Recognise any of this behaviour?

  • A new puppy who's biting, not sleeping, or not getting the hang of toileting

  • A dog who pulls on the lead or won't come when called

  • Barking, lunging or reacting to other dogs on walks

  • A dog who can't cope when left alone

We met Sharon at our local dog training sessions where she volunteers. After watching her interaction with our new puppy and taking in the advice she gave, we immediately asked for her details and made private bookings for her services. Sharon’s calm approach, wealth of knowledge and love for her profession shines through! Most importantly, her training methods are simple and effective. Highly recommend!

I can’t honestly thank Sharon enough for her 12 days of incredible devotion to Finn. I am so grateful for her amazing talents and time that she gave to Finn. She is a wonderful communicator and has certainly had a life long impact on Finn’s future. We were so appreciative of Sharon’s input into Finn’s behaviour.

We have a very active 8 month old Golden Retriever puppy. Without Sharon's guidance l don't think we would have made it this far. So thankful for Pawsome Interactions as there is a marked improvement in Rosie.
