As a new puppy owner and a vet, I cannot recommend Jake and Muddy Paws Puppy Training Classes highly enough. His positive reinforcement-based training methods and patience with owners and puppies is excellent. I’d recommend anyone with a new puppy to sign up for this as it will ensure you have a well behaved, fun and properly socialised puppy for life.

Puppy review
Jake puts incredible time effort, thought and energy into ensuring we had the best chance of training our puppy positively. When I knew I was getting a puppy I started asking people with well behaved dogs where they had trained their dog. I contacted Jake as I met an adult dog who the owner credited Jake with his great behaviour. We were at the beach and that owner told me to call their dog. The dog ran over to me and sat beside me. It was my first time meeting the dog. Jake starts by showing you what your aiming for by having Nala his dog do it. That really helps for example he showed us how Nala will 'wait' before running after a ball for impulse control. I never even knew that was possible. Then we practised at home with food bowl and posted videos to the WhatsApp group. Jake would encourage all progress and gently give honest pointers. When we first got our puppy Jake also did a zoom call with us which really got us going from day one. I had organised the call as I didn't want my puppy jumping up on the children or my parents. This zoom call I think was so important. I now have a 5month old golden retriever who never jumps up on anyone thanks to Jakes guidance.
Adult review
We did the six weeks of training with my 8 month puppy Stella. Jake was such a good educator, teaching us to see things from the puppy/dogs perspective. It made training our dog so rewarding and gave us a framework for continued training. Our puppy was probably one of the liveliest there. Jake observed each dog there and gave us so much individual attention. Stella has come a long way and with continued training using Jakes techniques we expected more and more reward! I highly recommend every new puppy owner to do this course. Even now it’s over Jake is so willing to answer any questions we have. Thank you Jake and thank you Nala for showing such great example to us all.

Jake knows and loves dogs! We are so glad that we signed up for the puppy obedience & socialisation classes. It made our life much easier. We feel the progress of our puppy every day. The classes were well put together and we got additional support such as a great booklet, a WhatsApp group and of course the personalized certificates and rosettes! Jake was fantastic in equipping us with training skills that were easy to understand and fun for us and our puppy. We loved how he uses his own dog Nala for demonstration, it was so helpful. We didn’t feel nervous about asking questions and he was so knowledgeable, organized and helpful. Jake's positive training techniques have proved extremely beneficial to us and our dog. The power of "yes!" in reinforcing the desired behaviours from our puppy are valued by us both! I would recommend Jake to any person that recently added a dog to their family, or needs any additional support with their furry friend!

I would highly recommend Muddy Paws puppy obedience and socialisation classes to anyone who is thinking of getting a puppy or anyone who has just got a puppy. Firstly, Jake was a pleasure to deal with, he was patient and gave care, time and great support to each owner and puppy within the class, during the 6 week programme. This support was given through a booklet and a WhatsApp group which allowed each owner to interact and share their experiences. In this WhatsApp group, Jake was always available to answer any question. This class gives owners the opportunity to learn about their dogs behavioural cues, playing styles and learn the importance of positive training. My Jack Russell Terrier Willow was very frightened and timid during class in the presence of other dogs. She didn't even want to be in the vicinity of the other dogs during the first class but by the end she walked into the arena alongside the other puppies😍. She is still timid around dogs but has improved greatly since the classes. She has learned lots of new skills such as sit, stay, paw, leave and her impulse control is improving. In all, we had such a positive experience and we would recommend Muddy Paws training to anyone who wants a happy, well-behaved dog 🐕🐾🐾

Highly recommend Muddy Paws Dog Training to anyone, very relaxed, spacious and friendly environment for the dogs which was a huge plus for me seeing as my girl Skye had a fear of people (especially men), Jake and Terrie are lovely and really do know their stuff when it comes to dogs, a big thank you to Jake for spending extra time with Skye during each class to try and bring her out of her fear of men, the difference in her with her anxiety in just four classes is amazing !!!!..…. Thanks so much again guys.
Lucy Butler
Just AMAZING. Jake is so knowledgable and so helpful. Really understands all the worries and queries you have as a pup owner. This is a great resource for all pet owners. I myself, am now more confident with Jimmy and our bond is a lot stronger as a result. We both trust each other! It’s vital to have a controlled socialisation setting for pups and teach them appropriate ways to interact. I highly recommend any dog owner, especially pup owners, to get in contact with Jake and let him work his dog whispering magic. In reality, he trains you, not the dog!!!

