners to understand their canine companions by teaching people how to think more like a dog and understand why a dog behaves the way they do. School For Paws will visit you and your dog within your home and offer you a 1-2-1 training session.

By working with the dog using your body language, understanding the canine mind, becoming a good leader to your canine friend, you soon will have a well-behaved and happy dog in your home. All training is simple and easy to do, you will learn to become a leader first in the home and have control and then be shown simple training methods to help control your dog, for example, walking on the lead, recall and building a good relationship etc.
