Rating: Potter paws is fantastic, Debbie provides so much insight into the way the dog is “thinking” and to understand the body language and how to make your puppy tick, which then really supports with the bonding and ultimately training to a high standard. I’ve done puppy training elsewhere with my first dog and was very basic and no “science” involved. Potter paws teaches you the importance of the mental stimulation and how this really benefits your dog, which isn’t an area which many focus on. I would highly recommend, you’re also put at ease, puppies are incredibly hard work, you don’t feel alone in this process and potter paws really supports with this to get the best results! I’ve booked my older dog onto the life skills course in July as I’m that impressed! Thank you again and I look forward to booking more courses to ensure my dog and puppy have a happy life and we do too!

Rating: We had our Puppy booked in for pawsome puppies at the beginning of the year. It was all online classes via zoom due to covid and it was excellent. It covered everything we wanted to for our new puppy and we still keep up with the skills we learnt from Tash. We can’t thank her enough for all the help received.
We will be looking to do another course hopefully towards the end of the year where we can interact our dog with others. I would highly recommend potter paws for all puppy/ dog training and needs.

Rating: I attended Pawsome Puppies classes with my little Amy from age 10 weeks back in December, as it's 20 years since I last had puppies.
We attended the first 3 sessions in person and the rest via zoom. I wasn't sure how or even if it would work via zoom, but it absolutely did. Tash was great - so knowledgeable and experienced, and I learned so much from her in the sessions, as well as feeling reassured by hearing from other puppy owners. Their zoom sessions on other general issues such as biting, were also a life-saver. Just knowing they are there and available to ask questions helps me feel reassured.
I would definitely recommend Potter Paws and look forward to attending more training in the future.
Thank you Debbie and Tash!

Rating: Completed the puppy course with Hugo our cockapoo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Having never owned a dog before we were very grateful for Debbie’s help and guidance, she always had time to answer all our questions and made us more relaxed parents to our new puppy. Would definitely recommend.

Rating: Pawsome Puppies was a brilliant introduction to training. We experienced both face-to-face classes and then, when lockdown 2 came along, zoom classes. I have to say although different, both types of class were equally as good! Fun and informative classes, personalised help if you need it and Hettie loved it. Having gone through puppy training a few times before, I can honestly say that Pawsome Puppies was by far the best. Now just to try and decide which awesome class to do next.....

Rating: We really enjoyed our puppy classes despite the majority of them being on zoom. I actually found it less stressful and meant that I could focus on our pup. The areas we covered were all helpful and it was great that we could talk about issues we were facing at the beginning of each session which ensured that the material was tailored appropriately. We are now building on the foundations in the puppy junior class which is an amazing follow on to to ensure we continue to head in the right direction. Thank you for all your help and advice.

Rating: Originally booked with Pawsome Pups before Xmas, as were the only classes being run that I could find still being 'physically' (socially distanced) run, and was a bit wary of the success of 'Zoom' classes. However, after 2 sessions, the country was plunged into lockdown and Zoom was the only way to go!
Only 3 pups in our class, so it was very personal training! The Zoom method works a lot better than I thought it would and with the homework given at the end of each class, I was motivated to work with Ralphie, our Bearded Collie pup, every week and able to give positive feedback on his progress at every class and discuss all the problems that crop up with most puppies! I thought that he would miss the 'socialisation' aspect of the physical classes, but there have been plenty of dogs and people out for their lockdown 'exercise' on Ralphie's walkies - he has probably met many more than he ever would have done had we been in our 'normal' world!
Highly recommend Potter Paws - a good introduction to training for your puppy. Have fun with your pups - they grow so fast!🐾🐾

Rating: We attended Pawsome Pups with our cocker and were delighted with the classes with both Debbie and Tash!
The classes helped us to create great foundations in a fun and relaxed environment. We learnt lots about pups behaviours, body language and mental stimulation and always had the chance to ask any questions specific to us and our pup! Thank you Debbie and Tash!

Rating: After our 1-1 sessions with Debbie (which were brilliant, especially as we'd never had a puppy before and really needed some expert guidance!), we signed up for Pawsome Puppies and the classes have been so helpful. Debbie is a very knowledgeable teacher with a fun and common sense approach to training and has an answer to any question you can think of. There is no pressure at any class, and both my puppy and I really enjoy the sessions. My puppy Winston is now 19 weeks old and is a really contented little dog whose training is going well. We'll definitely be signing up to further courses with Potter Paws and highly recommend them.

Rating: We really enjoyed the Pawsome Puppy classes. It was a great class to learn the basic skills we needed to be able to communicate with Bert and learning all the different body languages. Bert also realyl enjoyed the social side to the class and getting to meet other puppies. It was also very helpful to hear other peoples problems with their puppy and realise it wasnt just Bert wanting to bite us :-)Debbie and Tash are great trainers and would high reccomend this class if you have just got a puppy. We will definitely be doing some more courses in the future.

