Neil's puppy course was great, we learnt so much from it. I would highly recommend it. Looking forward to completing more courses in the future.
Neil’s puppy class has been a great help in teaching my springer spaniel to obey the basic commands.
Beetroot and I really enjoyed the scent work training at PAWS. Neil allows each dog to go at their own pace and is very knowledgeable about how a dog works when being scent trained. Lots of different options of apparatus to practice on and a great scent kit provided to help you practice in between sessions. We are both looking forward to starting the next stage of the course.
Enjoyed the classes. Didn’t realise how far she had come till we reached the end of the course. Would recommend.
Great puppy classes. Neil made the class fun and interesting. You do have to put the work in to see the benefits from your experience. Would definitely recommend.
This is the second time I’ve attended training courses with Paws High Peak puppy training for each Jack Russell I have). I can’t recommend them enough - Neil is great and I’m looking forward to our next course in January 2024.
Very informative course, Neil was patient with the puppies and explained everything clearly. My puppy enjoyed socialising with the other pups. I would recommend the course to anyone who has a puppy. 😊

He mainly taught us how to train our dog and also gave us tons of tips including trusting our dog during off lead training! It was difficult time with self discipline mainly coming from us but now we are getting there, getting to the stage where we can proudly say - we have super behaved dog ! Thank you Neil ! Hektor is sending hugs to his teacher ! Less
Always good 👍
Neil has trained my 10 year old rescue who is reactive to other dogs and I can't believe the improvement over our 6 sessions. We've gone from only walking at night and my dog basically screaming any time he sees a dog 100m away, to now being comfortable in a park full of dogs just metres away!

Neil (and his little helper Rodney) really helped us with our 3 year old reactive vizsla.

Neil has done wonders teaching me how to manage my dogs car chasing/pulling. Hes an amazing trainer, so understanding and helps with any issues we have. I wouldnt trust my dog to anyone else!

Kim & Neil are amazing people and spend their whole lives devoted to the dogs in their care. As previous winners of Lifetime Achievement with the awards it really is truly deserved. We would highly recommend x
Super friendly animal loving people, who understand humans and dogs. Our dog tried out doggy day care, but unfortunately she's too human oriented and didn't suit her.

Booked with Kim and felt happy with bringing my 12 week old puppy to her. On arrival we did not feel welcomed and were slightly concerned when the groomer had picked a dog off a table by its two front legs. No stroking of the puppy or interaction. When asked where our puppy would be during the wait for his groom, the groomer replied “on the floor”. Considering our puppy is only 12 weeks, this groomer was expecting us to leave our puppy on the floor with 4 large dogs. We explained we didn’t feel comfortable with this but we’re quickly ushered out of the door and told to have a good day. This is a real shame, as the facilities they have looked great. Just a shame to be worried for the welfare of our puppy. Less

Our experience: Our 3-month old border terrier has completed Neil’s one-to-one puppy foundation course and we couldn’t be happier that we chose Paws High Peak. What to expect: Neil is so friendly and helpful, making every session feel relaxed and fun for us and enjoyable for our dog, who gets very excited when he arrives. She’s tired at the end of her session because she’s learned so much but the exercises themselves are never made to feel like work for her, thanks to lots of tiny low-calorie treats to re-enforce successes as well as rest when needed. We usually covered four new exercises per session and took 1-2 weeks to practice on our own in between. This pace was ideal for us but you always have the option to flex the sessions according to your availability and your dog’s needs. Course includes: Highly recommend if you want help with: loose lead walking (so easy to do wrong on your own), sit, stay, down, door manners, not jumping up, emergency stop, recall and general advice on how to ensure your dog is comfortable when exposed to lots of different sounds, people and environments (including vet visits). Tailored to you: The one-to-one course has been tailored to us throughout and it’s been particularly valuable to have help tweaking and refining those little things that you might be doing wrong that actually make all the difference to your dog’s ability to pick up on what you need them to do. Our puppy’s progress in only five sessions has been remarkable and we’ll definitely be signing up for the next “Adolescent” phase. Just book it! Neil is an absolute pro with an incredible range of knowledge and years of experience and we’d highly recommend him and his business to anyone who wants to learn how to keep their dog as safe, happy and well-adjusted as possible.

