About Us...

Perfect Pawz! was created in 2001 - then called Canine Consultancy by Anna Bradley. At that time the focus was purely on providing behavioural consultations, mainly on Veterinary referral, however more & more owners began asking for classes & so the training school was born - at first with just one level of obedience class offered.
All work was centred around the Hexham locality.

Gradually the training school became more & more popular & Perfect Pawz! now offers 3 levels of Obedience & 3 fun courses. Private Training options were offered in 2002 & the geographical area covered widened. Perfect Pawz! now offers Private Training across the whole of the Tyne Valley.

In 2008 Canine Consultancy changed it's name to Perfect Pawz! Training.

Perfect Pawz! was created & is managed by Anna Bradley.
Anna has an enviable combination of a highly qualified theoretical background & a wealth of practical "hands on" experience in the field of dog training & behaviour - the crucial tools to accurately diagnose problems and the crux of success & reason behind many a failure...if the diagnosis isn’t correct, the training plan will fail!

Anna has a highly qualified degree background in Psychology with particular study focuses on the behaviourist & developmental approaches, mechanisms of animal learning & abnormal behaviour. She has a wealth of practical experience in general & remedial training & in the assessing & rehabilitation of many behavioural cases, ranging from the mild to the bizarre, severe & disturbing cases of neglect, serious mental & physical abuse and advanced aggression.

Anna works extensively with re-homed & rescue cases working with owners who have rehomed dogs from the RSPCA, Dog's Trust, Retired Greyhound Trust for example & many local shelters. Anna also has broad experience of the various character traits & idiosyncracies of a huge range of breeds that Perfect Pawz! welcomes.

It is very important that methodology is kept "up to the minute" & in line with professional developments. Anna regularly undertakes research to ensure training methods are current.
