Paws and Claws Behaviour

About

This South Croydon-based animal training service specializes in behavioral modification for both dogs and cats, offering a comprehensive range of programs from puppy socialization to complex behavioral issues. The business provides group puppy classes, individual training sessions, and specialized programs for adolescent dogs, reactive animals, and multi-pet households. Additionally, they offer unique services like scent work and mantrailing classes for owners interested in developing their dogs' natural detection abilities. Led by a qualified behaviorist with extensive experience at major rescue organizations including the RSPCA and Battersea, the practice emphasizes science-based, reward-focused training methods rather than punishment-based approaches. The team serves the Croydon and South London areas, providing both group classes and personalized one-on-one sessions tailored to specific behavioral challenges such as fear, anxiety, aggression, and recall issues. The service stands out for its dual expertise in both canine and feline behavior, making it particularly valuable for households with multiple species. Their approach focuses on practical, achievable techniques that owners can implement at home, with written guidance provided after each session to support ongoing progress.
