Bowland K9 Training

Paul is a very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable trainer. His sessions are easy going, you mix with dogs of various ages, abilities and personalities which gives both insight and understanding of not just how your own dog should behave but how other dogs may behave. I like that the sessions are flexible. Paul also sends a lot of training videos to practice at home and helpful information about dog intelligence. I have been on 3 sessions with a German Shepherd puppy and would definitely recomme...

I contacted Paul initially to discuss what training he could offer for my bird orientated cocker spaniel. He suggested a block of 5 1:1 sessions and we began working on recall, obedience and focus. During the training sessions Paul would offer advice and use different techniques to achieve results. He has a wealth of knowledge, is friendly and extremely patient! Between each session we were given areas to work on and Paul was available to contact with any problems. He encouraged me to video ...

Paul has changed my outlook on training my two dogs. I was looking at re homing my Yorkshire terrier, but thanks to Paul’s calming and great nature towards the dog he has managed to transform his character and has given me the skills to continue this.

So a massive thank you to Paul I now have a dog for life. He comes ...

He has basic commands but is easily distracted. He gets overly excited when he se...

Paul has worked wonders with me and my Red Fox Lab Ruby. In just a few lessons she went from the worst lead puller in the world to walking alongside with loose lead and full attention on me. There's still a long way to go in our joint learning as owner and dog, but I know Paul will continue to provide excellent coaching, feedback and actionable exercises to get us to where we want to be. Highly recommended.