Excellent dog training, grooming and day care. Lovely couple who go the extra mile for the furry friends. Highly recommend 👌 ✨️✨️
My dog has Been attending paws for around 18 months and he absolutely loves it! He pulls me in every time, we now have a new dog and she also attends and loves it just as much. Kim and Neil are amazing and truly look after our furbabies like they are their own. I highly recommend
Neil was so welcoming and understanding of our nervous pup. He has a lot of knowledge about doggy behaviour and gave some great advice and tips. Would highly recommend!
I highly recommend Neil and Paws High Peak Dog Training. There were a range of dogs all different sizes at the puppy training I attended and all exercises, tips and advice were tailored accordingly. We really enjoyed every session and are looking forward to more!
Dexter had the best time at the puppy foundation course, we’ve both learnt so much and he’s practically a new pup since he was before week 1! Can’t thank Neil enough, excellent style of training, very approachable and we can’t wait to come back for the adolescence course in September!
Neil was very knowledgeable and very helpful. I highly recommend!
We recently completed the loose lead walking course with one of our dogs, Percy. The course was great and we've definitely seen a lot of improvement with Percy. Neil is very friendly which created a relaxed and informative training environment. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic puppy and adolescent training classes. Neil has so much knowledge, patience and endless encouragement. All delivered with a sense of humour! Looking forward to the next stage in September!
Really enjoyed Neil’s classes, having just completed the Adolescent Academy tonight. Neil offers really practical training and advice, taking time to tailor the skills to each individual dog in a very friendly and relaxed manner. My rescue dog Gus was quite feral when we started but we’ve both really learned loads and I’m so happy with his progress. Thank you Neil!
I have done both the puppy course and have just completed the adolescent course tonight. I can’t recommend Neil enough, he’s very thorough and is very dedicated in making sure everyone in the class is getting 100% from his training.

Have just finished the level 3 course with one dog & done loose lead course with another Neils knowledge, patience & humour makes me as a first time dog owner feel much more confident. Looking forward to getting onto the next ones. Wonderful training sessions. Both my dogs & I have learnt so much from Neil’s expertise. Would highly recommend

Rolo doing his final loose lead session, fantastic training sessions led by Neil. Not sure who the guy is photo bombing Rolo
We have just finished the Adolescent class now, we're already booked on for another course, can't recommend these courses enough 5⭐️.
Great course. Roly has a great time and learns quickly. Thanks Neil
We have just finished the puppy foundation course with Neil, all I can say is what a fabulous way to start with your puppy, Neil was so informative and made each session fun. Neil makes you feel very comfortable and gives you confidence with your dog. We are so impressed, we have enrolled on a another course with him. Thank you so much 😊

This is a review for the dog field only. I really don't like posting negative reviews but I'm so disappointed and upset at the service we received today I felt I should share our experience. When we arrived today at our prebooked slot we couldn't park in the normal spot. Fair enough they said they were were having some truck deliveries and said about parking on the road. We explained we have a dog reactive dog and so they moved a tractor so we could park as normal. We're local and have been a few times so know they have dogs off lead round the dog field. Ok so far apart from the small dog that was running free and we had to ask them to pick it up as we were worried we'd run it over! A couple of deliveries went up the road. As it's a hot day and our rescue dog is old we decided to leave early after the truck was leaving so we wouldn't be in the way of other deliveries. The truck was pulled up at the portacabin, blocking the drive, fair enough we thought he's having a chat. We waited patiently and he came back to his cab. Two minutes later he was back out of his cab talking to the woman again. We pipped our horn as we thought maybe they'd not noticed us waiting further up the drive. The woman just waved her arm at us and looked like she said something very impolite and then went back into the portacabin with the driver. We had to wait another 20 minutes before we could leave, despite them knowing we were waiting and they were blocking us in. Obviously we won't be returning. As anyone with a large reactive rescue dog knows, it's great to have secure areas for off lead fun and we've been to lots. However if your dog is as reactive as ours after suffering years of abuse before he came to us (we've been working with a behaviourist for over a year and he's much better than he was!) this might not be the field for you. You have to walk your dog up to the field from the parking spot. It's only a short distance but as they have off lead dogs running around, this is a problem for us. The last time we were here a large dog ran up to the field gate which caused our dog to react. All good experience we thought, but after today it's too stressful knowing there might be dogs running free as we walk back to the car, and the bad experience with the woman who we assume is the owner. I understand its a working farm and you were having deliveries and it can be stressful. But why not just book out the slots so you don't have to upset people visiting the field. UPDATE Thanks for your reply Neil. We didn't realise the person who was rude to us and had dogs off lead is not part of your business. This was our main issue so I've updated my review score. Thanks for offer of the refund, but not necessary as field was fine. Less

