Testimonials
"Paws of Parham is fantastic! They say you don’t choose your dog but your dog chooses you and Paws of Parham have helped me realise why... by boosting my confidence in every way. Helping me to understand Ziggy better and equipping me with brilliant tips and techniques to help us on our journey. We attended beginners agility lessons and are excited to move up to intermediate and have also had group lessons to help with lead walking. Nick is such a kind and knowledgeable man who always has the time to talk and help in a completely non judgmental way and the rest of the team are brilliant. Always on hand with tips and support! Finding Paws of Parham was the best thing I have ever done for me and for Ziggy and we are so excited by what will come next and what else we will be able to join in with! Thank you all so much for all your patience, support and encouragement". [Olivia Black]
"Paws of Parham have been amazing as they helped my daughter at a very young age and managed to keep her interest up even though her first dog really wasn’t keen on agility. Next they helped my disabled niece with her little dog and actually got them doing some agility. The third task was puppy training my parent’s rough collie! Behaviour issues galore until Nick discovered that it was a fear of the car! Now, you can’t get the dog out of the car! He loves it! A huge amount of knowledge (including health) has helped us with our dogs. We can’t praise them enough." [Caroline Baldry]
"Back in September you came out to us to see Fudge, and i am writing to thank you for your help. We were finding it impossible to leave her at all. We followed your advice to leave her with a chewy/kong or bone for 10 minutes to half an hour over a period of 5 weeks. This proved very successful! We are now able to leave her for 2 1/2 hours with a bone and she doesn't bother at all! Brilliant! We leave her once a week (can't give her too many bones!), but we are confident in time she will be happy to stay, even though she only has a short diversion. It is so good to see her overcoming her problems. Thank you for your help." [Helen, Mike & Fudge]
