WORKSHOPS
Workshops with Kirsty's Paws are an excellent way to gain a deeper understanding of your Dog's body language, communication and behaviour.
"I really liked the course content but what made it great was the facilitator, Kirsty, who clearly has a huge experience of the subject and delivered it in a friendly, energetic manner."
