For anxious, fearful, misunderstood dogs, those not settling into daily life and the people who love them.
FRUSTRATED? Confused? Tried everything? Grieving the dog you never got? – you’re most definitely not alone.
Whether your dog reacts to everything, hides, lunges, snaps, pulls, or shuts down… we’ll look beyond the surface behaviour to understand why behind it and help you respond with clarity, and confidence for real life situations.
This isn’t a quick fix.
It’s a step-by-step transformation, a lifestyle shift that helps you stop guessing, start truly understanding, and build toward your goals together for lasting change and growth.
Together, we’ll explore the full picture:
Over the years, I’ve found that the biggest breakthroughs come when we support both human and dog fully.
This means you’ll also learn how your routines, nervous system and patterns directly affect your dog and how to reset them to help you both thrive.
You won’t just be managing your dog.
You’ll truly understand them. Become their expert.
You’ll walk away with more clarity, emotional insight, and the ability to respond with clarity and confidence even when life throws you curveballs.
Our communication-building and relationship-development training methods build confidence, improve human-dog understanding and meet the needs your dog requires. Every training session is tailored to meet the behaviour adjustments necessary, taking into consideration their full background and traits, as well as changes that may happen along the way. Sessions can be set up to engage every single household member to learn more and keep up the newly gained training habits even after the training course is over.
Trainer Robyn focuses on increasing understanding, positive dynamics, bond-developing, and creating an environment that is enjoyable for all of you to create successful change.
Sometimes the ‘problem’ isn’t the actual problem but just a symptom, while other factors may be the issues causing the symptom. Robyn will guide you through and shine a light on the why behind the symptoms with steps on what to do next.
It is important to start with the basics, be consistent in areas taught and set reasonable expectations that can be rewarded and celebrated along the journey.
Dogs are always learning and they love training!
An initial assessment consultation is an opportunity for us all to meet each other and decide whether Paws & Flaws training is the right fit for all of you as every family, environment and dog are unique.
There are basic fundamentals with regard to training, however, prior to any further sessions, an assessment needs to be conducted before a customised agreed training plan, with your goals and your dog’s welfare and best interests in mind, can then be put in place to set you all up for success on your new venture.
If dog training is entirely new to you, it can feel overwhelming or like the results are far from reach. Please remember that we all have to start somewhere. Many like you have begun their journey one paw-step at a time, and will always be learning more.
With support from Robyn and the plan that has been tailored to you, your dog, and the whole household, there’s no time like the present to start. Paws & Flaws believe in creating a safe space to learn, open communication between all, and a friendly training environment whilst gaining new knowledge and development towards your goals!
