Alicia's House of Paws Drop Off/Pick Up Area

Building on a relationship of trust between ourselves and your dog, we can help them develop their confidence when interacting with other dogs or people, traveling in a vehicle and visiting new places.

Is your dog easily spooked? Panics when they come nose-to-nose with another dog? Barks at new people?

Maybe you can’t get any focus from them when you are at the park because they are so overwhelmed by everything going on?

We can help you and your dog learn to enjoy your walks together, learn how to say hi to another dog calmly and how to be less stressed by new people.

We use science-based positive reinforcement training methods and games to encourage appropriate behaviours while minimising the occurrence of unwanted behaviours. We also emphasise the need for patience, to understand what your dog’s body language is trying to tell you, when to reassure your dog and how, and when your dog is ready to take another step towards confidence.

Crucially, we support the development and maintenance of well-rounded, confident and comfortable dogs on our walks, in our training classes and at our play centre. That way, all adults involved in your dog’s care are providing the right support at the right time and we’re all on the same page.
