Success starts with the first paw

Paws To Success is a training scheme set up by Danielle Beck BSc (Hons), to improve the relationships between owners and their dogs, and is based on Danielle's Dog Guardian theory. It is Danielle’s aim to provide owners with an insight into how their dogs really think and the reasons for their behaviours. By doing this she will transform you from a dog owner into a dog guardian using kind easy to use motivational techniques.

Danielle is one of the few dog trainers in Bolton with both the practical experience and relevant academic qualifications enabling her to practice behavioural therapy. Danielle is a qualified pet behaviour counsellor and will help you through any problems you may be experiencing with your pet. Danielle's training methods are based on proven experience and are backed up by up to date scientific evidence. Many training and behavioural problems in dogs are commonly misdiagnosed by unqualified trainers and behaviourists as 'dominance problems' where you will be forced into reclaiming your role as 'pack leader'. There is no scientific evidence to back up this theory and attempting to reclaim the 'alpha' position can have harmful effects on both the welfare of your dog and the relationship you have.

We offer One-2-One training sessions*, training advice and behavioural consultations in the comfort of your own home. We have devised training programs and advice for owners and their dogs whether they are unable to attend classes, welcoming a rescue dog or just need a helping hand.

She is also a fully approved instructor with the Academy of Dog Training and Behaviour (ADTB). She is currently working towards full APBC membership and CCAB (Certificated Clinical Animal Behaviourist) accreditation. Danielle is currently working towards a PGDip/MSc in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling at the University of Southampton, once completed she will be a fully qualified Companion Animal Behaviour Counsellor (CABC).

*We would like to make clear that training sessions are not to be mistaken for behavioural consultations. If we feel that the dog has a behavioural problem not a training problem then we will advise you seek veterinary advices to ensure the dog does not have a medical reason for it's behaviour.
