One to one training

Qualified, experienced and affordable Dog Trainer in Clacton on Sea. An initial home visit from myself costs from £60 for 2 hours and are entirely tailored to you and your dog.

These one to one dog training sessions are perfect for people who have an older dog with behavioural and training issues. They will help you understand why your dog is behaving this way and how best to deal with it.

Home visits for puppies

An initial home visit costs from £30 for 1 hour and is entirely tailored to you and your puppy. These one-to-one dog training sessions are perfect for people who have a new dog and lots of questions. Great for helping you avoid problems with your dog in future and tackling any issues you might already be experiencing.

Structured dog walks

Join me for an on-lead socialisation walk with some members of my ‘dog’ pack. During this time you can ask me any questions you wish about your dog or any issues you are having. From £5.00 per walk.

Dog psychology

Does your dog have a particular behaviour or phobia that is causing you concern? We can devise a behavioural modification programme to help you resolve a host of issues.

Dog psychology & behaviour services start at £25 for up to two hours, though longer visits may be needed.

Dog socialisation

A group walk service for people who feel their dog would benefit from a long walk and socialisation with other dogs. Each session is for two hours (including collection and return).  This service is ideal for those dogs who love to play with a ‘friend’. Your dog is guaranteed a fun and constructive time whilst under strict control – and will return tired and happy!

Group walk/socialisation sessions are £16 for two hours with each additional dog from the same home half price. For more information and customer feedback contact us.

Thinking about getting a puppy or an adult dog?  We can discuss which breed is best suited to your lifestyle, give tips on maing your dog's new home safe and secure, and answer any questions you might have. We can also advise on the best way to train, feed and socialise your new dog with a tailored programme to help you. Sessions cost from £15 for up to two hours, though longer visits may be needed.

Don't take our word for it...

  • After just one meeting with Perfect Paws my dog’s behavior has been transformed, the session was full of helpful tips and advice. Paula is so friendly and informative can’t thank her enough for the improvement in my dog’s behavior, great service….and with a smile. Highly recommended.

  • Paula was great, very knowledgable, kind, and friendly. Paula answered all our questions and gave us lots of great advice. As we have a large breed puppy we were particularly worried. However we are now a lot more confident about walking our pup. One step at a time.

  • Paula came to help me with my very unruly german shepherd dog Teddy. Because I was having a lot of trouble walking him and controlling him when on a walk with other dogs. After just one session Ted is so much better Paula has given me the tools to carry on myself, thank you.
