I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A QUALIFIED DOG TRAINER AND FULL MEMBER OF THE IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers). At Four Paws Dog Training, I pride myself on being a small, friendly and reliable pet care and dog training business. Having cats and dogs of my own, I will only treat your pets with the care and af

fection I give my own. I understand that each and every pet is individual and therefore offer a tailored service to each of my clients. But don't take my word for it, please check out my testimonials! Dog Training and Behaviour Consultations

I am a Qualified Dog Trainer offering behavioural one-to-one consultations for you and your beloved pet. Puppy Classes

I also offer group Puppy Socialisation and Training classes as well as Puppy Agility courses in Ash and Mayford, Surrey. I can also come to your home for a Puppy Starter consult if required. Dog Walking, Cat Sitting and Puppy Home Visits

Also, I offer a professional dog walking and cat sitting service in the Ash Parish and surrounding areas. Dog Agility Classes

I run Four Paws Agility Club, a fun dog agility club, offering group lessons for dogs of all breeds and ages. The classes are held in a Floodlit indoor menage in Mayford, Surrey. I AM VERY PROUD TO BE A QUALIFIED DOG TRAINER AND FULL MEMBER OF THE IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers)

My name is Ellen Davies. I grew up with dogs, cats and horses and have always found it fascinating to see how they behave and learn. I started out working in pet shops whilst at School then a few years later in 2004 I decided to go to college to become a Veterinary Nurse. I qualified in 2010 and went on to be the Head Veterinary Nurse in a Veterinary Surgery in the outskirts of Woking. I have always had the ambition to work for myself so shortly after achieving my Veterinary Nursing qualification, I started up my own small business looking after peoples cats and dogs whilst owners where away. This then spread to dog walking and cat sitting on a more regular basis. (See Dog Walking/Holiday Pet Care pages)

After many years of attending a dog agility club with my little Jack Russell, Marley, I decided my passion extended to dog training. In 2010 I opened my own dog agility club and am so very proud of Four Paws Agility Club in Mayford , Surrey. I decided to open a 'Fun Agility Club' as i found the pressure of competing for some dog owners can put them off of starting such an amazing sport. (See Four Paws Agility Club page)

Soon after starting my agility club I took the necessary qualifications needed to become a Dog Trainer. I own two rescue dogs that have a past of being badly mistreated by previous owners and I know from experience how hard it is to overcome their experiences and move forward towards a better life. Using the techniques I was taught and adapting my lifestyle for the better, my dogs are now much more relaxed and can just be dogs without stress. I have continued to offer 1-2-1 home consultations to help owners and their dogs to achieve the same success I have. (See Dog Training/Behaviour page). In addition to home consultations, I also run Four Paws Puppy Training and Socialisation on a Tuesday evening and Saturday morning in Ash and Mayford, Surrey. As I had had such great success with my home consultations for adult dogs, I realised it would be greatly benificial to run puppy classes to help prevent behavioural problems in the future. Using my dog training background, I train and advise owners how best to raise their puppies to be happy, well rounded and well socialised in the most natural and positive way. In addition to puppy training, I also offer Puppy Agility and Obedience courses. (See Puppy Training page and Dog Training/behaviour page). Qualifications

Well last night was one of the worst evenings we’ve experienced for a very long time.

Our poor baby Buttons had a seizure, the first she’s ever had and it was a long one. To say I was terrified would be an understatement.

Thank goodness we were lucky and she came out of her seizure before arriving at the vets and is back home recovering.

Buttons is only 5 years old but being half Cocker Spaniel, it’s likely she has epilepsy.

Time will tell as to the cause of her seizure as nothing can be done (apart from bloods that have all come back clear) until she’s had multiple seizures so it really is a very worrying time for all of us.

Please keep fingers crossed for our gorgeous girl. ❤️

Life’s a Beach 🏖️ 🐶!

I had a fantastic Dog Reactivity training session with this absolute beauty yesterday morning and there’s no better place to train than at the beach!

This lovely lady can be reactive to dogs she sees out on walks as she is very anxious and hasn’t learned how to appropriately interact with others. She was adopted by her current owner just a few months ago and her wonderful owner is doing everything she can to help her dog to gain confidence around others and enjoy their walks together.

I have to say that our first session went extremely well, this lady did so very well around the other dogs that were at the beach and showed real promise. We even ended the session with a lovely game of fetch with her favourite ball! 🥎

We will continue our sessions on a regular basis to gain more confidence and progress her training. Next week one of my dogs will be joining us on the session too!

If you have a dog who suffers with anxiety and reactivity, please do contact me to see if I can help.

Do you remember this little rescue Jack Russell Terrier that I’ve been working with for a while?

She can be extremely reactive to other dogs and sometimes people too but wow, what an improvement!!

I’ve been working with this little lady and her brilliant owner since July and she’s gone from a dog that reacted if she saw another dog over the other side of a field to this little lady that can now have a lovely walk and a sniff with not only my elderly dog Ruby but now my little Emmy too!! This is MASSIVE PROGRESS!!

