🐾 “Dogs learn through love and laughter, not fear and frustration.” – Chirag Patel 🐾

This quote beautifully captures what we stand for at Paws Etiquette Dog Training.

Dogs, like people, thrive when they feel safe, supported, and understood. Training that uses fear, intimidation, or frustration may create short-term compliance—but it doesn't build trust, confidence, or long-lasting results.

When we teach with love, our dogs feel connected to us. When we train with laughter, we create an environment where mistakes are just part of learning—not something to be punished. Dogs are far more willing to try, to engage, and to succeed when they know that their efforts will be met with patience, praise, and positivity. 💛

Every moment we spend training is an opportunity to strengthen our bond. That’s why our approach is all about:
✅ Clear communication
✅ Consistent, kind guidance
✅ And celebrating the little wins along the way

Whether it's mastering a recall, walking calmly on lead, or simply learning to settle on a mat, the magic happens when your dog feels safe and encouraged.

So let’s raise our treats, not our voices. Let’s lead with empathy, not ego. Let’s choose training that builds relationships, not resistance. 🐶💕

Because at the end of the day, dogs don’t just learn what we teach—they learn how we make them feel while they’re learning.

🚨 STOP Right There! 🐾
Huge round of applause for Holly and Otis who have been absolutely smashing their Emergency Stops! 🛑 Whether mid-walk or mid-zoomie, both dogs hit the brakes like pros—fast, focused, and fabulous! 🐕💨👏

A solid Emergency Stop is more than just a cool skill—it’s a critical safety tool.
Imagine your dog running toward a road, another dog, or something dangerous... being able to stop them on a dime could make all the difference. 💡

Why teach an Emergency Stop?
✅ Keeps your dog safe in real-life situations
✅ Teaches brilliant impulse control
✅ Sharpens focus and response time
✅ Gives you peace of mind when off-lead

Holly and Otis—you're both absolute stars 🌟 Keep up the fantastic work!

"Dogs do not learn from punishment — they learn from understanding." 💛🐶

Training isn’t about control. It’s about communication.

When we take the time to understand why our dogs behave a certain way, we open the door to real progress — built on trust, not fear. Punishment might stop a behaviour in the moment, but it doesn’t teach your dog what to do. Understanding does.

At Paws Etiquette, we use kind, science-backed methods to help you build a calm, confident, and connected partnership with your dog. Whether you’ve got a cheeky pup or a misunderstood adolescent, we’ll meet you where you are — with empathy, not judgement.

💬 Let’s train in a way that helps your dog feel safe, seen, and successful.

"The way you train your dog is a reflection of the way you treat the world." 🌍🐾

Dog training isn't just about teaching commands—it’s about building a relationship based on trust, kindness, and clear communication.

At Paws Etiquette, we believe in compassionate, positive reinforcement training that respects the dog as an individual. When we choose patience over punishment, connection over control, we’re not just raising well-mannered dogs—we’re shaping a more empathetic world, one paw at a time. 💛

✨ How we treat our dogs matters.
✨ How we teach them says everything about us.

If you're ready to train with heart, we’d love to help you on that journey.

🌟 Training Tip: Socialisation is Part of Training! 🐾

It’s not just about sit, stay, and come — socialisation is one of the most important parts of raising a well-rounded dog.

Exposing your dog to different environments, people, sights, sounds, and other animals helps reduce anxiety and build confidence. It teaches your dog how to cope with the world, not just behave in it.

From woodland walks to busy town visits, every new experience is a training opportunity. The more your dog learns to handle calmly, the better their manners will be — at home and out and about.

✨ Start early.
✨ Go at their pace.
✨ Always pair new experiences with positive reinforcement.

At Paws Etiquette, we include real-life training in different settings to help your dog thrive in the real world — not just the training room.
