I highly recommend Joanne as a dog trainer, she is so patient with the dogs and made such a difference with my 10 month old puppy and my 3 year old. She takes her time to ensure that we understand the correct approach when carrying on her good work at home. I’m going to be booking the intermediate classes also. Her boarding kennels are second to none and the dogs are definitely treated like VIP’s. My dogs go nowhere else.
Highly, highly recommend Joanne for all things dogs. A gentle, kind, passionate lady with incredible knowledge and expertise. An in depth session with my puppy that has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to adequately train going forward. Will be recommending to everyone!!
I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough, not only was she amazing at training Ralph, but much recently took Ralph on very short notice when me and my partner were struggling with his health issues and had to go to a hospital in England urgently. Not only that but as we were unsure about how long we would be away she extended his stay for as long as she could and it gave me the peace of mind I needed at a very stressful time! I knew Ralph was in the best hands possible and it was a big worry lifted off my shoulders. Joanne sent me regular updates on Ralph and about how some of his reactiveness to other dogs had well settled as she knows how to socialise dogs properly and knows how to look after each dog’s individual needs! Having Ralph at Paws for thought has been such a comfort and I am so thankful. An amazing place, forever grateful ❤️
Joanne is great. She has mad a big difference to my dog. Thank you Joanne

I just wanted to personally thank you for all you do - it's been a short couple of weeks but I've noticed such a difference and I'm really enjoying building that healthy bond with my dog. You made me realise that this wasn't just about training Lottie, it was about working on myself too! Thank you! 🐶 Alana
Took my dog to Keith for the done in 3 course, best decision ever. It’s not a magic wand fix but with Keith’s experience, knowledges and insight he set the foundation up and gave us the tools to use to keep the training up. The improvement in Jay in the first week was incredible. We don’t have to move Jay into another room now when visitors come, he is calm and relaxed . My advice to anyone who has a dog or thinking of getting a puppy get Keith’s advice from the start.
Just finished the Level 1 Dog training course in Cookstown, couldn't recommend it enough, especially if you have a young dog! Keith was very thorough, knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions we had, we also noticed a massive difference in our pup over the 3 sessions. We would also definitely recommend attending the seminars in Lurgan as it was very informative and thought provoking while helping you to understand the psychology of a dog.
We've just completed the done in 3 classes with our lovely puppy Aura. Keith's class was informative and interactive. A good mix of theory in the seminar and practical in the classes. We absolutely loved the experience and can't wait to do more training soon. Keith's knowledge of dogs and his passion for what he does is palpable. He takes time with every dog and makes them feel included, safe and special. Thank you Keith.