Would highly recommend Jake (& Nala) @muddypaws! Buddy learned so much at puppy class. He is now able to walk off the lead and explore his surroundings. The positive training techniques we learned means that I can recall him, get him to walk with me and sit when needs be! We got lots of support and information from Jake and learned so much at the classes. Would highly recommend Muddy Paws training

Top Class.....We thoroughly enjoyed the Muddy Paws training experience.I have learnt so much and have become a much better and more knowledgeable dog owner.Jake (and Nala) have a lovely way of teaching new lifetime skills with kindness,practicality and non-judgement.There is encouragement and fun all the way and back-up during the week through the WhatsApp group.
Thanks for the opportunity to enrich the relationship with our special canine family
Ciara Lehane
Jake’s passion for dogs and his positive nature make the puppy training classes very engaging and enjoyable. His extensive depth of knowledge and experience means no question goes unanswered. Classes are so much more than the obvious sit/stay. It was an absolute pleasure to work with both Jake and Nala. I think Tess’s face says it all!

We attended a 6 week Puppy class and would highly recommend Muddy Paws Dog Training to anyone thinking of attending one of Jake's classes. Jake is so knowledgeable and experienced. This was evident throughout the classes. We all received such fantastic support and advice from Jake - in each class as well as through the WhatsApp group and the wonderful information booklet. We learned so much in the classes. Jake filled each class with vital learning points that we continue to use each day while also making sure the classes had a fun social side too.

I took our 7month old Irish Setter for 6 weeks of training with Jake at Muddy Paws. It was a fantastic experience for both me and our dog. Jake has so much knowledge. He is excellent at training dogs and at relaying training techniques to people. The level of communication was also brilliant. At the end all the dogs got certs and rosettes it was very sweet. The change in my dogs confidence in new situations and around other dogs is amazing.

The puppy socialisation class with Jake was amazing! Our puppy wasn’t confident around dogs before we started but she gained so much throughout the 6 weeks. Learning to be such a valued person in your puppies life is so important, and I didn’t realise it until I went to these classes. Highly recommend this class to anyone who has a new puppy!
Katryna Morrissey
Couldn't recommend Muddy Paws highly enough....begun our puppy classes before lockdown with "Sprocket", from the beginning Jake was extremely professional, gave to- the- point sound advice and encouragement. His demonstrations with Nala ( the wonder dog, in my opinion) were great. Then lockdown hit and we had the option of waiting until it was over or doing the class through zoom and what's app. I was so glad I took the online option, we never looked back! Daily updates, exercises and discussions made the training fun. Thank you all at Muddy Paws so much....will definitely use this service again!

We took both Benji and Bruno to Muddy Paws, they are so close that we opted to take them to separate classes as they were a distraction to each other (and others). Terrie and Jake are fab, so patient and the boys loved them. Even though we have finished classes we have noticed that they continue to improve and now sit and stay at times without even being asked (knowing a treat/meal is on the way of course). They are so much easier on the lead and they definitely know that we are in charge. We will be back for any other suitable classes for them. Thanks guys.

We just finished Puppy obedience classes with Jake and would highly recommend. Our puppy learned so much in class as did we. now we understand each other away better and have gained so many new skills.
Thanks Jake and Nala.
Natalie Satkauskas
I'd absolutely recommend Muddy Paws training classes. I received so much information, support and feedback from Jake, both in class and through the whatsapp group and in the booklet. He broke each of the commands down which helped me to understand the process and how to correct where I'd been struggling. It was great to be able to bring my daughter along so we could both be trained in how to train the pup! The classes really gave me a great foundation in training my puppy, and I was able to transfer all that I learned to improve training with my other dog too.

