Kind, Modern Dog Training in Wigan

Welcome to Paws ‘n’ Heal Wigan, where every dog is treated as an individual – not just a tick-box learner.

Whether you’ve just welcomed a wriggly new pup or your adolescent dog is making up their own rules, we’re here to help you navigate dog ownership with clarity, kindness and confidence.

Led by Rochelle, a qualified behaviourist and experienced trainer. Our classes are small, force-free and tailored to real life. Therefore, we’re not just in the training hall.

About Rochelle

Founder of Paws ‘n’ Heal, I’m Rochelle – an IMDT-certified dog trainer and a qualified behaviourist. Furthermore, I’m an approved Kids Around Dogs (KAD) professional and have hands-on experience with rescue, reactive and imported dogs.