Neil was really clear when explaining the instructions. The puppy course was value for money abs you got lots of supporting material with little gifts too!
Thank you so much for helping us with our dog Pepper. There has been lots of improvement with her following our sessions! Highly recommended! 😊
I've been on various training courses with Neil for just under a year now. From my experience Neil always puts the dogs welfare first and very patient. I would recommend for any aspects of training.
My dog always comes home happy and relaxed from here. Wouldn't take my dig anywhere else now

Neil was amazing with Marvin! Even with him being a stubborn bulldog his methods made it fun for him to learn everything
First time taking my long haired cat Zelda for a groom, Kim was extemely friendly & helpful, talked me through the treatments, I was worried Zelda would be a handful but she reassured me she would be fine, came back an hour later she was all done. Was surprised to find out that Zelda was actually a boy which was a shock! Will definitly be using PAWS again! Thank you so much 🐱😁🏆
Lovely positive training showing how you can get results with no force and by building a great relationship with your dog that means you both want to work together
Brilliant loose lead course. Lots of advice and techniques. Improvement from session 1. Harris and I absolutely recommend Paws High Peak.
My dog joined 2 training classes, one for puppies and another for adolescent dogs. Neil is a great trainer. His classes were full of fun with lots of tip to train my dog daily basis. Many people tell me my dog behaves beautifully, being calm at busy places like cafes, restaurants or pubs. If you look for a dog training class, Paws High Peak is highly recommended.
As first time dog owners we were really keen to train ourselves to get the best out of our pup, Parker.

Neil has helped me become a better dog owner and a Jake has become a less crazy collie. Neil is both informed and patient. His classes are just the right size to be a calming environment for the dogs and yet still be able to offer a personalised approach to dog training.
Recently moved to this area, found Paws High Peak, my dog and I are nearly completing our Scent Course! Can highly recommend Neil for his help and advice! Hoopers next! Here we come! A friendly, informative dog training centre offering lots of choice with an experienced trainer.
PAWS were amazing in teaching my naughty puppy his basics of training. It was individualised to each different puppy where needed and extra support was given with anything we were struggling with. Couldn’t recommend more!
Took our puppy here for classes and she loved it. Neil was great, and the classes really helped with her training and overall temperament. Couldn't recommend enough - will eventually enrol in the adult courses available!
Brilliant class I’ve just attended for the last 6 weeks. Neil makes everything easy to follow and fun for both pups and parents. Thank you so much for helping myself and Marlene 🐾
Chester, our gorgeous Romanian rescue, had never been off lead and was terrified of car travel. Neil was recommended to us and after much patience (Neil’s!!) and hard work, today Chester jumped in the car ready to travel having spent time off lead in the park! Highly recommend - excellent trainer who gave me the confidence to let Chester off lead - recall excellent!! Thanks!
Neil has greatly improved Lottie's behaviour towards other dogs. He has also given me the confidence to handle her behaviour when we're out.
We just completed our puppy training course with our German Shepherd pup Jax with Neil at Paws high peak. I can't praise the course enough, there are a max of 6 pups so you get individual attention and it's not a puppy free for all. There are dividers between each dog so they can concentrate on you.

We've booked onto to the next adolescent training course and have also used the safe dog paddock, which is only a fiver! Thanks Neil! Less
Neil is an excellent and very patient and knowledgeable dog trainer. He’s worked wonders for our dog, we’ve seen such a transformation! I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
I turned to Neil at Paws High Peak after struggling to train my cockapoo to listen to me and to stop pulling. Neil gave great advice taking his time to fully explain step by step and was very thorough with his training technic. My confidence has grown allowing me to put the advice in to practice which has made a happier dog. I would highly recommend Neil to anyone who needs help.

If you’re debating whether to complete this course then debate no more. Neil is very realistic and stresses right from the start that no recall I said 100% but I can honestly say that the skills we’ve learnt with them both have improved it immensely. We’ve got 2 very confident and explorative pups and I feel more confident with them coming back when I want them them them too. The set up is great with the ability to train around livestock too. He also gave us some really good advice regarding a couple of other issues we’d have which was really good of him. Loved the course and would go back to Neil again. Thank you and standby for 2 crazy beans when we need to go somewhere without them. 😄. Cheryl Less
I went to Neil for help with loose lead walking my Springer Spaniel. Neil is extremely knowledgeable and patient using different environments during training. I would certainly recommend Neil to anyone wanting to train their dog.

