Pawla'S Home From Home Dog Hotel & Dog Behaviourist

I visited this pair who live together. Things have always been harmonious, but they’ve started to squabble. I worked with their owners to get things back to normal 🐾😊

This lovely little guy is reactive to other dogs when he’s out and about with his family. We worked to build his confidence and allow him to enjoy his walks more 😊🐾

A lovely autumn walk (in the rain), with a dry out in front of the fire afterwards 🐾

A couple of Frenchie visitors! They did play hard. So lovely to see how happy they were 😊🐾

A few recent visitors to Pawla’s 🐾

I recently worked with this young lady. Lovely girl, except for when out on a walk. She’s certainly stronger than she looks and loves to see other dogs. Unfortunately she’s managed to pull her owner over. Work in progress! 🐾

I visited this little guy recently, he’s suffering from separation anxiety. We looked at ideas to build up his time being left alone and to build his confidence up 🐾😊

I worked with this bearded collie recently. Mostly lead work as can be reactive while out on the lead 🐾😊

A few recent visitors 😊🐾

Made me smile! 🐾

This collie has issues travelling by car. He gets very anxious and barks, jumps and drools 😩. I worked with his owner to reduce his anxiety and we eventually had a short trip with no problems. Happy days.
NOTICE THE PHOTO BOMB!

I worked with this young lad recently. He’s a star indoors, but very reactive to other dogs outdoors. We saw a good improvement, but he’s still a work in progress 🐾😊

Wow I have just had the most peaceful afternoon watching the olympics in peace and quiet and that is with just two hours of help and advice from Paula , my two westies are on the whole well behaved but I’m an inexperienced dog owner and couldn’t stop some of their behaviours but thanks to Paula and with some hard work from me I think I will be able to give my two beauties a good relaxed and happy home x

Thank you Paula for your help with Max. The changes that you told me to make are working brilliantly. Already our walks are much more enjoyable. We passed 3 dogs this morning and not one bark x

Paula was fantastic with my baby girl, who is very nervous,, brilliant advice and my girl loved her, wasn't one bit nervous even sat beside Paula with her paw on her leg, highly recommend Paula to anyone having any issues with their fur babies xxx thank you so much Paula Starkey xxx

Paula was brilliant with our rescue staffie Lily. She gave us lots of advice and listened to our concerns and worries. Paula worked with us and Lily to show us how to overcome Lily's behaviour and anxiety issues. Lily was very responsive to Paula which just shows what a great bond she has with dogs. What I was pleased about is the fact that once Paula has been to see you it doesn't stop there, she's still only a phone call or text away. Would highly recommend to anyone with doggy dilemmas. Thank you Paula xx

Paula was amazing with my no mannered dog Marley, she gave some really handy advice and spent good 2 hours or so on helping me to make him listen.

Not only did she help train him few days later Marley went missing and considering she had no liability to help me find him she made a group, she helped contact local places and even offered to come down in her own time to search around my area for him. Paula is so much more than a dog behavourilst, and I'm eternally grateful for the amazing help she was when he was gone. She deserves more than a 5* review, she did all of this in her own time with no money offerered just out the kindness of her heart.

Would definitely recommend!

Thanks again for helping find Marley x

Paula looked after our little princess whilst we were on a trip to New York! It made such a difference knowing Darcie was being well looked after and cared for by Paula - we’ll definitely be using her services again! xx

Paula is fantastic and gives you great insight and tips on working a long side your dog . She doesn't just train your pooch she helps us as owners too. Can't thank her enough. She's a lovely friendly person who put us at ease straight away! She has all the patience in the world and she was highly challenged with our little devil rosco the Staffie who's 11 weeks old and taught us different approaches to try with him. Thank you Paula and we will keep you updated on his progress xx

Paula helped me so much with my new rescue dog Sandi. At the end of our session I had Sandi walking to heel and hardly reacting to other dogs. Amazing transformation from her lunging and trying to nip other dogs before.I can now walk my dog with confidence, hurray! And we also worked on her barking at any strange sounds. Work in progress but now I know how to handle her. I have now booked my dog in for boarding when we go away as I know she will be in very safe hands.

Paula has been fantastic at looking after our border collie Lassie at day boarding. She has made a lovely bond with Lassie after such a short period of time and Lassie always gets excited once we turn onto Paula’s road.

Not only is Lassie very well looked after, Paula has been helping her become more confident around other dogs and the fact that she can now go on walks with multiple dogs is just amazing. I can’t recommend Paula enough!

Paula came to visit us and our two naughty rottie x pup's, she gave some really good tips and also got them behaving on a walk. Would recommend her.

Paula came to see my lola today and I've got to say she was brilliant with her I highly recommend!! she was very professional and showed me very clearly what I needed to do and what is best for my dog if your looking for a reliable understanding person you've come to the right place :)

Paula came to assess our newest jug Bella who was very quirky - running in circles, peeing everywhere, yapping at people. Paula was great. She identified that Bella was already an anxious dog but was made worse by our forever excitable pup Toffee our 9 year old staffy! So we started walking them separately and she is 95% better. Wouldn't have coped without Paula's help. Lovely knowledgeable lady :)

Our little spaniel, Rose, is currently having a little holiday of her own while we're away. She's previously stayed with Paula & she's now staying with her again. There's not many people we'd trust her with but Rose has clearly bonded with Paula. Can't recommend her enough!

My two Bedlington Terriers, Gracie and Violet, have just come home after spending a week with Paula. Great to have peace of mind while on holiday, knowing my girls were being well cared for. Paula kept me updated with photos and videos too! Would highly recommend Paula to look after your fur babies �

I met Paula when she came to help train my jack Russell Finley who has dreadful recall and a small issue with wheels and Hoover.. some great techniques and advice is seeing improvements. Thanks Paula

I can highly recommend Paula our 2 dogs stayed at the Dog Hotel for 3 weeks. Excellent service thank you so much.

Plus your training with Rosie has been first class

Had a session with Paula yesterday, she was fantastic!!! Friendly, supportive, helpful and most importantly non judgemental. I was so worried about the session but I didn't need to be at all. Our main issue was how our dog reacts when he sees other dogs on a walk. Paula has gave us so much useful advice, she came out on the walk with us and suggested lots of tips along the way. She recommended lots of advice to help with other behaviours in the house too. We've already noticed a difference. We are very grateful of the help she has provided already and looking forward to seeing how well it all works x

First time meeting Paula today with my dog bella. I needed her help due to lead pulling.

Paula was fantastic felt like I known her longer than 2hours by the time she had finished.

She game me some brilliant tips,by the end of the 2 hours I was able to walk my dog without her pulling it was a brilliant experience.

So thankyou Paula ur fantastic and would highly recommend you in the future .

Could not reccomend this women enough. She was welcoming and flexible after another dog sitter let me down at the last minute. Daily updates and videos and helping my dog with basic training. Made my holiday so enjoyable knowing she was safe and having fun. Thankyou so much paula. Harriet and Andy xxx
