Paws and Claws Behaviour
It's Training Cats and Dogs
Kind, Fun and Simple Dog Training in Croydon and South London
We Have Everything Your Dog Needs!
We know just how wonderful having a dog is: they are a fun, loving, bundle of happiness. When you get a dog you want the absolute best for them! That's why our puppy training classes and 1-2-1 dog training are designed to be fun and simple, for both you and your dog!
We have also been in your position - frustrated with our dog's barking, lack of recall and pulling like a steam train! Worried and sad about our reactive and fearful dogs! Or overwhelmed with all the puppy nipping! If that's you, you are in safe, friendly and optimistic hands with us!
Gone are the days of stuffy classes and pompous trainers!
If you want FUN, SIMPLE and EFFECTIVE dog training, with qualified and kind professionals in Croydon and South London - we can help!
"We are very happy with all the support, tips and time that had been put in to a really well-structured course. All the trainers are very approachable and supportive - we were even provided with written notes on how to care for and train our puppy at home. We highly recommend Paws and Claws, and their techniques - they work a treat!"
"Aria is awesome with my dog. She is super kind and know how to deal with each kind of dog in the nicest way. If you have a dog with any kind of problems, she is the right one to help you out. She is a real animal lover and she is lovely. I am so glad we met Aria, she has changed our lives for the better."
"I cannot recommend Aria at Paws and Claws Training highly enough. We have just completed 5 sessions of puppy classes which we looked forward to attending each week. Aria is always happy to talk before and after each session. I would not hesitate to contact Aria in future or recommending her services."
"We would unreservedly recommend Paws and Claws. She is very thorough and takes a keen interest in getting to know both the dog and the owners. She has helped us no end with our exuberant pup. We are all happier and better trained - more good behaviour is on the way. Thank you from us all"
"Aria was incredibly helpful in making a plan for our puppy's training. She gave us a useful plan that, a few days out, has already shown positive results. She was calm and careful with our dog and flexible to our needs. We would definitely recommend her."

Our Methods
We are qualified dog trainers and behaviourists - so our techniques are based on science, expert learning, and experience. This means we do not offer quick fixes or use punishment.
We promise to give you fun, simple, and effective techniques that enable you to train your perfect pooch! After every session, we will send you information covering what we discussed, and explaining the new techniques!
We are proud to use rewards like food, toys, and cuddles! Science has proven rewarding good behaviour works better than punishing the bad stuff. As we always say, would you go to work for free? Nope! So why should your dog!
