From chaos to calm—helping you and your dog feel confident, connected, and in control.

Welcome to Paws Play and Train!

Life with your dog isn’t always easy. Pulling on the leash, barking at everything, or ignoring your cues can make walks stressful and home life overwhelming. You love your dog—but right now, it might feel like you’re just managing their behaviour instead of enjoying your time together.

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.

Imagine this:
🐾 Walks that are calm, controlled, and enjoyable
🐾 Your dog responding reliably, even around distractions
🐾 Confidence and relaxation replacing nervousness and reactivity
🐾 Home and public life feeling manageable and fun

With our guidance, you’ll:
✅ Enjoy stress-free walks and outings
✅ Feel confident and connected with your dog
✅ Experience a calmer, happier life together

It’s time to stop just managing your dog and start enjoying them.

  • "We have absolutely loved working with Shenae and cannot recommend her highly enough. "

    Our one-year-old pup is reactive, and from day one Sheane has been incredibly informative, supportive, and understanding. She put together a detailed, personalised training document for us that has been so helpful, and everything she teaches is practical, realistic, and easy to implement in real life.

    One of the things we appreciate most is how real she is! Never once has she judged us for things we may have done “wrong” in our training. Instead, she guides us with compassion, clear explanations, and achievable strategies. She’s also built such a beautiful relationship with our dog, which has made a huge difference.

    We’ve already seen real improvements. Even though our pup is still young and we have good and bad days, I now feel so much more confident handling tricky or reactive situations.

    Sheane is truly the best!! Knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does. We are so grateful for her help and would recommend her to absolutely anyone.

  • "Thank you for your amazing training techniques and guidance Shenae"

    My partner and I got our very first puppy together, a little chocolate lab. Along with puppyhood came many new corners that we didn't know how to tackle (along with some puppy blues). Shenae was recommended to us by a friend. She was professional, always gave us so much of her time, very patient and reassured us that we were doing great.

    Shenae helped us with crate and play pen training (life saving!!), how to handle teething/biting, barking for attention, jumping and so much more of the cheeky puppy behaviours. She also guided us with teaching our puppy recall, how to walk close to us on the leash, focusing on us in distracting environments and lots more!

    Life with our little puppy has become much easier and joyful with Shenae's guidance and we couldn't imagine where we would be without her!! I recommend starting training with your puppy once you bring them home, it makes the journey easier, they learn good habits from the beginning and your bond grows much stronger.

  • "Shenae was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone needing a little extra help!"

    We adopted a 4 month old rescue pup who is absolutely beautiful but was terrified of going out the front door. I reached out to Shenae to get some help so Badger could happily live his best life. I’m so glad I did! Shenae was not short of amazing and with her help Badger is on his way to being a condiment little pup. I now feel confident that we have all the support, necessary training tools and a personalized plan to move forward.

    — Natasha Clune

  • " 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!
