Hear from Those Who Practice with Us
We had two private training sessions with Charlotte for our 6 month old puppy, and she’s been absolutely amazing! She’s incredibly thorough and informative, with a calm and gentle approach that we really appreciated. Thanks to Charlotte’s guidance, we’ve seen a huge improvement in our puppy’s behaviour. We’re so grateful for her support, highly recommend
Chloe Deanne
Our 8 week old puppy learned so much from the training sessions she did with Charlotte. We got so many easy to follow tips for taking her out in public and interacting with other dogs which made a big difference. Thank you Charlotte!
Camilla Lyttle
Having Charlotte train our Labrador puppy from 9 weeks old has been the best decision we ever made. I had a pack of 10 lessons at home which meant any issue as it arose could be fixed that week. We now have a 6 month old puppy who will sit and wait patiently, will come to me when called off the lead, walks 30 minutes on a loose leash, comes to cafes and sits beside me and she can meet any other dog or puppy calmly. The whole household is calm as well. It’s the best money we have spent because not only will it save us on vet bills but also the socialisation with other puppies is so good as well. Highly recommend paws, claws and tails.
Pete & Louise Kirgo
A unique program for all young pups. Highly recommend puppy fun day to socialise pups with other pups in a safe and contained environment. Thank you Charlotte.

Every week you opened our eyes to the ‘why’. So knowledgeable and genuinely caring. We looked forward to our training each week! Thank you Charlotte
Kim Harding
An excellent four-week course that my puppy and I both enjoyed. Charlotte explains and demonstrates everything and is approachable and friendly. We’ll go on to obedience classes with Charlotte. Thoroughly recommended.
