Helping Dogs & Owners Feel Calm, Confident & Connected

From puppy skills to reactivity, we make progress possible

Welcome to Paws Play and Train!

Life with your dog isn’t always easy. Pulling on the lead, barking at everything, or ignoring your cues can make walks stressful and home life overwhelming. You love your dog, but you just want to enjoy your time together without the constant frustration.

That’s where we come in. At Paws Play and Train, we help you transform your dog into a calm, confident, and attentive companion — so they listen because they want to, not because they’re forced to.

Together, we’ll work on:
🐾 Loose-leash walking – make every walk calm and enjoyable
🐾 Improved focus – your dog listens even in distractions
🐾 Confidence building – for nervous or reactive dogs
🐾 Obedience & good manners – at home and in public

By understanding your dog’s unique behaviour and body language, we address the root of their challenges and give you practical tools to support them. With balanced training, patience, and consistency:

  • Your dog becomes more confident and well-behaved

  • Walks are stress-free and enjoyable

  • You feel confident, connected, and in control

Let’s work together to build a strong, positive connection between you and your dog — where life together feels calmer, happier, and more rewarding for both of you.

At Paws Play and Train, we offer personalised services designed to meet your dog’s unique needs. Whether you want to tackle behavioural challenges or build a stronger, happier bond, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

  • Mindful Manners Course

    Does your dog ignore your recall, get easily distracted, or fixate on things? Do walks feel like a struggle with pulling or stopping at every distraction? Our Mindful Manners Course helps build focus, calmness, and better listening skills — making everyday life with your dog more enjoyable.

  • The Calm Canine Blueprint

    Struggling with walks because your dog pulls, lunges, barks, or overreacts to other dogs and people? The Calm Canine Blueprint teaches you how to manage these challenges, helping your dog stay calm, focused, and responsive — so walks and everyday life become stress-free and enjoyable.

  • The Puppy Starter Program

    Bring home your puppy with confidence! Get step-by-step guidance to prevent common challenges like biting, toileting, and jumping, while teaching calm behaviour, basic obedience, socialisation, and leash skills. Build a confident, well-mannered puppy you’ll be proud to raise.

What Our Clients Say

" Shenae is absolutely amazing with our pup, Donnie. After a few visits, we are able to slowly recall him with distractions at the park. He is still learning & has a long way to go but Shenae has certainly paved the way for his bright future as a brilliant boy!
Thank you Shenae 😊”

– Mia Cunningham

" Shenae has been an incredible dog trainer for the last 6 months to our beloved Angel. My fiancé and I have had Angel since she was 2 months old and never had her enrolled into puppy school. Overtime, she became difficult to walk on the lead, not focusing on us, pulling excessively and not obeying simple commands during walks. She also developed a reactivity to other animals, especially other dogs. It was an anxiety-filled nightmare whenever we took her out of the house. Shenae has significantly improved Angel’s behaviour through her consistent trainings she has done with her alongside training sessions with us present. She has taught her how to heel, not react to other dogs and to not pull on the lead. Because of Shenae’s ability to effectively train dogs we have been so grateful as we can now go on walks and be assured, knowing none of these issues will arise"
– Stella Greer

'“I noticed a huge change in my dogs behaviour after just one session with Shenae and it keeps on getting better. She has equipped me with the tools I need to teach my dog good habits and continue to build our bond. Very happy with her training and couldn’t recommend her enough!”
- Rebecca Mason

“Shenae is fab with our Finnish Lapphund Mila, she has been taking her for training walks whilst we juggle life with a newborn. Mila is so excited to see her each time and comes back exhausted and happy. Shenae has worked hard to improve Mila’s heel and recall and I trust her wholeheartedly.”
- Charlotte Allen

“5 stars. Amazing trainer. We needed help with our new rottweiler puppy and was recommended Shenae through a friend.
Shenae is clearly in the right profession she is so friendly and was fantastic with our dog. She gave us tips and training advice weekly and would ‘walk and train’ our dog each week.
If you are looking for help with your dog dont hesitate it was one of the best things we did!
Our dog now doesn't pull on the leash at all and is so easy to walk thanks to Shenae”
