Paws For Thought Dog Training Edinburgh

★★★★★

“We recently completed our five weeks of Puppy Classes with our gentle little GSD Mona and we (dog and human alike) had an amazing time! The socialisation element was handled so well and it meant that the pups had a really good go at having plenty of positive experiences with other dogs, something you can’t always rely on whilst on walks. It was so satisfying and rewarding to see Mona being able to apply what she’d experienced in class to real life situations and the extra guidance we received for our puppy specifically was really sound and has been so helpful in these early months. By the end of term, Mona recognised where we were going each Sunday and would pull and pull to get in she was so excited. Looking forward to continuing with the next stage!”

“We had an amazing time at the 5 week Puppy Course Julie is professional, assertive and full of wisdom while making a fun and interactive experience over the 5 week block. My puppy found the class highly enjoyable and was able to grasp all the exercises we tried. She went out of her way multiple times to tailor the class to the puppies and giving me superb extra advice about separation. The classes feel safe and in control at all times with great help from Julie’s superb assistant Kirsten. Julie was great for sending recap info for practice outside the classroom that my wife and I really enjoyed practicing with our puppy round the house. We will 100% be back for the follow on classes. Thank you again Julie”

“I attended two different training courses with my puppy Chilli, a total of 10 weeks (5 weeks for each course): the Puppy Class and the Beginner Class. We are very happy with the results. Julie’s explanations and demonstrations were always clear and easy to follow. The assistants were also very attentive — whenever I felt overwhelmed or a bit clumsy, someone would quickly step in to help, which made a big difference. The lessons focused on practical and useful commands that help dogs integrate smoothly into everyday family life. It wasn’t about teaching flashy tricks to show off, but about building good habits and real-life skills. The training has been incredibly helpful for us, and I can see real improvements in Chilli. Highly recommended!”
