We have been taking Eva to Pawsome Pals sessions for a few months now. We've had the opportunity to take her swimming, all organised and supervised by the trainers. I would have really struggled with that just going on our own, as Eva is very nervous around water.
We also had a real-life pub situation, where we were fully supported in taking our dogs to a local very dog-friendly pub. This really helped build our confidence about taking her to social places in the future.
As well as our weekly sessions, which focus on lots of different aspects, such as loose lead walking, we get a discount for use of The Potterings enclosed field and 10% off things in the Potter Paws shop - we get through a lot of chews and bones, so this is definitely useful!
We have had personal support from the trainer's in a private WhatsApp group to support us with understanding our dog's behaviours, uploading videos of examples, etc. and it's great to have this 1:1 support too.
We're looking forward to learning lots more in our sessions over the coming months. Pawsome Pals and the other workshops we have attended with Eva from when she was a tiny puppy, have given us confidence and knowledge to improve the way we look after Eva - playing with her, walking her, recall activities in an enclosed field, tricks, and much more.

Love going to our weekly Pawsome Pals sessions where we are trained, along with our dogs, in day to day dog activities/challenges as well as fun activities such as parkour.
Really useful that, included in our membership, we can also join in weekly zoom sessions, have 15 minute 1:1 talk with one of the trainers if we need to, attend various members events and lots more!
My dog is quite reactive in certain situations. With guidance from our trainers things have improved greatly. On going advice continues our progress.

I take Harley training on Tuesdays. After an accident I felt I’d lost my confidence a bit and thought regular training would help.
Debbie and Tash are great, very calm, knowledgeable and encouraging.
Harley and I enjoy our training sessions and have learned lots. I like that we do different things every week and revisit training exercises rather than doing the same thing every week. It keeps Harley interested in his training.
There are lots of one off workshops and more specialist courses. We have done a Hoopers workshop and are planning on doing a sniffers / tracking course in the future.
I’m really happy with the training and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

We absolutely love Pawsome Pals! We work towards Pawcademy grades which include a variety of useful, everyday skills, but we also have weeks where we do tasters of other classes such as sniffers, hoopers and fungility (Poppy’s favourite)! We also love the themed weeks around occasions like Halloween and Christmas! Apart from the skills we learn in class it is a great opportunity for Poppy to practice being calm and settling around other dogs as well as engagement and focus on me. As with everything Poppy has good and bad weeks but there is absolutely no judgement when she gets zoomies mid class! I also love that it’s some time each week that is completely dedicated to Poppy and her training.
Being a member means that you meet with the same likeminded people every week and have a support network within which you can have catch up and a laugh! There are always opportunities in class to ask the trainer any specific questions you might have and members are able to attend a coffee and chat once a month, again to ask any specific questions. Recently I have asked so many questions as Poppy has been suffering with a stubborn ear infection which has affected her behaviour and we have felt so supported by Tash, Debbie and our class mates, I cannot thank them all enough! There are also members events sporadically throughout the year that we enjoy taking part in!
Also Poppy LOVES Tash! ❤️

We have been taking Cable to Pawsome Pals for a number of years now - its is perfect for our on going training, learning next tricks and skills and to keep topping up his social and general obedience skills around other dogs.
Debbie and Tash are always thinking up of new things each week so no two sessions feel the same.
This has certainly become our go to Saturday activity come rain or shine!

I love going to Pawsome Pals knowing that Logan and I are going to spend time with like minded people who all want the best for their dog and we are very well supported with the help of the trainers Debbie and Tash.
Come rain or shine we are there in the field (unless in lockdown!) and I love how the training is relaxed, fun and so rewarding! We learn practical skills that can be applied anywhere and it has helped Logan socially having distractions but still listen and focus on me and it has helped me to build confidence and trust in him.

Pawsom pals you have been a life saver! Ruby loves the weekly class and fun activities and it is great to be up, out and back with a sleepy pup all by 10am on a Saturday.
Having only just graduated from juniors I worried that Ruby and I would be playing catch up but everything is done at your own pace with is just what we needed. Ruby and I continue to strengthen our bond while playing and having fun. Seeing the same people each week gives you a sense of belonging especially if I have had a tough week.
