Dog Amenities
Southern Paws is a positive reinforcement dog training school based in Winchester, offering group classes, one-to-one sessions and specialist behavioural consultations. Lead trainer Dr Kate Morrison holds a degree in animal behaviour and is an accredited member of the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers).
Group classes run in six-week blocks and cover puppy foundation, bronze Good Citizen, silver and gold levels. Each class is limited to six dogs to ensure individual attention. One-to-one sessions are available for recall, lead reactivity, separation anxiety and general obedience.
Southern Paws also runs seasonal workshops including gundog training, scentwork introduction and a popular "pub dog" class that teaches dogs to settle calmly in busy environments. All training uses reward-based methods and no aversive tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age can my puppy start classes?
Puppies can join our foundation class from 12 weeks of age, provided they have had their first vaccination. Early socialisation is one of the most important investments you can make in your dog's future.
Do you use any aversive training methods?
No. All our training is reward-based using positive reinforcement. We never use choke chains, prong collars, e-collars or any other aversive tools.
