Frequently asked questions
What type of training do you provide?
We provide training utilising positive reinforcement. We are against the use of aversives and will not promote the use of e-collars, prong collars, grots or similar tools to teach your dog new tricks. As an Institute of Modern Dog Trainers accredited trainer, Paws ‘n’ Heal follows a strict code of ethics laid out by the IMDT which can be found here.
How many sessions will I need?
It really depends on the dog and the severity of the issue however, progress can be achieved with every session.
Do you solve every problem?
We’re committed to giving 100% to every dog that needs our help. Despite extensive experience and knowledge, there may be an enquiry that is beyond our remit. We are happy, and able to refer to a pool of positive minded professionals with more relevant expertise should this be the case. A refund would be issued in this instance.
What breeds do you accept?
We accept all dogs and have a particular interest in primitive breeds and adult rescues.
Can I enrol my XL bully in your courses?
We welcome XL bullies and are insured to work with them under the following requirements:-
- We would require a copy of their exemption certificate and third party liability insurance before enrolment.
- They are welcome to participate in classes but they would be required to be on lead and muzzled at all times.
- We can provide 1-2-1 training for unmuzzled and unleashed dogs subject to appropriate assessment in client’s homes or at secure fields.
- Dogs are required to be neutered and microchipped
What age can I enrol my puppy?
Training can start at any age. Group classes would require puppies to have finished their vaccination program, but 1-2-1 sessions can be carried out at home from as soon as they arrive.
What if I want to cancel?
We require payment for all sessions at least 48 hours before booking. Should you wish to cancel, we require 24 hours notice and a full refund will be issued for this. A 50% refund would be issued for any cancellations within this 24 hour notice period. Refunds will not be issued once a course or consultation has commenced.
