Thank you for explaining all of this Lisa and how dogs brains work! I was really confused about why she was behaving this way. I've learnt alot over these sessions, thank you.
Virtual Training
As well as our in-person dog training activities, we also provide support to dog owners throughout the UK via our virtual training services.
Virtual Training
Our Virtual Training Service provides you with dog and puppy training that can be done from the comfort of your own home.
All you need is access to Zoom and you’re good to go!
We can offer formal training or advice sessions where you can pick Lisa’s brains about questions you have about your dog. This option is perfect for a new puppy who has not had their vaccinations yet.
I can help you understand your dog, their behaviour and give you the know how to make sure your canine companion thrives in your life together.
I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Lisa can float in and support you with a range of dog challenges including:
Stopping jumping up - behaviours which can hurt a dog’s legs and yours and others too. Jumping up can become problematic out in the park, as some people are scared of dogs.
Running off into the distance and not coming back when you call them – leaving your
heart in your mouth!
Preventing pulling and getting to the root of pulling on the lead which can hurt your
dog’s sensitive neck and yours too.
Lisa can also help with stopping nipping behaviours, learning to leave and drop items which will keep your dog safe, tricks to keep them mentally stimulated and advice on
socialisation.
Not only this, Lisa can guide you all about dog body language so you can recognise what your dog may be saying – when they’re happy or when they’re worried.
Contact us for more details on the range of support Lisa can provide virtually to help you with your dog.

My dog Monty and I had a great experience working with Lisa at St Paws. I'd been struggling with him being quite nervous around other dogs, and reacting and growling as a result. We worked on association with other dogs and Lisa shared alot of things to train in to help us in different situations. It's a long process but we've definitely seen positive progress and continue to work on what Lisa has taught us. Lisa was very patient, gave lots of good insights and clearly has alot of experience and knowledge around dogs, their triggers and reactions.
Sarah, Brixton (but travelled to St Albans for the in person sessions)
I've seen a definite improvement over the course of the sessions.
Karen
We can leave him longer than in the first week now. It feels we are heading in the right direction.
Tracey
Lisa is a calm well organised teacher - Tyson has really enjoyed and was relaxed in the classes. Lisa made it fun.
Kam
Lisa is great! Very passionate and knowledgable.
Matt
We like that you are proactive in getting to know the puppies and checking on their progress. Being able to ask questions to get answers tailored to our issues. We also really liked tips on recall, like, "touch" command or "spin" to divert dog's attention from jumping.
Michael
The sessions were fun!
Kirsty
Lisa is very clear and understanding in helping us through the training and very patient. I felt listened to and Lisa answered all my questions with background explanations to clarify, which was very helpful
Sarah, St Albans
The children found Lisa very helpful, friendly and informative. She was very inclusive with them, and did not make any of us feel that we asked a silly/pointless question.
Naomi
Lisa was amazing and the training techniques were so useful. She understood our dogs needs, listened to our concerns and it was great working with her!
Jane
Lisa was great at formulating and communicating the plan. She provided amazing support not only during sessions but over messages and calls in between. Lisa was particularly kind. I am finding the experience difficult and she has showed amazing compassion which I really appreciate. I was surprised by the level of support and advice Lisa provided. She goes above and beyond her responsibilities and shows clear understanding and knowledge, as well as a love and passion for what she’s doing. She also displays good humour which I always appreciate! The literature, links and videos she sent me has been extremely useful. Lisa does not advocate for punitive techniques which had been advised to me by countless people. She explained to me why these are not effective.
I am very glad I chose her to help me with my puppy and I feel confident that with her help I’ll have a happy, well trained canine companion.

Josie
We wished we had met you when we first got our Boxers. In puppy class there was too much focus on theory and not enough action. The techniques are working really well.
David, St Albans
The techniques you showed us in the first session have been a fantastic. My friend noticed the difference straight away.
Ruth, St Albans
We enjoyed Lisa's expertise and teaching style. It made us feel comfortable. We wouldn't change a thing about the classes, we found them so so helpful. We are so sad the classes have ended.
Jo
I'd really recommend the reactivity course
Karen
I've just had such a positive walk paying attention to his body language - he played nicely on the open space with a little white dog (they were doing mirrored play bows) until she rolled over and I called him back to me. He came back straight away :)
Kate
She aw a dog and didn't bark.. I was astounded!
Rosalind
Seeing Poppy make clear progress each week and explanations from Lisa (based on her knowledge of dog behaviour) of why and how to use different approaches was a highlight of puppy class.
Elisabeth
Nora is doing well, she's much better behaved!
Ella
Arlo is doing brilliantly! We have implemented your suggestions and are doing the decompression walks.
Jack
Just a quick note to say thank you for today and it was so lovely to meet you - you have such a lovely kind, calm nature which is just what she needs.
Emma
We had a big win.... our dog came over to us for treats instead of chasing our cat in the garden.

She didn't react to a big dog today at all! It was such a game changer practicing. She's so much better at meeting dogs this week.
