Providing expert, custom-tailored sessions at home or at our Maidenhead facility to build real-world obedience and lasting behavioural change.
1 to 1 Dog Training
'Melissa has helped my 2 year old highly aroused cockapoo with loose lead walking, lead reactivity, recall around distractions and general obedience. We are now able to enjoy walks without the worry of how Lenny will react around other dogs and are confident he will come when called in a very high aroused situation.
I can honestly say the difference in Lenny is amazing in such a short space of time. He generally also seems a much calmer dog. I would not hesitate in recommending Paws A Minute.'

Why Choose 1 to 1 Training?
Private training allows us to focus entirely on your dog, your goals and the situations that matter most to you.
Rather than following a generic programme, you’ll receive tailored guidance that helps you understand what to do, why
it works and how to apply it successfully in real-life situations.
Our approach focuses on:
• Clear communication between you and your dog
• Practical training that works in everyday situations
• Building calm, reliable behaviour
• Improving confidence for both dog and owner
• Creating lasting progress, not temporary fixes
Real Solutions for Real Life Behaviour Problems
We understand that owners want more than a dog who performs well during a training session,
they want a dog they can enjoy living with every day. That’s why our training is designed around real-world situations.
We help owners with common behaviour and obedience challenges including:
• Loose lead walking
• Reliable recall
• Reactivity around dogs or people
• Jumping up
• Barking
• Over-excitement
• Lack of focus
• Poor manners at home
• Confidence building
• Structured foundations for young or adolescent dogs
Whether your goal is calmer walks, better manners or more control around distractions, we’ll help you develop the skills and understanding needed to achieve it.
'Melissa is a great trainer who is knowledgable but also empathetic and understanding. She has helped us massively with our dog.'
Additional Training Options for Your Dog
If you're interested in enhancing your dog’s training experience, consider adding one to one dog walking to your training sessions.
This can provide your dog with additional structure and socialisation, reinforcing what they've learned in training.
For dogs with high energy, premium dog walking services are available to support their physical and mental health while you work on obedience.
