Holistic, science-led dog training
tailored to enrich your bond
Who We Are
Grounded Paws provides high-end, tailored dog training and behavioural support designed with compassion, precision, and care.
Led by Karen MacDougall, an experienced trainer and qualified educator, our approach uses modern, science-based methods to support positive relationships between dogs and their human companions.
At Grounded Paws, we believe every dog deserves to be understood, respected, and guided with kindness. Our strictly force-free methods combine expertise and empathy, aiming to help dogs feel more confident and balanced, while empowering their guardians through knowledgeable guidance and dedicated support.
How We Work
Our flexible one-to-one approach begins with tailored sessions at your home, online via Zoom, or through a combination of both, depending on your preferences and schedule.
Initially, we focus on foundational skills in familiar, comfortable surroundings, making training accessible and effective. When ready, we gradually extend the training into real-life environments, preparing you and your dog for confident outings and adventures together.
Whether you choose in-person sessions, virtual guidance, or both, Grounded Paws ensures every interaction is meaningful, convenient, and carefully adapted to your lifestyle.