Includes recall, impulse control and distance command work. The classes are relaxed and fun which seems to work well for the dogs. Neil is a great trainer and definitely understands that one style doesn’t necessarily fit every dog and is helpful in suggesting different ideas to help all the dogs (& owners!) to learn.

The course even allows opportunities for the dogs to be alongside sheep & horses in the training field. Definitely recommend and will be booking further courses with Neil in the very near future.

He makes the training fun and as real life as it can be, to help you utilise what is learnt, into the real world. He keeps the exercises varied and gives you 1 to 1 time within the classes to help polish training on an exercise, if required. I have a loose lead walking puppy quicker with his training methods :) I will certainly be coming back for more training for fun !! Update - 7 months on and I’m still here - we are going through the graded training We are also having a go at ‘hoopers’ which is great fun and a fun way to have off leash distance control to training - he also lends you equipment to practice at home - would definitely recommend paws for training / fun / socialising. Thanks for putting up with us!!! Less

Just had our first session on the paddock. Good sized area and very secure. Still very early days for the facility (actually, literally the first day!) but it does its job and it is great to have a secure field very locally. I will definitely be booking again. A word of caution - the access isn't exactly family car-friendly so I will be parking in the lay-by until it gets resurfaced.
Can't recommend Paws day care and boarding as well as dog training enough! It's a real home from home for your dogs while you're away and every care is taken of your dog. The training classes and one to one sessions are also brilliant.
Really enjoyed Paws puppy school. Neil is a great teacher and our little Bonnie learned a lot, we strongly recommend this company to anyone with any dog needs!
Wilf has come on loads and I've got much better at looking after him on walks and at home thanks to Neil's advice. Looking forward to doing more training work with Neil.
Our little Lucie…Jack Russell puppy of 5 months, has just graduated from Bronze class. Lucie has aced the class and enjoyed it. Neil the trainer is great and the training centre is lovely. Michelle Young.
Brilliant experience training our labrador. Neil helped us step by step and now we are putting the skills in to practice and he is thriving. Many thanks Neil
Went to Neil for some local training with Gloria, who is strong and reactive with other dogs. Neil was great and really helped my confidence with walking her locally, something that has always previously worried me. Gloria is getting better and every day is a training day for us both! Would definitely recommend.
Recently completed the 6 weeks whistle recall training course. Neil was excellent and took the time to understand each dog. I never thought id be able to release the lead of my dog but with Neils help this is now possible and i have the confidence knowing my dog will come back to me. Highly recommend!
I moved to Derbyshire with my rescue German Shepherd. She's reactive, basically missed out on socialisation as a puppy (I think), plus she's a big dog.

Before we started training with Neil I had a reactivate dog with no confidence to let off lead. We have come such a long way with his expert training and everyones benefitting. Our girl now enjoys running off the lead, even in the company of selective other dogs, She's so much more relaxed and enjoys life

Just finished an excellent recall class with Neil. He’s given us the tools and knowledge to now go away with. The course has allowed me to have more confidence in letting my 9 month old puppy off the lead and knowing the he’ll mostly return. We’ll keep up the the training with the knowledge we have learnt from Neil.
I moved to Derbyshire with my rescue dog Bay in September 2021. Whilst Bay had improved, she was still very reactive with other dogs. Working with Neil has changed the game, with both of us getting more confident around other dogs and their owners.

Just completed a 6 week recall course with Neil. My dog has shown a huge improvement during the sessions. Great to work with a variety of distractions including sheep and horses. Neil helps you to understand your dogs main distractions, and work to over-come them using positive reinforcement. The class was friendly and good fun.
Excellent training from Neil. Very patient with all dogs in his whistle recall class. Excellent facilities, well designed to achieve most experiences for our dogs. Thrilled to bits with the progress of my dog.
Booked on the 6 week Whistle recall course with Neil at Paws the difference in my dogs recall in 6 weeks is fantastic. Highly recommend Neil at Paws for Dog training he is great, understanding and makes it fun 👍

