reliable, TRUSTWORTHY and tailor-made

ABSOLUTELY PAWSOME offers a professional and reliable dog training and walking service in West Lothian, tailored to suit your and your dog's specific needs and circumstances. Dog Training is undertaken using only positive, reward and motivational based training methods while dog walks take place in a stimulating and safe environment. 

Together with Arlene Frater at Calm Canine Training, I have a dedicated Dog Training Centre with a private outside field of more than two acres. We offer regular puppy and scentwork classes as well as various workshops covering all aspects of training requirements that your dog and you require, like loose lead walking, recall, frustration issues just to mention a few. 

In addition to dog training, I have also limited dog walking spaces available. Group walks consist of no more than 5 dogs and they take place in all kind of weather, in safe and stimulating environments.  

TRAINING:

• Pre-Puppy Consultations for first time or existing owners to help make the right choice when it comes to choosing a suitable breed with regards to lifestyle, family life, energy level and daily care such as training and grooming as well as understanding the fincancial impact of having a dog. 
• 1-2-1 training sessions and training bundles both for puppies and adult dogs (for example relationship building, toilet training, night-time routines, socialisation, teething/biting, chewing, jumping up, confidence building, appropriate play, management, life skill training like lead training and recall to mention just a few)
• 30 minute puppy and adolescent solo training walks
• Regular puppy and scentwork classes
• Workshops

All training is reward based and force-free avoiding punitive methods but understanding the dog's point of view! 

Prior to any visit, I would like to ask you to complete a pre-visit questionnaire to allow me to prepare for the session.  

DOG WALKING:

• Group Walks of no more than 5 dogs, lasting 45 minutes
• Solo walks for the reactive or anxious and nervous dog 
• Home and Puppy Visits

I offer a free, no obligation consultation visit to your home. During this visit, I would like to meet your best friend but I will also discuss your pet's specific needs with you and take details of your requirements. You will be asked to complete a form with information about your pet and a copy of my Terms and Conditions will be left with you.

You can be assured that your friend will have lots of fun, interaction both on a 1-to-1 basis or on group walks (where dogs are of course put together to complement their own unique characters) with lots of games, hide-and-seek, swimming, sniffing or just a leisurely stroll. Our walks take place in , a safe environment mainly in woodlands and fields, away from busy streets, roads and parks.

I am fully insured and disclosure-checked and hold a Canine First Aid Certificate. 

Should you wish anything that is not part of my services, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me for more information.  

I would be only too pleased to provide you with more details or discuss your individual requirements. Contact me on 07484 288381 or use my contact form on the "Contact" page.
