Kingofpaws Information

At Kingofpaws, we teach people how to better understand the ways dogs learn and perceive the world to improve you and your dog’s quality of life. It is our mission to support ANYBODY with a dog in Ireland by using positive reinforcement techniques. We are happy to offer every dog a FREE assessment and will help dog owners in any way that we can. KINGOFPAWS “We aim to make your life easier by helping you and your dogs, not to make our lives easier by only working with ‘easy’ dogs. “. We will NOT charge you €70-€100 to tell you that you have an aggressive dog! We also will NOT ask you to leave our training classes because your dog won’t focus! “We aim to make your life easier by helping you and your dogs, not to make our lives easier by only working with ‘easy’ dogs. “ We are looking forward to welcoming you and your four-legged friend to our unique dog-training experience. Our trainers will help you find the right programme for you and your dog. Train with Kindness Methods Kingofpaws uses “Train with Kindness” methods designed by Alex Petrilli. Our methods are based on positive reinforcement training only! The Train with Kindness method, does not use pain, punishment, intimidation, yelling, degradation, humiliation, shame, guilt or other things that can hurt your dog, their self-esteem, emotional growth, wellbeing or their relationship with you. Kingofpaws focuses on teaching your dog by rewarding appropriate behaviour, instead of just correcting mistakes. Food and toys rewards, paired with praise are used during the learning process and the food reward is slowly phased out as the behaviour becomes more reliable. Once the dog has learned the basic commands, we maintain the behaviour with praise, toys and occasional food rewards. Dogs are just like kids and every other living creature – they act in order to get something they like or to avoid something they don’t like.
