Barefoot Paws
Our Difference
What makes us different
We take dog training seriously because we know how much it matters. Stu, has years of experience in Australia and Europe. Handling everything from search and rescue missions to off-lead encounters on busy streets. Stu believes in making it fun – for both you and your dog. When your dog enjoys the process, they learn better, faster, and more effectively.
Our difference
What sets us apart? Stu’s unique background working with Canine Search and Rescue units in Germany, and his hands-on experience with dogs of all types. Stu has a deep understanding of what makes a dog tick. Training is practical, informed, and gets results. Whether it’s for a new puppy or an older dog with a few bad habits.
If you’ve been through multiple trainers and are still struggling, Stu can help turn things around when nothing else has worked. It’s always easier and cheaper to start off on the right paw!
Training you can trust
We offer puppy training, advanced obedience, and help to tackle behavioural issues. Stu combines years of experience with a passion for helping dogs and their owners achieve harmony. You’ll benefit from his straight-talking, no-nonsense approach. But with enough fun and encouragement to keep tails wagging.
Years of expertise
Stu’s experience working with canine professionals and pet owners gives him insight into what works – and what doesn’t.
Search and rescue experience
Stu’s time with Canine Search and Rescue means he knows how to get dogs focused and performing, even in the most challenging environments.
Practical, fun training
Stu’s philosophy is that dogs (and their owners!) learn best when training is engaging and enjoyable.
A better life for your dog
At the end of the day, it’s about giving your dog the best possible life. Whether that means having a calm companion at home, a dog who excels in the park, or even one trained for more specialist roles, we can help. We don’t just work with dogs – we work with you too. Together, we can build a strong, trusting relationship that benefits everyone.
