Wherever you are in the world, you can access expert behavioural support, via our virtual services. Through Behavioural Zoom Calls and tailored Video Online Coaching, we offer expert, one-to-one guidance no matter your location.

Behavioural Zoom Calls

Personalised Support Wherever You Are

Wherever you are in the world, you can access expert behavioural support through our one-to-one virtual consultations. Our Behavioural Zoom Calls are designed to bring expert, one-to-one guidance straight to you, wherever you are in the world.

These virtual sessions offer the same level of personalised care and professional insight as our in-person consultations, helping you understand and address the root of your dog’s behavioural issues. Whether you’re dealing with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or general behavioural concerns, we’ll work together to create a plan that suits both you and your dog.

During your Zoom call, we’ll take a full behavioural history, explore the ‘why’ behind the behaviour, and provide practical, achievable steps you can begin implementing right away. Follow-up support and progress check-ins are also available to ensure you’re never on your own throughout the process.

Following your consultation, we’ll create a detailed written report outlining everything discussed during the session, along with tailored training advice and next steps. This comprehensive report takes 2–3 hours to prepare and will be uploaded to your own private area of our website, where you can access it anytime. We’ll also include relevant video tutorials and resources to support your training at home.

Our goal is to make sure you feel confident, supported, and fully equipped to move forward – even after the call ends.

If you’re committed to improving your dog’s quality of life – and your own – but can’t travel to us, this is the perfect alternative.

Book your virtual consultation today and take the first step toward a better understanding of your dog.

Video Online Coaching Services

Expert Dog Training, Wherever You Are – Tailored Guidance at Your Fingertips

At Paws Academy, we understand that not everyone can attend in-person training sessions, whether due to distance or other limitations. To support dog owners no matter where they are, we offer an online coaching service tailored to address specific behavioural challenges. Clients can send us a video, no longer than 10 minutes, showcasing a single behaviour they’d like support with. This focused approach ensures we can provide clear, actionable guidance on how to address the issue effectively.

Our experienced trainers will carefully review the video and, within three days, provide personalised feedback and advice on the best strategies to address the behaviour. Using only positive, force-free, and scientifically proven training methods, we aim to create a safe and constructive plan for you and your dog. Our feedback will include detailed explanations and step-by-step guidance, empowering you to make lasting improvements at home.

While online coaching is a valuable tool for many, we emphasise that in-person training typically offers the most comprehensive and immediate results. However, this service is an excellent option for those outside our catchment area or unable to visit our training centre. With our expert advice, you can still benefit from the same high standards of care and knowledge that we provide in person, helping you strengthen the bond with your dog and achieve positive outcomes from the comfort of your home.

Let Paws Academy help you tackle behavioural challenges wherever you are – together, we’ll create a happier, more harmonious life for you and your dog!

How does virtual dog training work?

Our virtual dog training is a convenient way to get expert advice and guidance without needing to leave your home. You record your dog’s behaviour and upload the videos to YouTube (ensure the video is set to “Public” or “Unlisted” for us to view). We analyse your video and provide detailed, actionable advice to address your dog’s specific behaviour.

How do I upload my video to YouTube?

Uploading your video to YouTube is simple:

Click on the “Create” button (camera icon) at the top of the YouTube homepage.

Select “Upload Video.”

Choose your video file and add a title and description.

Under “Visibility,” select “Public” or “Unlisted.” Do not select “Private,” as we won’t be able to access it.

Click “Publish.”

After uploading, simply share the video link with us

Why focus on one behaviour per video?

Focusing on one behaviour per video allows us to give targeted, effective advice. Whether it’s barking, leash pulling, jumping, or another issue, isolating the behaviour ensures we can assess the problem clearly and provide the best solution.

How soon can I expect feedback?

You’ll receive feedback within 36 hours after submitting your video. This includes an in-depth analysis and specific strategies tailored to your dog’s behaviour.

What behaviours can you help with virtually?

We can address a wide range of behaviours as described above. If you’re unsure whether your dog’s behaviour is suitable for virtual coaching, feel free to reach out, and we’ll guide you.

What if I need help with multiple behaviours?

We recommend submitting one video per behaviour so we can provide focused and effective advice for each issue. If you have several behaviours to work on, you’re welcome to send multiple videos and book additional sessions as needed.

Can you help with puppies or older dogs

Yes! We have experience working with dogs of all ages, from puppies needing foundational training to older dogs with ingrained habits. Our techniques are customised to suit your dog’s age, temperament, and unique needs.

How long should my video be?

Videos should ideally be between 2-10 minutes long. This is enough time to clearly demonstrate the behaviour you want help with without overwhelming us with unnecessary footage.

Will this work if I’m not very tech-savvy?

Absolutely! If you’re unsure about recording or uploading videos, we can guide you through the process step-by-step. We’re here to make virtual training accessible and stress-free.

What are the benefits of virtual dog training?

Convenience: Train on your schedule without travel.

Personalised Feedback: Receive tailored advice specific to your dog.

Cost-Effective: Pay only for the guidance you need.

Self-Paced Learning: Implement strategies at your own pace and re-watch feedback as needed.

How do I know if virtual training will work for me?

Virtual training is highly effective for most common behavioural issues and obedience training. By analysing your video, we can see exactly how your dog behaves in their natural environment, making our guidance even more tailored to your situation.

What kind of equipment do I need?

All you need is:

A smartphone or camera to record your videos.

Access to YouTube to upload and share your video.

Is my dog’s progress guaranteed?

We’re confident in our training techniques, but your dog’s success depends on your commitment to implementing the advice consistently. With dedication and patience, you should see positive results.

How do I book a session?

Booking a session is easy! Visit our booking page to book and upload your video to start.

What if I have questions after post my feedback?

We aim to provide thorough and clear feedback in our analysis. However, if you have brief clarifications about the instructions, feel free to reach out. For more in-depth questions or additional support, follow-up consultations are available and can be booked as needed.

Can I watch the training videos multiple times?

Yes! You can refer to our feedback and instructions as often as needed. This allows you to practice and perfect the techniques at your own pace.
