Welcome
Welcome to our Dog Training and Behaviour academy!
With the help of our qualified and experienced trainer Tom, we are proud to offer a variety of sessions and courses to give your dog a helping hand!
With a vast amount of knowledge and experience owning dogs all his life, Tom decided to offer a variety of Dog Training sessions and courses.
Please see below for a list of what we offer and prices.
Meet Tom
Having been a dog lover all my life, I followed a totally different path in sport, university and business. However, after years of feeling like something was missing I met Sophie and we began our 4 Paws journey.
Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I find their endless love for you and others inspiring and find nothing more enjoyable than working with dogs.
The relationship between a dog and his owner is by far the most important part of dogs life so I ask all dog owners to put themselves in their dogs eyes, to better understand how they think. This will result in a happy, satisfied and respected pooch!
I am a Kennel Club accredited instructor and also level 4 certified. We also run a Day Care and Walking Service from the 4 Paws Centre and use this knowledge to help your dogs behaviour improve and thrive around others.
Our Services
No matter how big or small, young or old, we are proud to support any dog and owners training needs.
Initial Consultation (£150)
Using the information gained during the Meet and Greet, Tom will travel to you, conduct a full assessment of dogs home and external environment, provide a full written report including training exercises, recommendations and feedback. Any follow up training sessions are charged at £75 per session.
Behaviour Improvement Course
(6 sessions for the price of 5 - £375)
In order to get the necessary results, you and your pooch will be enrolled on a 6 session introductory course that will cover all the relevant skills to have a stress free relationship.

Home Visit
While we offer classes at the 4 Paws Achademy, Tom can also travel to you should you dogs behaviour or your circumstances restrict you to your home environment.
Our visits tend to last half a day or 4 hours however should more time be required then this can be arranged.
The Home Visit classes cover the same areas as the main academy but simply in the comfort of your own home. This can sometimes offer an important stage in recuperation phase before introducing more common senses.

"As Nora is my first puppy I knew she and I would both need some training, but really wasn’t sure what to expect or where to start. I have to say Tom and Sophie are amazing, they are so helpful and patient with us as well as the puppy 😁 and they go above and beyond."
Ellie, Nora's Owner
"I was so lucky to find Tom as a dog behaviourist and trainer and would highly recommend Tom to anyone. Tom took the time to By observing me with my dog and working alongside me, he helped me alter my behaviour when communicating with my dog, built my confidence, and as a result, showed me how to build a strong relationship with my dog. A very happy dog and owner. Thanks to Tom's help."
