The story behind Paws to Attention

Our path started nearly 8 years ago in Leicestershire with a loyal German Shepherd named Storm. Discover how our personal challenges turned into a lifelong passion for modern, science-based dog training.

Inspired by my German Shepherd, Storm

When Storm came into my life, he brought immense joy alongside real hurdles. Navigating his growing pains, severe food allergies, and tricky adolescent behaviour required patience, dedication, and deeper knowledge. We trained together day in and day out for months, building an unbreakable bond and overcoming each obstacle as a team.

Qualifications grounded in canine science

To truly understand Storm's needs, I completed my Dog Training (QLS) Level 3 certification. Seeing how empathetic, tailored training transformed our lives, I launched Paws to Attention in April 2019 to support other dogs and their owners. I have since advanced my knowledge further by qualifying in Canine Science (Level 3), ensuring every piece of guidance is ethical, positive, and backed by research.

Having started with in-person classes and workshops in Leicestershire, Paws to Attention has evolved into a dedicated online training service.
