PAWS Therapy Dog & Assistance Dog Training Arvostelua 

Joining this programme was the best decision I made for a long while. Everyone at PAWS is fantastic and it feels like a family! My dog now supports me with so much. Everything is taken at your own pace with no pressure, and the support from the mentors is fabulous. I can't fault them! A* from Oscar and me!

I joined paws as I was on a waiting list for over a year and half with another company. Paws was very welcoming we have 4 sessions a week and a live lesson lesson. If I need any help I can post on the facebook group or my personal page through paws and one of the mentors will get in touch with you. 1-1s are very useful, you find through the Facebook group there is many other people who have the same problem and the paws community helps each other. I have learnt a lot of new skills and me and my pup are better for it, I feel like I’m getting on with the task well. This program is changing my life in many aspects I can do anything with my pup by my side now I can start to face the world.
Over all I would recommend paws to anyone it will change your life!

Almost a year into PAWS School Therapy Dog training and can’t recommend highly enough. Introducing Halle, my cockerpoo, has had significant impact on children’s well-being and attendance, and the children have called her their SATs support dog, reading dog and best fielder in y3 cricket lessons.
Halle's presence on the gate in the morning alone would make the PAWS training worthwhile - getting our reluctant into school with a stroke and a smile is game-changing.

Absolutely amazing. High quality training broken into 3 assessments when you feel ready. 4 days a week zoom meetings to guide you through with process with mentees and peer support. Absolutely amazing staff that know first hand what it means to have a high quality Assistance Dog.
Highly recommended.

Slowly working my way through the course with my BMD’s. Supervision sessions are great, and the course is easy to follow. Students really enjoy spending time with the dogs too

The most knowledgeable, supportive, proactive group of people I’ve met within the dog community. Their training, mentor advice & care, group support, professionalism and community atmosphere is beyond anything I’ve ever encountered. PAWS have given me hope for my & Blossom’s future. Thank you. 💞☮️🐾🌸

Paws have been instrumental in achieving more independence for me as a disabled adult. I feel empowered and equipped with plenty of tools to cope with new challenges as and when they appear. I am only a message away from support and feedback, and never feel judged.

Boogie and I have only recently started our PAWS Certificate Training. I'm thoroughly enjoying my homework on video with reinforced by excellent notes. It has informative theory and excellent training techniques that are shown in bite size - pardon the pun - easy to follow methods. Boogie loves her short training sessions too always willing to please. There a super support network in place where you meet other teams at various stages and receive comprehensive supervisory support. It's a win win for us both.

Myself and Copper have been on the training for two years now and are taking it at our own pace. PAWS have been amazing . Always there when you need a question answered. A real good community where we all get to talk to each other and offer advice. The supervisions getting to meet our mentors. The team are with you every step of the way . No question is too small or silly ,all are answered. From what harness to loose lead walking it's all there . It has been an amazing journey for myself and Copper. We've grown as a team and have learnt from each other. He has proven to be a hit at School . The children love him and being around him. From the children who love dogs to the ones who are afraid. Now they welcome him with open arms ,strokes plenty of treats ,games and love. It really has been an adventure from start to finish. Also a privilege to be able to offer such a fabulous service in a therapy dog. It sure is an amazing feeling to see children's lives and views change. How a therapy dog can make such a difference to a child's life.

Paws has really help me and my dog Charlie due anxiety I count go out the house unless my mum came and at the age of 18 it was awkward to spend time with my friends cause I wount leave my mum side since being with paws I have learnt lots of helpful tips to keep me safe I refuse to listen to camhs tools I I tryed all the self harm methods to help me stop and only paws one has helped when I get anxious i not aware of my body and I zone out Charlie now interrupt and then I’m able focus on him.

From start to finish and beyond PAWS are friendly, helpful and fully supportive. The support and resources given our amazing.
100% Highly recommend PAWS.

I’ve recently started the PAWS therapy dog training with my puppy Scooch. I absolutely love content so far and feel I have learnt so much already. The support that you get on the program from the team is excellent. It’s such an exciting journey to be a part of!

Elsie and I have been with Paws for a few months now and having an amazing experience so far as we work towards being an assistance dog team. The mentors are very friendly, understanding and supportive as well as the community as a whole! There is no judgement, just positivity and help where needed!

I am only at the beginning of my PAWS journey. I was very nervous about beginning this journey. In the 2 weeks since I joined the Mentors have been so friendly and welcoming. They didn’t dismiss my worries or questions (and there have been a lot already) and the members of the Facebook Group have been fantastic.
As a non tech person I was worried about the online learning as well. No need to be. I did as suggested and added the link for the modules to my favourites in my phone, son downloaded the app and my Padlet.
I know the journey is going to be long but knowing there is support available is like having an extra blanket to cuddle up to.

I join as I couldn’t go out with out my dog and found paws to be amazing they are sooooo lovely the staff they are helping my dog Loki and they help us spot his hip dysplasia without them he would have been in pain and they are soo nice and understanding I would recommend them to anyone

I’m so happy I chose PAWS Therapy Dog Training. The course is so interesting, varied and engaging and what makes it so special is the fantastic support available from the amazing team at PAWS, being part of the private training group on Facebook and the option to join weekly supervision sessions via Zoom. It’s so great to take the course at your own pace too. PAWS understand that it’s important to take your time with the training and make sure your dog’s well-being is at the heart of everything. There’s always plenty of opportunities to seek help, guidance and inspiration from both mentors and peers. What a lovely supportive community. I have learnt so much and still learning as there are always training opportunities. Looking forward to continuing my journey and would highly recommend the course to anyone wishing to train their dog to become a therapy dog. Thank u PAWS!

Paws is great. Their training has helped our puppy to develop skills to help me. For example due to autism I never used to be able to go into shops on my own. With the guidance and online lessons from paws I can now happily go into shops with our puppy who is called daisy. The online lessons are brilliant and useful plus the support from the team is amazing. I would highly recommend paws to anyone

My therapy dog in training and me have been thouroughly supported by weekly supervisions, supportive online community of caring and deticated trainees and professionals. Our journey has been full of life-changing interventions so far, where complex need young people opened up and engaged with services offered to them, like never before and witnessing that special bond my dog has created with them over a course of short periods is absolutely priceless. I am hoping to change more young people's lives with my therapy dog, and feeling confident that Paws Therapy Dog Training will be around to offer life-time support.
I have been complimented on my service and all the positive feedback has also led me recommend this company to multiple people who now keen to embark on this journey too with their furry friend.

Paws have been amazing. Training your own dog is a challenge, but their regular video chats and easy support access really makes me feel I can do this. I would be lost and overwhelmed without them.

PAWS is an exceptional opportunity to build a deep connection with your own dog whilst becoming skilled in delivering Animal Assisted Interventions. The online/on demand platform and videos means you can learn in your own time and the FB group feels like a real community. The workshops enabled me to meet the amazing trainers and assessors which was a remarkable experience. Everyone is non judgemental, on the same journey, willing to share and PAWS provide first class resources, skills and a bold new future. Thanks to Nici Maxwell and all the team for creating such a safe and supple opportunity to help children, families, vulnerable and elderly with these high standards.
