CPD accredited 1-2-1 dog training and walking for every size and breed, anywhere within around 15 miles of Bolton.
Dog Paw Training is a CPD accredited dog trainer offering expert 1-2-1 dog training and walking in Bolton.
I have a National Diploma with the British College of Canine Studies in Dog Behaviour, along with more than 25-years of experience working with dogs of all breeds. If you would like some help with training or walking your dog, just get in touch and I'll be happy to help.
I have a wealth of experience with all breeds of dogs, from training people who own their first dog through to providing expert assistance with rescue dogs. I work all across my local Bolton area, usually within 15-miles or so, offering 1-2-1 sessions with you and your dog. Owning a dog is a wonderful experience, however we all need help now and then, so why not book a training or walking session?
Although a lot of dog trainers offer group training sessions, I find that where possible you will get the most from your session through 1-2-1 dog training. This gives us both time to get to know each other and understand what you are looking to get out of the training to ensure you achieve the results you want. It also focuses more time on your dog, usually my session lasts an hour.
You can read more about how the sessions run on my dog training page, or go straight ahead and book your first session.
Every session is backed by recognised qualifications from the Dog Training College, plus more than 25-years of hands on experience.

Every review below was written by a real owner after their sessions with Dog Paw Training.
27 Five Star Reviews on GoogleI contacted Neil after a recommendation from a neighbour as Bertie would randomly lunge & bark at other dogs. I know myself it's through fear & otherwise he is well socialised. Neil was so understanding & really explained everything to me & put a plan of instructions into action over the 4 weeks. I would highly recommend Neil.

I contacted Neil regarding my dog Lizzy as I was doing ok, but I was struggling with Recall, and everything Neil said made complete sense and everything Neil explained to me was easy he treated me really good, and gave me easy to follow steps, and its been a good few months now since Neil was last with us. I would like to thank Neil for everything, Lizzy is doing amazing and i am now confident that Lizzy will come back to me. Would highly recommend Neil

I contacted Neil our dog Bertie had become very Reactive towards other dogs, and he Barked at everything. Neil came around to see us, and he started with a few little things, and worked to our Berties pace, and i am so happy i did, and its like having a different dog couldnt thank Neil enough worth every penny.
Christine Davenport
I got in contact with Neil at dog paw training, as i was struggling with my English bull terrier Dolly. I have had English bulls all my life, and i have always rescued them. Dolly was a young puppy, but very energetic, and i was struggling. I found Neil very pleasant, and he is very knowledgeable he explained lots regarding her behaviour being adolescent behaviour, and he taught me a lot about everything, and he got my grandchildren involved which was really nice to see. Even now weeks after the training my Grandchildren come round to help me with everything Neil has taught us. I would not hesitate in contacting Neil again cannot thank you enough
Mrs K Brown
Neil excellent dog trainer. Very knowledgeable. Punctual with appointments and flexible. He has our 5 star recommendation.
John Geldard
Neil is a fabulous trainer and worked fantastically with Grace our Cockapoo. She was a reactive dog so Neil helped us calm her nerves, minimise her barking and interest in other dogs and helped us work better with Grace. He used his own trained dogs Jelly Bean, Dumplin and Bruce to help Grace overcome her nerves and it worked a treat. Can’t recommend Neil enough and we shall be back with Neil in the near future for more sessions. Thanks Neil you really helped Grace move forward and become a happier dog
Trevor
We asked Neil to help with our 8 month old cockerpoo Milo to get him to walk on his lead. Neil is very knowledgeable and explains his method simply and effectively. Neil also recommended a type of harness that until I tried it I wouldn’t have used a harness. After just a couple of days Milo has stopped pulling and we are enjoying our walks.
Peter Wood
Made contact with Neil after we picked up a rescue Frenchie who had behavioural issues, including aggression with people and other dogs. Neil’s approach was simple but very effective. We now have a lovely family pet with more obedience and less aggression. He is still work in progress but Neil has helped Leo make massive improvements. Leo absolutely loves being around Neil which tells me everything as he doesn’t usually take to people easily.
