Fraggle's Paws

Fraggle's Paws Every dog deserves to live their best life ever filled with snuggles, adventures and fun walks.

My name is Nicola and, after 46yrs working in accounts including 18yrs teaching adults, I am now following my passion of working with dogs through my business "Fraggle's Paws" as a qualified dog trainer with IMDT (The Institute of Modern dog Trainers). All the uniquely individual dogs I have known, beginning with my grandfather's border terrier, Henry, through all the cuddly and feisty dogs of fam

ily and friends, to those I have been privileged to own, have inspired me to help others along their journey of dog ownership and, since 2017, I have accumulated over 450hrs volunteering with Dogs Trust Dog School. Fraggle's Paws is named after my first rescue dog - a quirky, worried boy who decided to choose me for his forever home and taught me so much, along with my first dog Tom, whom I was honoured to inherit from my late neighbours. Tom and Fraggle inspired me to undertake hours of learning in order to help them live their best lives with me, and that learning has not stopped, with my current two rescues teaching me new things every day. Fraggle's Paws services include:

Basic Training Workshops (2 - 4 dogs) - Small group (2 -5 dogs) beginners (Easy Peasy Puppy up to 6 months and adolescent/adult dog options) and improvers classes (IMDT Pertnership Grades) - 1-2-1 Training - Solo Training Walks. Please follow this page or email/message me for more information; availability; dates; venues; and prices. I am fully insured and only use positive reward and concept based training methods so that you and your dog have the best possible experience to take forward in your lives together. Your Puppy or Dog will receive a Certificate of Attendance at the end of your course.

Some people call this Socialisation. I say it's pups learning 2-way communication and having fun together.

In the Dogs Trust annual survey 80% of people said they are pretty good at reading their dog's body language but only 24% think they can consistently identify when their dog is worried.

Take our quiz and learn how to read your dog's body language and understand how they're feeling.

Excellent for families if you can get to the rehoming centre

The adolescent/adult beginners did some pretty intensive training tonight so no wonder they were tired.

Always good to be careful with dog chews purchased online

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is advising dog owners not to feed their pets specific dog chews from China following concerns from the European Union (EU) of a possible link to serious behavioural changes

These have been recommended by a dog owner whose pup I am helping to train. Having been warned he was worried by new people I was surprised when he was curious and came up to say hello. He had his 100% natural calming stickers on.
I'm giving them a try with my dogs.

Waggy tail days
Waggy tail days

It's a waggy tail sort of day everyday when I do a dog check combined with some enrichment activities 🤣

Snow ❄️.
Snow ❄️.

With an unusually early fall of snow overnight (even in the city), remember that very young or old dogs, small dogs or those with fine fur, and those with medical conditions feel the cold so don't take them out for long. Rinse your dog's paws to remove any grit, dry them off and let them snuggle in their blankets. Also if it is snowing off lead dogs can get easily disoriented. If your dog loves the snow have fun and stay safe. (Video from last year)