We reached out to Neil after having a few challenging months with our rather exuberant spaniel. He was recommended to us by one of the Paws existing grooming clients. We have done one to one training, scent detection and recall so far. Working on gaining our dogs focus, help with lead walking and try and understand his behaviour a little more, to then reduce his reactivity. We have really enjoyed the classes and get set homework to continue working on the skills learnt in class. It has been really fun, and challenging, but Neil provides a safe environment, where you can learn and work with your dog. The training centre offers a safe space to develop the skills and work with exciting distractions such as sheep and horses safely. We also use the day care Kim offers, and our dog absolutely loves it there. Kim and Neil are experienced and responsible, and they provide a safe space for the dogs to play, chill, and stay. Less

Already seeing massive differences - a much more calm and obedient older whippet, able to ignore birds and dogs running after balls, increasingly strong recall and almost no reactivity on lead. Younger puppy is very nervous but the set up in puppy class has helped massively already and she no longer cries and tries to go home on solo walks! Have also taken both dogs to Kim for nail trimming, who was great with them and knew exactly what she was doing. Fantastic couple who obviously love dogs and are great at what they do. Completely recommend them both. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Less
brilliant puppy classes. me and Alfie have learnt so much and enjoyed them. highly recommend.
Just finished Neil's excellent puppy training, our puppy leant lots and there was great guidance. Taught in a really clear easy to follow way. Highly recommended!
Tahnee my Springer Spaniel has just completed Stage 1 of Scent Detective Constable and she absolutely loved it so much that we've booked onto Stage 2. Highly recommend! I found the course very informative and nothing was too much trouble and Neil made us feel very welcome and you can tell the dogs love him Thank you so much again for this course and we can't wait for Stage 2.
I would highly recommend Neils puppy training and scent detection classes, he has an amazing knowledge in dog training and is able to bring out your dogs full potential. Our dog really enjoys doing the classes as it’s a mental challenge for them but it’s also an amazing bonding experience with you and your dog.

Would highly recommend Neil for help in training your dog/puppy. I first contacted Neil because I needed some help with recall for Harvey. It was fantastic to have that one on one dedicated training rather than group classes and for Neil to meet at home to start with. I could not believe that after just one session Harvey was listening to me more and responding to his commands. I was already working with whistle training but Neil advised me to get a different one a whistle is a whistle right wrong the one Neil advised to get Harvey was instantly more alert to and responded much better. As each week passed Harvey has become more responsive and calmer. We have now completed Harvey’s training and I can honestly say Neil has not only helped with Harvey’s recall he has also given me the confidence that I can distract Harvey and recall him back without the need of panicking. Neil is a very calming and reassuring person he always gave feedback from each lesson and was always available to answer any questions and give feedback from any update videos that I sent him. We are very pleased with all of Neils help with training Harvey. Less

We’ve just concluded our behavioural training with Luna and can’t thank Neil enough, he’s been great in giving both us & Luna training to help her with separation anxiety. Neil was always at the end of the phone if needed and kept in contact throughout. He also gave us some tips on lead walking which were currently training Luna with! Thank you so much Neil

We have recently got another puppy during lockdown meaning socialization is key as we missed out on a lot of that so we have utilized the day care to help him! They are always happy to give advice on grooming or behavioural issues etc... We have just finished our 5 courses with Neil to help Bailey with her separation issues, before Neil came we couldn’t even walk out the room without Bailey chasing, barking and trying to nip us, after 8 weeks of advice and hard work with her we can now walk out the room with little issues. It has changed our lives completely! Kim and Neil always put the dogs safety first which is most important to me. They always reply to your messages in a timely manner and send regular updates and pictures of them during the day. I have recommended them to friends who are now on the waiting list and excited to use their service! There is no one we would trust more with our dogs, so if you want a safe, friendly and loving service (who send hilarious pictures) look no further! 6/5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🥰🐶🐾 Less
Daisy and Matilda have just stayed over at Paws for the first time. Kim and Neil are amazing people. I know just how much love, care and attention they pay to all the animals who are lucky enough to stay here. I can tell how much fun the girls have had as they have both been flaked out since they got home. Thanks again, I'm sure they can't wait for their next daycare session.
These guys are absolutely wicked!! Ivy has spent this weekend at Paws, and we were updated with photos and videos (sounds silly but it makes a difference!!) and she has absolutely had a ball with Kim and Neil, and the other dogs. She had been flat out since we got in the car, and that is a sign of a worn out party pup! Thank you both so much, and see you in October, if not before!

