Dog training courses in Manchester

“I have just completed the level 3 dog grooming diploma at The Paw Pad, I have had an amazing 1-1 experience with kind, friendly and experienced tutors. I felt comfortable and confident when handling the dogs in the salon knowing that I had full support by the staff. The owner Al was also able to provide amazing tips and tricks from a business perspective which has set me on the right path to becoming an Independent dog groomer. You are all amazing and thank you for all your help! If you are thinking about completing a dog grooming course, I highly recommend The Paw Pad team.”

“Honestly couldn’t fault the team at no more kennels. I only recently found the company but I have felt so at ease with leaving my boy there. They took the time to get to know him and understand his behaviours as he’s a very active dog who just loves playing. I feel a sense of relief taking him there knowing he loves them as much as they love him. We love that we can see him on the cameras having fun and being treated with love and kindness from the staff. I would recommend no more kennels to anyone looking for a safe place for there fur babies to go. I trust them completely with my Rocco and will be using them for years to come.”

“Good service looked after my dog very well”

“The best dog daycare in the area! We've tried a few others and Domestic Doggess is so much better. No smelly warehouses or freezing cold caravans in a field. They have an amazing free range outdoor space full of obstacles and fun and a lovely warm, indoor area for rest and sleep. Emma, Jonathan and the team treat the dogs like their own family. Regular photo updates throughout the day, and nothing is too much for them. Both our dogs have been going here for years and they stay here when we're on holiday too (boarding). Thanks for everything you do for the dogs!”

“Cam is an absolute Star. I was nervous leaving my pup with another human for the night, especially as he can be quite a high maintenence dog, but Cam put me completely at ease. I was kept updated with pictures of Bilbo relaxed or interacting with a chew. He was kept entertained with enrichment activities and I felt confident that he was happy and cared for. Bilbo loved his sleepover with Aunty Cam, and she will be the first person we will call if we need a dog sitter again. 11/10 - would recommend”

“I really want to thank everybody at Four Paws for such a fabulous learning experience. Clare and Rebecca have been fantastic tutors; incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their craft, they have been professional, approachable and supportive throughout. It has been an absolute pleasure and privilege to learn from them. I would also like to thank Natalie, who has provided consistent and constructive feedback on my theory units allowing me to progress through the course. Of course, I can’t forget Michelle, who was also a great support during my first days at the school. I genuinely feel that the needs and welfare of the dogs in the salon is paramount to the Four Paws team which is incredibly important to me. The dogs themselves have been wonderful. There are plenty of opportunities to learn and develop different and appropriate grooming and handling skills required to work in the grooming industry. The course theory content is extremely comprehensive. I feel that I have gained much more knowledge in all things canine, including canine skin and the hair cycle, the different coat types, different breeds and kennel club groups. The accommodation is not only fantastic value for money but has enabled me to train at the school whilst travelling from South London which may not have been possible otherwise. There are of course training providers much closer to where I live, however I am so glad that I chose Four Paws. I don’t imagine that I could have had a better learning experience anywhere else. I would not hesitate to recommend Four Paws groom school to anybody wishing to pursue a career in dog grooming.”

“I brought my dog Daisy here for the first time & just wow!!! Everyone so friendly! Every time she’s been elsewhere I’ve not been happy with her groom as she’s a bichon, so I was nervous but when I saw her I nearly cried with happiness! I’ve never seen her with a cut this PERFECT!! She looks like a totally different dog! We are all in love with the way she’s been groomed! She was incredibly clean & smelt absolutely gorgeous! This is where we are here to stay for the future! I’m so happy I’ve finally found someone who knows what they’re doing! Thank you so much and we’ll see you in 5weeks xxxxx”

“Really helpful staff, fantastic store with really fresh good quality stock and decent prices and loyalty scheme”

“Right from the start, organising walks for my dog was easy with Gemma. She came to my home to go over everything so that she knew all the quirks of my dog and what he needed. Both her and her team are very sweet and accommodating to my sometimes nervous pooch. The service is flexible and easy to book so that it all fits in with what you need. My dog loves his weekly sniffy walks with his new friends.”

“I wouldn't trust my Tilly with anyone else, she makes a fuss of her & makes her calm as she doesn't lime the dry side of her pamper session, Helen does a fantastic job, Tilly will see you soon, thanx again to Helen & her staff.xxx”

“Katie is absolutely amazing! Paw Guardian has offered a great haven for my reactive dog, who has really benefited from Katie's handling and confident walking. ✨ Couldn't be happier to be part of the Paw Guardian family! ✨”

“Amazing place and people - I would be lost without them - they work with each dogs personality and adapt sessions. My dog is a handful but they manage him and he loves them - especially Toni!”

“My dog Riley absolutely loves it , Kirsty and her team are fantastic”

“Fab dog walker! Whisky loves her walks and has even enjoyed a weekend home boarding and went on holiday with Natasha and her family! Love the photo updates and having a reliable dog walker after previously being let down by others! Thank you!!!”
