Paul Lasky Dog Training & Behaviour

18/03/2026

Is your dog ready to earn their own treat money?

We’re looking for friendly, well-mannered dogs to join us on paid walks helping nervous dogs learn to chill out and be cool, all under expert supervision.

The gig:

Occasional walks with me (APDT, UK full member, ABTC registered)

Everything’s on-lead, calm, and at a distance no chaos, just quiet confidence-building

You and your dog show up, stroll along, and help another dog feel less freaked out by life

Perks of the job:

-£5 per walk (or donate it to a dog charity if your pup prefers good karma over cash)

-Learn dog training tips while doing something good

-Debrief after each walk know exactly what you helped achieve

-Meet other nice humans and dogs

-Your dog might even start thinking it’s their actual job (in a heartwarming, proud-parent kind of way)

Your dog should:

-Walk near (not on top of) other dogs without drama

-Be cool with a cheeky bum sniff and the odd woof

-Be able to listen to you if things get a bit too exciting

Where?
If you're anywhere between Southend, Braintree, Billericay, Dengie or nearby feel free to apply. We’ll usually stick to your local walking spots. A bit of travel now and then is a bonus, not a dealbreaker.
ESPECIALLY NEED MORE DOGS ON THE DENGIE!

Is it safe?
Yes super safe. We’re here to build calm, not chaos. Close contact only happens if everyone’s feeling chilled and ready.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF AN AMBASSADOR DOG

I’m Blue and this is my dad Martin, I'm professional good boy and part-time “ambassador dog” (which I’m pretty sure means I’m famous). I rock up to the car park, spot Uncle Paul, and obviously it’s cuddle time first, can’t rush important business. Then I do a full inspection of his car boot because, let’s be honest, that’s where the real magic lives… treats, leads, mysterious dog smells, 10/10. Dad grabs the walkie-talkie like he’s in a spy film and we start doing laps round the edge of the park while I keep a casual eye on Uncle Paul in the distance working with another dog. I don’t make a big deal of it, I’m just there being effortlessly charming, which apparently helps the other dog chill out (you’re welcome). Sometimes Uncle Paul joins us and we have a little stroll and a chat, and I get to see the other dog go from “WHAT IS LIFE?!” to “oh… this is actually fine,” which is clearly my influence. After a few laps everyone’s smiling, humans are laughing, snacks may or may not appear (they should), and then we cruise back to the car park like absolute legends. Job done, I head home for a well-earned nap, and Dad gets my treat money, fair payment for elite-level emotional support and general brilliance.

What is your dog's favourite thing to do?

Pepper and Tigger, our Tibetan typhoon terriers, are learning that the dishwasher doesn’t require full emotional involvement.

Big congratulations to Jo helping two excitable dogs dial down their intensity at the same time is no small feat. Calm progress, great handling, and a reminder that good training is just as much about patience as it is skill. Brilliant work

From Tasmanian devil of the hallway to this.

Otto used to throw himself at the door and the person behind it. Face height, Tigger-style jumps, skidding around on the wooden floors like Bambi.

What you see now is the result of an immense amount of work from both Nick and Otto. It wasn’t one magic exercise, but lots of smaller, carefully built steps that led to this calm, polite behaviour.

If you’d like better manners from your dog at home, feel free to drop us a WhatsApp on 07773 330 780.

Help me say a big well done to sheltie Ranger and his mum Heidi for passing their platinum good citizens awarded with Alicia Bratby’s AODT!

To complete the platinum he needed to do some volunteer work. He was able to complete this as one of our ambassador dogs working with reactive dogs. Of course he was absolutely impeccable.
