James the owner and founder of Paws To Lead Dog Training.

I am a certified and experienced dog trainer who has worked with dogs for many years and i am always studying and learning more tools techniques and building of my knowledge to help everyone I can.

I want to help you, with whatever behaviour challenge or skills you want to work on, no matter how difficult or challenging it might be, I do love a challenge!

Dogs have always been an absolute passion of mine, ever since I grew up as a young child with my fathers Rottweiler to then becoming a boy and having a German Shepherd growing up through my teenage years to now reaching adulthood where I proudly own my own German Shepherd

You can usually find me out with my doggo in town or on a field somewhere doing some training or on an adventure exploring somewhere new.

I graduated from the dog training college, and undertook countless hours of extensive training and education in dog training. I have also undertaken countless hours of continued professional development attending webinars, coaching calls, reading and shadowing others aswell as taking deep dive consultations as a support network of dog trainers. I never stop learning as there is always something new to learn and I want to be the best version I can be to provide the best possible support I can to all dogs and their owners.

I am very lucky to be a lifetime member of the DTC which means I have constant access to a highly skilled and experienced community of dog training professionals and resources.I am very lucky to be a member of the UK Dog Behaviour and training charter and International Canine Behaviourists ICB. An extremely skilled and experienced community of professional dog trainers and behaviourists.