Loki and I loved going to classes on Saturday. Loki’s confidence improved so much over the classes and he made loads of friends. I learned a lot about positive reinforcement for training too. The classes are so well run and we thoroughly enjoyed them. Thanks so much Jake and Nala!

Orlaith O Donoghue
Muddy paws has been an excellent choice for our golden retriever 🐾 Jake is a very interactive, positive trainer. The preparation was amazing, we received booklets, information and homework for us as owners and our dogs. The 6 week puppy class has immensely helped in training our pup. Jake gave us lots of helpful tips and information on every aspect of training. This was enhanced by demonstrations with his own dog Nala. Throughout the week we were sent motivational prompts on WhatsApp. We are so happy overall with the course, amazing value. Our puppy has grown in confidence and has become a well mannered respectful dog. There is no way we would have managed to research everything that was taught in 6 weeks 📚 10/10

I took part in the group puppy classes with my new puppy Floyd. Having two other dogs already I was keen to get things right from the start this time. The classes are well structured with just the right amount of “homework” and are a fantastic opportunity for the puppies to socialize. Jake and Terrie are lovely, very open to any amount of questions and most importantly Floyd loved them. We’ve come away with loads of training advice and tips to work on. I’m definitely going to take my older dogs back to try the adult dog training in the new year.

Just finished our 6 week puppy training class- a great experience especially for a first time dog owner like me. Jake gives a detailed booklet at the start and he gives daily tips/ advice on a class WhatsApp group so it’s more than just the weekly class. I would definitely recommend this class- our puppy Roxy has improved a lot since we started and even more so we now have the knowledge to be able to continue to train her properly in the months ahead

Loved this class, Jake, has such a positive attitude and approach to all dog’s, it makes the lesson so relaxed no matter how strong my puppy Levi, got.

Thanks Jake and of course your beautiful loyal Nala

We learned a lot from Jake and feel much more confident going forward with Charlie. Our friends see a big improvement in Charlie’s behaviour and we are delighted we did the course.

Really great service. I had recently gotten a really active & happy puppy and had no experience with training him so I contacted Jake for help.

Muddy Paws offer a fantastic service and are extremely knowledgeable. Jake helped us train our springer spaniel with loose lead walking. By the end of the sessions she was so much better on the lead and we will continue the training every day. We can’t recommend Muddy Paws and Jake enough. Thank you.

100%. Jake has helped give me the knowledge to correct the mistakes I was making with Floki. I have a very busy house & was taking the quick way out but was in turn reinforcing behaviours. I'm only 48 hours in & already the tweaking & advice from Jake has massively improved behaviours & I am enjoying time with him more. Jake has given me ideas on how to include the kids with games with Floki. everyday will be more learning for us both in the right direction
Our dog use to jump up and steal stuff from kitchen counters, drag rugs around the house, steal shoes etc. she didn't listen to anything we said to her. Jake called out to our house, we had 1 session, where he gave plenty of detailed advice on how to and what to teach to our dog and how to discipline her, if she is being bold, gave plenty of ideas about mental stimulation. This one session and all the information we got done miracles. Huge positive change in dogs behaviour.
Highly recommend Muddy Paws Dog Training.

