# Paws 'n' Heal - Dog Trainer & Behaviourist

Paws 'n' Heal is a Manchester-based dog training and behaviour consultancy founded on lived experience with rescue dogs. The business is run by an accredited IMDT training instructor and Associate Animal Behaviour Technician (ABT) who combines force-free, evidence-based methods with a holistic approach to canine wellbeing.

The business serves dog owners across all life stages – from puppy parents seeking preventative guidance to those managing behavioural challenges with rescue dogs. They work with dogs of all ages, breeds and backgrounds, addressing everything from anxiety and aggression to basic obedience and socialisation.

What sets Paws 'n' Heal apart is the founder's genuine commitment to behaviour-led training grounded in scientific research, informed by personal experience rehabilitating three rescue dogs with different behavioural needs. Rather than one-size-fits-all solutions, they offer tailored support that recognises dogs as individuals with complex emotional needs. They bridge the gap between preventative care and specialist intervention, positioning themselves as a first point of contact whilst maintaining access to Clinical Animal Behaviourists when needed.

Uniquely, they integrate Canine Sports Massage into their services, understanding that true wellbeing encompasses both mental and physical health. This holistic philosophy – supporting "both ends of the lead" – demonstrates that their focus extends to owner education and long-term success, not just quick fixes.
