“Kirsty has been brilliant. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t found her. Poppy is my first dog and she has been a challenge to say the least. The little monkey came with no off switch and although I had been trying my best to do reward based training I just wasn’t getting anywhere. Kirsty came along and was very understanding and friendly, and with her help Poppy is gradually making progress. I can’t rate her highly enough… she has saved my sanity!”

“I cannot recommend Kirsty enough! Our initial training enquiry was for loose lead walking however, she has helped with so much more than that. The difference in our puppy’s behaviour in less than 6 months was amazing. We’ve learnt lots of tricks to prevent the spaniel craziness and she now walks brilliantly to heel (when reminded!) More importantly the training sessions are fun for everyone and Kirsty is so patient and encouraging – even on the ‘bad’ days.”

“Kirsty has taught me to be more confident and trust Layla she is so laid back and relaxed it makes u feel the same so thanks Kirsty”

“Kirsty is amazing, she helped me and my very nervous young Whippet, Daisy, to cope with situations that scared her. Kirsty gave me great insight into what happens when Daisy becomes stressed, and showed me how to distract her using treat rewards, and build her confidence with games. We see Kirsty on a monthly basis as this helps both me and my girl. I thoroughly enjoy learning more and more about dog behaviour, and these monthly sessions certainly help Daisy to build up her confidence. I can highly recommend Kirsty.”

“Kirsty is fantastic! Jerry adores her and has done since he was a pup! I now have her walk him once a week, to break up his time coming to work with me. He’s so excited to see her which says a lot about the way Kirsty is with our fur babies! I trust her 100% and know how passionate she is about her work.”

“Evie is my first dog….a very bright, lively and inquisitive Cocker Spaniel. I looked at online training videos but I needed someone to reassure me that what I was doing was effective. Kirsty is an amazing trainer who’s depth of knowledge about how dogs learn is second to none. We had one to one training and it was a tailor made programme to ensure that you can focus on what you want your dog to achieve. I have learnt so much and I feel more confident now on how to get the best from Evie. I highly recommend Kirsty and if I need any specific training for Evie in the future then I shall look no further than Paws2Pawfection. Thank you Kirsty for your patience and for being so supportive and encouraging.”

“My 2 year old Lab Harry and I have had such fun learning together under Kirsty’s expert tuition. Her dog psychology is absolutely common sense, but she really helped me to see where to begin and how to progress with understanding my newly acquired canine friend. We’ve now bonded really well and our trust in each other has grown so that I can now walk Harry with confidence (and pockets full of food). All our sessions were tailored to our needs, with fun exercises to build into our playtimes each day. I recommend Kirsty’s training without hesitation 5⭐

“Kirsty has been great! Can’t recommend her enough.. She tailored our sessions to exactly what I needed/wanted to focus on and I now feel confident that my dog will listen to me.”

“Kirsty walks Rex and Harry for us twice a week. She is so reliable, there is no-one we would trust more. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviours and needs. They love their walks with her and get so excited when she arrives to take them out!”
