Perfect Paws Aim and Values
Our Aim
At Perfect Paws Personal Dog Training, our aim is to work closely with you and your dog to create a training programme that is simple, effective, and enjoyable to follow. We take the time to ensure both you and your dog fully understand the cues, skills, and behaviours being taught, breaking everything down into clear, achievable steps that build confidence rather than overwhelm.
Our focus goes beyond teaching individual skills—we help you embed those behaviours so they become reliable, long‑lasting, and part of your dog’s everyday life. Training shouldn’t fade over time; it should grow stronger with practice, consistency, and the right support.
We’re here to help you build a strong, positive bond with your dog—one rooted in trust, communication, and mutual understanding. Through patient guidance and a tailored approach that respects your dog’s personality, pace, and needs, we aim to help you develop a well‑rounded, confident, and emotionally balanced companion.
Whether you’re raising a puppy, supporting a rescue, or working through behavioural challenges, our goal is to give your dog the tools they need to navigate the world with ease, resilience, and joy.
Our Values
At Perfect Paws Personal Dog Training, our values shape every session, every interaction, and every success story. They guide how we work with you and your dog, ensuring training is not only effective but also kind, supportive, and enjoyable.
🐾 Compassion
We believe every dog deserves patience, understanding, and respect. Training should feel safe and positive, helping your dog learn with confidence rather than fear.
🐾 Clarity
Clear communication is at the heart of great training. We focus on making cues, skills, and guidance easy for both you and your dog to understand, so learning feels natural and achievable.
🐾 Consistency
Reliable behaviours come from consistent practice. We help you embed skills in a way that lasts, ensuring they don’t fade over time and become part of your dog’s everyday life.
🐾 Partnership
Training is a team effort. We work alongside you, supporting and empowering you to feel confident, capable, and connected throughout your dog’s learning journey.
🐾 Positivity
We celebrate progress, big or small. Our approach is rooted in positive reinforcement, building trust and strengthening the bond between you and your dog.
🐾 Growth
Every dog—and every owner—has the potential to thrive. We’re committed to helping you develop a well‑rounded, happy dog with the skills they need to navigate the world with ease.

"Taz has been fantastic in helping us with training tips for Clara. Her guidance has made a big difference—Clara now enjoys being in her crate and responds well to basic commands like sit and lay down. We're currently working on heel and focus, and I'm already seeing progress. Looking forward to continuing the training journey with Taz."

Outstanding Dog Trainer
Taz has been amazing with my dog, Reggie, After struggling with getting Reggie in the crate and basic obedience, I saw a huge improvement in just the first session. Taz is very knowledgeable, patient, and clearly loves what she does. Training was effective, positive, and tailored to mine and Reggies needs. I highly recommend Taz to anyone looking for real results and a better bond with their dog!"

"Taz is hands down the best decision we made for our 10 month Old English Sheepdog puppy, as we felt completely out of our depth - Maple had such a high prey drive, such high energy and we were constantly struggling to get her attention. Since our 1:1 training sessions with Taz, Maple's entire demeanor has transformed, she is able to control her impulses and actually focus her attention on us, only after 3 sessions! We have chosen a package course of puppy training and it is genuinely invaluable!!
I spent a lot of years underestimating how clever dogs actually are, and after learning with Taz how their brains work, I quickly realised that us humans are the silly ones!
Thank you for everything you have taught us so far Taz - we are so looking forward to the rest of our sessions!"

After just a few training sessions starting with things we do in the house our little girl Rubie enjoys her walks. She was such an anxious girl out walking barking at everything and everyone. She goes out more relaxed, looks happy and when barks will soon stop with a handful of treats. Thank you Taz the walks are becoming so much more calmer and pleasant to do. Hard work pays off. She also has learnt not to respond to the door bell a lot calmer. Looking forward to some more training sessions. She looks so happy and eager to learn.