Rating: I completed the pawsome puppies classes with our Cockapoo puppy Leah very recently, and we both loved very minute of it, she ran to the field each week ! Both Debbie and Tash are very knowledgeable and approachable also having plenty of suggestions to help with any problem you may have. The chat sessions at the beginning of classes were insightful into what other issues everyone else was having. We joined up to our next class straight away as we didn't want to lose the good work we had done. Will also look at joining the sniffer classes after christmas.

Rating: We attended the Pawsome Puppies Classes with our Cockapoo and I would thoroughly recommend them. Debbie and Tash are so knowledgable and we learnt so much doing the course, with the chance to ask loads of questions I had as a first time puppy owner! The fact it was held in a field was lovely as it was easier to spread out and there was no embarrassment if the dogs needed the toilet! The classes weren’t pressurised and the dogs weren’t forced into socialising until they were ready to, and then it was done in a controlled way. I also recommend the harness hiring scheme that they offer - they fit beautifully and we are on our 4th size already so it’s saved us a lot of money. We will definitely do some more courses with Potter Paws in the future.

Rating: I took our Golden Retriever to two Puppy Socials not long after the lock down restrictions enabled us to and it provided a perfect opportunity for him to meet and socialise with other dogs really for the first time in a safe environment. Also got some invaluable tips on how to manage interactions with other dogs.

Rating: We did our Pawsome Puppies course online, which initially we weren't sure how it would work but was so worthwhile. We learnt lots of strategies on beginning to train your puppy and the information we learnt and the knowledge shared by Debbie and Tash has been invaluable over the last 3 months and has provided a great basis as our Golden Retriever grows and develops. Have no hesitation in recommending Potter Paws to friends.

Rating: Thank you for a fantastic course! We got so much out of it - Woody has matured so much over these 8 weeks! We've developed a lovely bond through your suggested activities and techniques, and so many people comment on his good behaviour and training already! We will be back for more for sure, thank you!

Rating: We had a wonderful time learning new skills and building a great relationship with Winston. This course offered us the opportunity to build a long lasting bond with our puppy and made sure we learnt a few tricks along the way. It want just about different learning sit but also how to manage new behaviours and experiences for Winston. We really enjoyed the course and cant wait for Life Skills to start.

Rating: Thank you for all your advice and support, Logan and I have learnt so much from this class, even though it has been virtual due to these difficult times I have gone away more confident knowing how I can give our puppy a good start in life and have really enjoyed the classes. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for puppy classes, we are already moving on to Houndschool and look forward to learning much more. Thank you.

Rating: We did this course with our little Flattie and she loved it. It was great to meet other puppies in a safe environment; it was a small class so she could give us lots of attention and in a fenced off field which was very natural and open. We learned a lot and so did the pupster. We would definitely go back as our doggie grows as there’s always something to learn and Debbie teaches in a relaxed and fun way.

Rating: As Archie was our first dog as a couple, my husband and I knew we’d need a helping hand to ensure we were managing his behaviour and ensuring we had a great relationship. The Pawsome Puppies class was a great way to kick that off, covering all of the expected commands mixed in with a lot of unexpected activities, tips and takeaways. Debbie was always on hand to answer any question, is an incredibly patient and positive trainer, and makes the whole process a joy. The focus on positive reinforcement and understanding behaviour has ensured we’re able to build an incredible relationship with our puppy - something we’re continuing to develop via sniffer dog classes and I’m sure many more in the future too!

Rating: Bertie is the third dog I have taken to puppy training classes over the years, and Potterpaws is by far the best training class I have been to. We learnt loads from the training that is helping us to teach Bertie to know what behaviour we want from him and for him to be happy to perform whatever task it is we want him to do. We have learnt calm behaviour, sitting and being relaxed, recall, sit, lay down, stand, socialising with others and being confident with unusual things. We have also learnt that training is fun for Bertie and stimulates his brain too. Bertie has been our calmest, least destructive and best behaved puppy. I am sure this training class (and the chews Debbie sells!) has been largely responsible for us achieving that. It has given Bertie a great start and has given us a happy dog who the whole family can enjoy training/playing with. We will be back for further courses as he grows up!

Rating: I booked Potter Paws puppy training when I got my first puppy.. I have never owned a dog before so felt like training was a must especially with having such a stubborn breed! Kiko (my pup) absolutely loved Potter Paws! The layout was fab and was catered for all types of pups and personalities. The training was easy to follow and very personalised if needed! I've taken away so much from puppy training which otherwise I wouldn't have known therefore highly recommend training with Debbie!