We then contacted Neil regarding play sessions and training. Darcy goes to play sessions every single Wednesday, she comes back very tired! Whenever Neil comes to the door Darcy gets so excited and off she trots with uncle Neil! Neil has been training Darcy for a while now and we cannot believe the improvement! She’s doing amazing, Neil listens to everything and offers amazing advice and solutions. We’ve had health concerns with Darcy and Neil has helped advise with these also and centred Darcy’s training around her. Each time he leaves our house, Darcy sits at the door.... waiting for him to come back 🙈🙈. Neil keeps in contact between sessions regularly and offers ongoing advice. It’s definitely worth it! She is going for her first ‘sleepover’ soon and I feel so relaxed knowing she will be with two experienced people who have such amazing love for animals.

Kim and Neil really look after Cooper with his grooms taking him from being scared of the blower to being so relaxed he enjoys his groom
Hands down the BEST dog grooming service we have ever used! I cannot fault the service we get from Kim at PAWS! Calming & caring for our little old doggy, who can be a little nervy. He comes back a new man every time! Super tidy hair-do, nails clipped, the works! Fantastic and superbly professional - thanks again !
We have been seeing Neil for a while to help with training for our little rescue puppy, we've been working on reactivity and house training and despite some quite serious health problems, Alfie is improving day by day, and most of all loves it when Neil comes to see him 💙

Highly recommended- looked after Lola like their own, will be using again for sure.
Wow everything excellent service excellent skills and extreme kindness and reassurance to my dogs and myself
They were extremely patient and caring with my pooch as she gets verry stressed out when having her nails done
Kim and Neil are wonderful. They did a great grooming job on my collie cross, Betsy and she enjoyed the experience.
Kim always does such an amazing job with Tess’ cut! She comes out smelling and looking beautiful! Wouldn’t trust anyone else with my little fur baby. Thankyou so much 🐶❤️
Kim is a wonderful person who actually cares about the animals she is grooming

I knew it was the right place for my fur baby when I said Molly doesn't have a cage anymore and Keith's response was that's fine she can sleep with us. I didn't even have to admit embarrassingly that she's in my bed all the time. I wouldnt leave Molly any where else already booked for summer next year. Thanks again guys all the best for the new year xxx❤️❤️ Less
Paws where to start caring very professional treat yours like their own lovely people xx
Our dog Meg visits PAWS regularly for daycare and boarding. Kim and Neil are so friendly and accommodating and take such good care of Meg. She always has a wonderful time and I honestly can't recommend them highly enough.
Thanks so much to Kim & Neil for taking such good care of Betsy for the last 8 days and treating her like one of their own. It's so comforting to know she was so well looked after whilst we were away.
I cannot recommend these guys enough, just come back from a weeks cruise and our babies had their own amazing holiday at PAWS, its a home from home and they have been truly pampered, the best service we have ever experienced 💖 5 🌟 Dannii and Carly Foster
My Megan loves going to Paws for her regular trim, always comes back looking beautiful with a bow on her collar and doggy treats.
Will definitely take Sassy back. Brilliant service !Top marks. 👍🏻
Can't recommend Kim and Neil enough, they have a great set up and they took amazing care of my boys this weekend. I got plenty of messages and updates, and they even won my sensitive boy over straight away and I think they were a bit sad to come home this afternoon! Thanks so much both of you, our terrors will definitely be back xx
For those that love their pets as much as I do there really isn’t anyone you could trust more to care for them than Kim ❤️ She’s goes beyond the extra mile to love and look after them and you, photos and videos to keep me smiling whilst I’m away and peace of mind that I just can’t rate enough. I’ll never leave my Romeo in anyone else’s care again, thank you isn’t enough Kim 🥰
really nice place, would recommend it to anyone who loves dogs as much as me
They always spoil our Dave and Stan I know there always busy but manage fit them in 👍🏻 definitely continue recommend paws ⭐️
Friendly staff, good service. Would recommend.
Kim is so friendly and helpful and treats every dog as if it's her own
Thanks for looking after Milo today and giving him such a great cut. He looks fab and it is the best cut he has ever had. I will see you soon for my next visit. I would highly recommend Paws, great place and Kim has done a fab job with our pooch xxx
Paws are fantastic. Lovely people who take great care of our dog and who seem to love their work. Our pup adores them whether boarding or daycare. Very reasonably priced, and always easy to deal with. Great stuff.
Kim has the patience of a saint. She came to my house to microchip my cat Stanley. He hates going to the vets so this was perfect for me, he still didn’t want to be microchipped though! Kim was calm, kind and reassured Stanley and me!!!! Thank you so much Kim, you are a star. ⭐️
Fantastic grooming service!
we were first time customers and not sure how Peppa would react but Kim was brilliant.....she put us all at ease and spent time with Peppa making her feel at ease before proceeding.....Peppa really enjoyed herself and we will definitely be back..... I can highly recommend.Thank you Kim (and Neil) xx
Teddy has come out all neat and tidy! Thanks Kim! Teddy’s mum.
my 7 month old cockapoo puppy Bruno, went for his first cut yesterday and wow!! what a lovely job Kim has made of him. Thank you so much Kim I am thrilled to bits. Pauline Samuels
Kim was absolutely amazing with my puppy! She completely put him at ease and made the first groom stress free!
fantastic job on my 2 Cavaliers 🤗🤗
Brilliant job by Kim would recommend highly. Kept up to date throughout. Thank you
Thank you so much for squeezing Jack in at the last minute just before Christmas, and doing a wonderful job in sorting out his coat! Thoroughly recommend 😊😊
Can not recommend Kimberley enough she is amazing with my cockerpoo & always does a fantastic job, even with her tangles & knots after running in the fields. She always comes back cut beautifully, fluffy, clean & most of all happy 😊 Paws picks up & collects so makes life easy. Thank you so much for today’s groom she really does look sooooo cute & no poodle cut 😁
Another good job done on our Fred again today by the one and only Kim,thank you Kim
Took my dog for the first time and he looks and smells amazing, kim and Niel we’re both hugging him to make him feel welcome! And he got a little Xmas card 😍😍 will be back in a few months for another trim! Thank you xxx
Paws is just amazing Kim absolutely loves dogs and they seem to love her too. No job to big or to small. She gets the best results with all animals.