I would like to whole heartedly thank both Jake and the divine Nala, whom Travelled back to west Kerry over the weekend, to assist both myself and my almost 2 year old Bernadoodle Bobby in recall. I have to say the entire experience was 5 Star from start to finish. Jake is fantastic, exceptionally friendly like Nala. Jake was super informative and had enormous patience’s with both myself and Bobby from start to finish. To start, we sat for a really in-depth learning discussion tailored to both Bobbys and my specific needs. Thankfully, I have loads of notes from Jake to assist me in my ongoing daily training with Bobby. We did practical training games, to assist in helping me with recall issues with Bobby and the bad habits I have instilled in him Since I got him almost two years ago. Every aspect of the training was about, having fun, rewarding and being hugely positive to engage Bobby. This will over time change the habits , in which I have to say are my bad habits, as in not training him from infancy and leaving it to long. I see changes in Bobbys behaviour already and feel confident that I can continue with the training, thanks to Jake’s expertise in his training methods. Both myself and Bobby have learned a huge amount in our session with Jake. I must say it was an invaluable experience, worth every penny. As I live in a coastal area with sheep. We have loads of distractions every time we are outside. Jake taught me loads of various ways to engage with Bobby and make the training fun and enjoyable for both of us. We went to the beach, in which we are on almost daily and It was great to have Nalas assistance, so as Jake could demonstrate how to do the various training methods. I would say that if any dog owner should need assistance, with any aspect of training, Jake and Nala are the perfect and most professional training team. I would highly recommend. I adore my dog and It was money well spent. Jake has such a natural way with Dogs and Bobby was interested in everything Jake was doing from the onset. Jake and Nala, Thank you both so much. The training was such a great experience and you have given me all the tools, tips and notes to enabled me to continue with the training daily. Again a massive Thank you and Booby hopes to see you, Nala and Terri all soon for a visit to your fabulous doggie hotel which is equally as fabulous as your training. Many thanks again to a superb 5Star team. Kindest regards

Jake was absolutely fantastic, we received such helpful tips regarding training & guess what they really work! Definitely give Muddy Paws a call, Jake offered great solutions & we are beyond delighted we made that call. Thanks Jake, love to Nala from Betsy & Diane..
I had very little knowledge about dogs when I got my pup. He was almost 3 months old when I've contacted Muddy Paws. Terrie and Jake were very good and extremely patient with him. They thought him basic obedience, how to walk on a lead and now he's learning how to heel. The knowledge and passion they have shines thought. Absolutely delighted with their services!!

Having got a border collie pup it was a whole new experience of training we weren’t equipped for while totally adorable and extremely smart we very soon realised that she needed a completely different type of training to our other dogs. We contacted jake at muddy paws and we arranged 1:1 sessions in our home, it was the best thing we ever did for our family and pup. He gave us the proper skills to help her reach her potential. All questions were answered and all techniques were suited to our dogs particular needs. We will definitely be going to there classes in the near future.
Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
It’s fantastic to get a trainer who cares about your dogs well being as much as you do

Jake visited our house yesterday for a one to one session with our new puppy Rocco. It was great to get tips and advice on the best way to approach all the issues that come with a new puppy. We are now armed with toys and treats and ways to stop the bad habits setting in. Would definitely recommend a session for any new dog owner!!!

We had Jake to our house to help us with our little pup lucky. His advice was really helpful to us and I found that lucky was a lot calmer after his visit. I would recommend you would get him soon enough after investing in a new dog so you don’t get into any bad habits. Would recommend muddy paws dog training.

Just finished our 6 week puppy training class- a great experience especially for a first time dog owner like me. Jake gives a detailed booklet at the start and he gives daily tips/ advice on a class WhatsApp group so it’s more than just the weekly class. I would definitely recommend this class- our puppy Roxy has improved a lot since we started and even more so we now have the knowledge to be able to continue to train her properly in the months ahead

Just finished a 6 week class with my dog Cooper. Would highly recommend Jake I didn't know how to call or understand Cooper. The classes were great I got to learn to totally understand and teach Cooper and the Whats App group was excellent always there with help and advice you need. Definitely 5 star.

I adopted a very very troubled dog recently. Unfortunately it didn't work out as he was to far damaged. But in the 2 months I had niko I can honestly say Jake was brilliant. Niko came on so much in a short space of time. Jake has great knowledge and a great approach to training. Cant recommend him enough. Brilliant communication as well. Any time I had. A question or needed advice he was always quick to respond. 100% will be using muddy paws again.
Anyone looking for dog training should get onto him.