We saw LOADS of dogs at the beach today and as long as we kept our distance, little lady was able to cope for the most part of our session. I’m so proud of this little lady!!

We saw a bright light at the end of what we thought was a very long tunnel today so I’m sure we can get to the stage where she can walk happily with her owner when out in public in the not too distant future if we can keep up the good work!

I have to say that this little dogs owner is one of the nicest and most dedicated dog owners I think I’ve ever met so the progress in the training is a real testament to her hard work and commitment.

This little dog could have very easily have been returned to the rescue centre and a lot of adopters wouldn’t have had the strength and determination to stick it out but thankfully for little Pip, she’s landed on her paws with her amazing mummy! 🥰🐶

📣 📣 Just to also announce that today’s dog anxiety training session was my little girl, Emmys FIRST EVER SOLO SESSION without her sister (my other rescue dog) to help and guide her!! Emmy did INCREDIBLY WELL!! I’m extremely proud of you today Emmy!! West Wales Poundies Dog Rescue, you would have been so proud to see how well Emmy did today, Lianne! 🥰❤️

If you have a dog who struggles in social situations, please do get in touch to see if I can help.

Back to work today and more teeth to be cleaned!

This gorgeous little dog came to me for his first visit this morning. He was such a sweet little boy, a real pleasure to have in my treatment room. We had A LOT of cuddles!

As you can see, he had a very thick build up of tartar on most of his teeth but I was able to remove most of it so he is now more comfortable. Unfortunately his top incisors (front teeth) were too far gone and need removing so has been referred to the vet for further treatment.

Ideally I’ll see this dog regularly (every 2-3 months) once the vet has completed their treatment in order to keep these teeth clean and healthy.

If you’d like me to clean your dogs teeth please contact me for details and to make a booking. 🦷

Fantastic progress made by this little Jack Russell this week! This little lady is highly reactive to other dogs so we’re working very hard to build confidence and a more positive relationship to other dogs. I worked my little elderly Cavalier with her first this morning and by the end of our session, they’d started to make friends and were having a lovely walk and sniff about together. 🥰 It’s safe to say both dogs were very tired by the end of the session! We still have a long way to go as we need to build these positive experiences with different dogs and in different locations but it’s a great start and we’re very optimistic that one day she’ll be able to walk down the street/park/beach without reacting to others. Have you got a dog reactive dog that you need some help with? If so, please do get in touch to see if I can help you. 🐶 www.fourpawsdogtraining.uk [email protected] / 07590 620552 #fourpawsdogtraining #dogtrainingcarmarthenshire #dogtrainingpembrokeshire #dogtraining

👏 Fantastic Progress with this gorgeous dog, well done! 🐶 This little dog is dog reactive, barking and lunging at dogs he sees outside on his walks. He doesn’t know how to appropriately greet other dogs, therefore tries to control the situation with inappropriate behaviour. Today was our second session together using my two dogs as stooges. By the end of our session today, this gorgeous boy had managed an off lead play with my elderly spaniel and then a lovely sniff side by side with my younger dog, Buttons 🥰. 🥰 I’m so proud of him and the progress he has made! We are not done yet though, still lots of work to do to ensure he relaxes on his walks with other dogs that he comes across. If you need help with your reactive or nervous dogs, please do get in touch and hopefully can help you too. 🌎 www.fourpawsdogtraining.uk ✉️ [email protected] ☎️ 07590 620552 #dogtraining #fourpawsdogtraining

Now see how far this gorgeous little Jack Russell came on by the end of the session! Just a reminder that this little dog is highly dog reactive and we went from lunging and barking at my dog at a distance to this lovely greeting in just ONE SESSION! Every dog needs to work to their own pace so it of dogs will take longer to get to this stage and that’s absolutely fine, we never want to rush them. There’s still lots of work to do with this little lady but we’re feeling so positive by her progress in such a short space of time. 🐶 I’ll continue to work with this dog and her lovely owner on a regular basis until we’re happy to sign off but I’ll remain in contact as often as the owner needs. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT NO HARSH PUNISHMENT TECNIQUES WERE USED AND NO AVERSIVE EQUIPMENT! THIS WAS ALL ACHIEVED IN A HARNESS AND LEAD USING ONLY POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT TRAINING! If you need help with your dog, please do contact me for more information. www.fourpawsdogtraining.uk [email protected] / 07590 620552 #fourpawsdogtraining #dogtraining #dogtrainingcarmarthenshire #dogtrainingpembrokeshire

Amazing progress with a highly dog reactive Jack Russel this morning! This is how the little dog reacted when she saw my dog, Ruby at this distance (we worked hard to get to this distance, we didn’t start the session here) The dog is barking and lunging as soon as she comes out and spots another dog in the distance. Now watch the next video to see how far we got in just ONE session today! www.fourpawsdogtraining.uk [email protected] / 07590 620552 #fourpawsdogtraining #dogtrainingcarmarthenshire #dogtrainingpembrokeshire #dogtraining
