If you are having any problems with your dog, I would really recommend contacting Austin. He is amazing. From my first phone call, he tried to get to the root of the problem. In each session he gave us simple tips and advice to practice and build on. Scooby responded so well and we could see an improvement immediately. Austin followed up each session with a phone call and was always on hand if we needed any further help. The videos and additional resources were invaluable as well. Would definitely highly recommend

I have 2 pups 8 months old that I couldn't walk together because they pulled so much they are large breeds, it became a chore to walk them so I contacted rascals school for dogs and came to meet Austin with one of pups and by the end of the first hour I seen a massive change in the next session I brought the other pup and the same a massive change by the end of the 3rd session with the 2 of them my pups are now walking properly on the leads I am now able to walk them together it's made a massive difference to my life and the pups being able to walk them properly. Austin is a great teacher he phones to ask how it's going in between sessions, he sends videos so you don't forget things u learn in the lesson, he cares and that shows. The price is very reasonable especially compared to other trainers. I will be forever grateful to Austin for what he has taught me and my pups.

What can I say, my 1 year old Cockapoo was one spoilt dog, pulling on lead, no response to commands, listened to nothing, dreaded walking him, after my first lesson with Austin I was again able to enjoy walking my dog again, he’s like a new dog, Austin had years of knowledge and I would highly recommend him.

Caitlin Byrne ★★★★★

Austin is absolutely amazing, explains everything so clearly on how to train and shared unbelievable resources with me including videos and tools that he recommends. Before I’ve even purchased the sessions Austin would stay on the phone with me explaining so much and was easy to get in contact with him whenever I needed absolutely anything. I’ve had 4 sessions with him and you can tell he genuinely is in it from the love of dogs. 100% would recommend. Thanks from me and Phil

I have never met anyone with a better understanding of a dogs needs than Irene. My dog is very timid, but in just one hour I could see the change in her. I saw the other dogs all interested, calm, friendly, mental and physical interaction. The dogs all shapes and sizes were obviously very happy and enjoying their daycare at 4Paws.

Irene is the most amazing lady. All dogs love her. My dogs have been going since 4 Paws started which is a long time ago. The excitement knowing they are going to Irene starts first thing in the morning. I don't have to say anything. Quite often an excitement poo is done before we leave home or going into 4 Paws. There are lots of activities for the dogs and Irene is always thinking up new ideas/ changes. The dogs dress up for Halloween, Christmas etc and get their photos taken. I don't know how Irene does it but group photos always have all dogs looking at the camera. Irene just speaks and all dogs listen. 4 Paws is great for socialising your dogs. Irene is definitely my dogs other mum. I know the dogs are safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend 4 Paws, you won't be disappointed, give Irene a call. It will be the best decision you ever make for your dog.

Fantastic doggy day care. Great staff. I don't have to worry about my Murphy as I know he's in good hands. Could not recommend highly enough. Thanks to all at 4 Paws.

Our experience of doggy daycare has been absolutely fantastic. Irene is very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about meeting our dogs’ needs, ensuring they are happy and well cared for. We drop our ‘girls’ off (totally excited and tails wagging!), confident that they will be safe and having fun until we pick them up again. Would recommend - 5⭐️ service! 🐶🐶

Fabulous home from home for my pet Jack. He loved every moment there playing with all the other dogs and enjoying the beach walks and play with Matt too. Safe enclosed environment to keep your pet inside and outside the house. Jack just loves it there and feels very safe under Matt and Fiona's supervision ❤

I couldn't have survived these past few months without Matt and Fiona.. I suffered two strokes and without even thinking, they collected my three dogs daily to take for long beach walks. My three wait (not patiently) for Matts limo to arrive and transport them to the beach. One of my dogs was funny around men, but absolutely loves Matt. They are treated like one of the family and you only have to mention their name and they run to the window.. testament to how much they are loved and treated.. can't recommend them highly enough. Young dogs or old ones, all respected and well looked after and great for socialisation when walking with other dogs.
