Welcome to North Paw

Your dog behaviour and training specialist

Every dog is unique and requires an individualised approach to their training. With over 15+ years of experience and a degree in Animal & Veterinary Bioscience, Jade specialises in evidence-based, gentle techniques to address even the most challenging behavioural issues in dogs, including reactivity, aggression, and anxiety.
Although this is her specialty, she is also passionate about helping with life skills and training development in puppies, adolescents, and seniors.

What clients are saying

  • We would recommend Jade as a trainer to anyone! Her gentle, non-judgemental and knowledgeable approach is exactly what we needed for our anxious pup. The advice was comprehensive and practical. Thank you Jade, we have already noticed a huge improvement!

  • Jade is our dog training hero! One session with our lead lunatic dog, Jasper and she had him walking calmly. Her guidance, insight & passion for dogs & their families was remarkable. Highly recommend Jade’s services, she’s an absolute genius..

    Sarah W - Google

  • Jade helped us so much with our large groodle who was difficult to walk and constantly hassling guests when they visited our home. Her advice is clear and easy to follow, and we now understand our dog much better and have learned the tools to successfully modify her behaviour. With Jade’s help we saw big improvement quickly as well as being set up for the long term!

  • We are so grateful for Jade’s experience, wisdom and kindness in helping us manage some challenging behaviours. We have made so much progress with our dog Augie thanks to her help, and cannot thank her enough for her time and support. If you are having difficulties with your dog or even just want to support to understand them better, I highly highly recommend getting in touch with Jade!

    Michela D - Google

  • We have used many dog trainers to help us with our nervous dog and Jade is by far the best. She is an absolute wealth of knowledge and her calm and gentle approach is exactly what our pup needed. And best of all - it actually is far more effective than the other techniques we were given in the past. We are so grateful to have found Jade. Happier dog and happier family!

  • Jade has been wonderful with our dog (Tilly). Tilly was dog reactive and would bark all the time at other dogs. After training and teaching us a few tips and tricks, Tilly's reactivity has improved so much - no more barking at dogs across the street! Tilly is much more relaxed and well behaved on walks now. I would recommend Jade to anyone who is looking for a dog trainer.

With a lot of love and hard work/management from Rosie’s owners, she has improved massively from when I first met her. She was a poorly socialised dog, and once rescued Rosie was sensitive to a lot of things, in particular she gets very anxious when seeing other dogs. This would make walks very hard as she anticipated seeing other dogs on walks, pulling hard on the leash, making her very reactive and not in a great mental state to learn. Rosie can now go on walks and actually enjoy them/be a dog without all the worry. Yes some days are hard, but we are seeing more good days ❤️ #dogtraining #buildingtrust #dogtrainingtips #caninecommunication #rescuedog #rescue #dogbodylanguage #dogtips
Does your dog want to say HELLO to everyone on the street while going for a walk, and often this lead to jumping up!!? Well I’m sure it can get a bit frustrating leading a mini bulldozer around, it’s also not a socially appropriate behaviour for dogs to be doing. I mean, would you go and hug everyone you saw on the street? A great skill to teach your dog is how to calmly and confidently walk by distractions like other people. Here are some quick tips to get you started: 1. Start in a quieter area with less people - this is much easier for them to learn the new skill 2. Practice your dog checking in with you, reward them for it. You can have added help by using the treat as a ‘magnet’, directing their eye sight back to you rather than onto the person. Make sure you’re engaging with them so they aren’t finding everything and anything else more engaging! 3. As someone is approaching, shorten your lead and put them on the opposite side of the person coming by - so your body kind of acts like a barrier. 4. Once your dog is good at doing this with 1 person at a time and decent sniff breaks in between, start increasing the difficulty slowly. #dogtraining #dogtrainingtips #buildingtrust #dogsofinstagram #caninecommunication

Hachiko, the Akita who continued to visit the station for 9 years where he last saw his owner, who had sadly passed away at work. A beautiful reminder of a dogs loyalty ❤️🇯🇵
💡Just like us, dogs feel more secure and confident when they have some control over their environment. Allowing your dog to make simple choices like when to engage, where to rest, or what toy to play with helps reduce stress and builds trust in thei
