Why Choose Paw Forward?

Hey, I'm Shannon! 👋

I'm a professional dog trainer based in Burbage, Leicestershire, offering in-person and online training services to help dog owners build better relationships with their dogs.

I specialise in key areas such as loose lead walking, reliable recall, navigating adolescence, and setting puppies up for success. 


As a proud owner of two Labradors and a passionate gundog trainer, I understand the unique needs of working breeds like Labradors, Spaniels, Vizslas etc. 


My training philosophy is grounded in kindness, positive reinforcement, and ethical practices—ensuring a safe, harm-free approach to every dog I work with.


When you train with me, you enter a judgement-free zone. Regardless of your past experiences or challenges, I’m here to guide and support you with patience and understanding.


I'm committed not only to helping my clients grow, but also to continuously expanding my own knowledge to offer the best possible guidance.  


If you're looking for compassionate, expert help with your dog, you've come to the right place! 

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at pawforwarduk@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Sessions typically last 60 minutes, giving us enough time to cover key skills and work on any specific challenges. Session timings may vary, dog to dog.


Yes, we can work with multiple dogs at one time. However this depends greatly on the issues we are working on. Some dogs may need to be trained separately at first. 


I do not currently have a training centre of my own so training will take place at the client's home at least for the first few sessions. It is possible to hire an enclosed field for training but this will incur an additional charge.


All of my training methods are positive reinforcement, rewards based, kind and ethical. I do not believe in using force or fear to get behaviour from a dog. I expect the same from all of my clients.


Not all dogs find food or treats massively rewarding, that's ok! There are still plenty of things we can do to reinforce your dog's behaviours. This is something we can go through together to find out what really motivated your dog.


I can work with all breeds except those that fall under the BSL for the time being. My insurance no longer covers me for working with these dogs. This should be rectified upon renewal this year.


Ready to Start Your Dog’s Training Journey?

 Let’s work together to improve your dog’s behaviour and build a lasting bond. With personalised, positive reinforcement techniques, your dog can reach their full potential. Book a free call today and see how Paw Forward Dog Training can help your dog thrive!
