π Claire - Dog Behaviour and Training Consultant and Dog Walker π
Hi there! ππΌ
I'm Claire, founder of Dugs Paws, and a dog enthusiast on a mission to spread joy and harmony among our canine companions. My journey into the world of dog care began with my own German Shepherd, Diesal, who taught me that every walk should be a delightful experience.
Along our strolls, I faced judgment from other dog owners who couldn't see past stereotypes. It was disheartening, and I knew I wasn't alone in this struggle. So, I sought guidance from a local dog trainer and joined a training group for a year with Diesal, where my passion for dog training blossomed.
Inspired by our challenges, my partner Wullie and I founded a German Shepherd Only dog training club to break stereotypes and foster a supportive community. Starting in July 2018, the club has flourished, boasting over 20 members who come together weekly to share the love for our German Shepherds.

π ME & MY TWO πΆπΆ
πΆπΆπΆ
In March 2020, I took the leap and launched Dugs Paws, a venture that reflects my dedication to helping dog owners, especially those with German Shepherds, overcome challenges. The journey has been incredible, and our efforts have borne fruit – Diesal is now a certified Therapy dog with 'Canine Concern Scotland,' bringing comfort to hospitals and universities.
Our furry family has grown to include Radar, who joined us in October 2022. Currently in training to become a therapy dog, Radar follows in Diesal's pawprints, offering support to dogs in training. We also welcomed Bleu, a 6-year-old sweetheart, in the aftermath of a tragic accident. While settling into our home, Bleu has shown her calm and balanced nature, making her a fantastic stooge dog for training.
π AND THEN THERE WERE 3 πΆπΆπΆ
ππ¦Ί Our dogs aren't just pets; they're companions on our motorhome adventures, friendly faces in cafes, and a source of comfort in any setting.
π©· Dugs Paws is not just a business; it's a celebration of the joy and companionship our canine companions bring to our lives.
Join us on this heartwarming journey, where every pawprint tells a tale of love and friendship!
