With more than 25-years of experience
Dog Paw Training is run by myself, a qualified dog trainer with extensive experience in training all sizes and breeds of dog. From owners with their very first small dog though to people who have looked after dogs all their life and just need some additional assistance with specific character traits their dog has.
I am based in Bolton, providing 1-2-1 training sessions for anyone living within a 15-miles or so radius. I will be able to teach you and your dog various skills such as lead walking, rapid recalls and many other basic training techniques. For more experienced owners, I will build on the skills you already have and help you to develop new ones, which will lead to an improved relationship with your pet. If you're looking for an expert dog trainer, please send me an email or complete my contact form.

We now do puppy classes every weekend. Classes are a relaxed way to give your puppy early socialisation around other dogs and people, alongside the basics that make everyday life easier at home and out on walks.
Places are limited each weekend, so if you would like to bring your puppy along please contact Dog Paw Training for the next available class and to check availability.

27 Five Star Reviews on GoogleI contacted Neil after a recommendation from a neighbour as Bertie would randomly lunge & bark at other dogs. I know myself it's through fear & otherwise he is well socialised. Neil was so understanding & really explained everything to me & put a plan of instructions into action over the 4 weeks. I would highly recommend Neil.

I contacted Neil regarding my dog Lizzy as I was doing ok, but I was struggling with Recall, and everything Neil said made complete sense and everything Neil explained to me was easy he treated me really good, and gave me easy to follow steps, and its been a good few months now since Neil was last with us. I would like to thank Neil for everything, Lizzy is doing amazing and i am now confident that Lizzy will come back to me. Would highly recommend Neil

I contacted Neil our dog Bertie had become very Reactive towards other dogs, and he Barked at everything. Neil came around to see us, and he started with a few little things, and worked to our Berties pace, and i am so happy i did, and its like having a different dog couldnt thank Neil enough worth every penny.

I got in contact with Neil at dog paw training, as i was struggling with my English bull terrier Dolly. I have had English bulls all my life, and i have always rescued them. Dolly was a young puppy, but very energetic, and i was struggling. I found Neil very pleasant, and he is very knowledgeable he explained lots regarding her behaviour being adolescent behaviour, and he taught me a lot about everything, and he got my grandchildren involved which was really nice to see. Even now weeks after the training my Grandchildren come round to help me with everything Neil has taught us. I would not hesitate in contacting Neil again cannot thank you enough