Paws is just amazing Kim absolutely loves dogs and they seem to love her too. No job to big or to small. She gets the best results with all animals. Would defo recommend Kim for grooming and day care. It’s like a home from home for the doggies that are lucky enough to sleep over. I have recently had the pleasure of having Neil train our puppy. I am delighted with the knowledge and effort that Neil put in with us, it has paid off in leaps and bounds Teddy is a very well behaved puppy thanks to Neil. It was hard work but patience and time have paid off. If you get a puppy it is well worth having the expert input from Neil. Thanks Paws keep up the good work. X Less
Took Nahnuk today to PAWS, what an amazing job they have done. He is not a small dog and has a huge double coat which is not easy to get through but they did. We have honestly never seen him look this good. Thanks so much, you will get seeing a lot of him.
I would highly recommend Kim and Neil, they both do an amazing job, Reggie always comes back from a groom smelling so nice and feels so soft! He loves having his groom and I love being informed the whole time he’s there with lots of pictures! I will definitely be having Reggie groomed regularly at Paws! X
I just want to give a great big shout out to this lovely kind hearted lady and her husband Neil . The care , love and attention they give to all the animals in their care is more than you could ever wish for your pets a great big pat on the back to them both from me 👍😘X
I took my Siberian Husky (Nicko) to Paws today, and I honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Very professional and a great job... thank you, Kim!

Love this place and more importantly Daisy does. Daisy is nervous around people but she bonded with Kim the first time they met. Been coming here for 18months. Kim is fabulous and friendly and Daisy adores her. K x
Kim came to our rescue when we were visiting the area and needed a very last minute day care. I can't thank her enough for taking care of and looking after our little Millie who is a bit of a shy girl. Thanks again Kim. X
To say Kim at paws is amazing is an understatement!! We had a last min situation with our beagle Lola and Kim managed to help us out and had been amazing the whole weekend allowing Lola to feel right at home and always sending regular updates Lola has made some amazing new friends and she’s all booked in for her next sleepover thanks so much Kim for taking good care of our furry beagle bum xx
Rosie absolutely loved her stay with Kim at Paws. Kim is amazing with the dogs and her love and affection for them shines through. Thanks so much Kim for having Rosie xxxx

Kim is lovely and so accommodating. Tess can be really nervous and shy but Kim soon won her round !! Thank you so much she looks lovely �
Kim is fantastic! Couldn’t be happier she found out George’s ‘bad breathe’ problem resulting in an op needed for 10 teeth to be removed � despite a vet check! Thank you so much xxx
