Pulling on the lead. Zero recall. We get it. It's exhausting, it's frustrating, and it takes over your life. We've been there. We can help with professional dog training, whether you need dog recall training, dog lead training, or support to stop your dog pulling on the lead.
Every dog is different, so every plan we build is different. We use science-backed methods tailored to your dog and your situation. No templates, no guesswork, just a clear plan that gets results.
We've helped countless owners in Hungerford go from dreading every walk to enjoying them again. Dogs that once couldn't cope are now calm, confident, and reliable thanks to our practical real life scenario dog training, effective dog recall training, and tailored behavioural support. The results speak for themselves.
If we can't help you see real progress, you get your money back. It's that simple. We won't promise perfection, but we will give you and your dog our full professional commitment, no exceptions. Our dog training programmes are designed to deliver lasting results for dogs and owners across Hungerford and beyond.
Getting started is simple. Our friendly admin team lets you schedule an assessment at a time that works for you. No hoops to jump through (we save those for the dogs).
This is where the magic begins. Our consultations help us understand your dog, their personality, background, history, and the dynamic between the two of you. It's also your chance to meet the team and get a feel for the training methods we might recommend. The more we know, the better we can tailor the journey ahead. After all, no two dogs are the same, and guesswork isn't in our vocabulary.
Based on your assessment, we'll identify the service best suited to your dog and your goals. From there, we build a tailored training curriculum that addresses your dog's priorities, informed by our trainers' expert recommendations. Think of it as a living plan, one that adapts and evolves as your dog progresses. Your programme may include dog engagement training, dog loose lead walking training, dog lead training, and real life scenario dog training depending on your goals.
Life is busy. That's why we offer both in-person sessions at home and remote dog training, so you can stay on track no matter what your schedule looks like. Whether you choose in-person or remote dog training, you'll receive the same expert guidance from an experienced dog trainer.
Once your course is complete, your trainer will guide you on next steps, but the journey doesn't have to end there. You're always welcome back, and we have plenty of continuation services to keep the momentum going, ensuring your dog training success continues long after your programme finishes.
Growing up surrounded by the joyful chaos of Labradors and Spaniels sparked a lifelong obsession with dogs, naturally paving the way for my career in canine behaviour. By 2013, I was already working as a canine professional, but my passion for obedience dog training got a massive jolt when my family welcomed a two-month-old Beagle into our home. It didn't take long to realise that all my previous experience hadn't quite prepared me for the delightful and demanding quirks of such a spirited little hound.
This humbling realisation sent me diving headfirst into the science of canine behaviour. I spent countless hours devouring advanced online courses, rolling up my sleeves in kennel environments, and studying the most effective, evidence-based training methods available. My commitment to helping owners through professional dog training, dog engagement training, dog discipline & impulse control, and real life scenario dog training has never been stronger, and today I'm proud to support dogs and their owners throughout Hungerford and beyond.

"Spike" has been superb. knowledgeable, friendly and really patient. Baxter was struggling to recall and pulling me everywhere when walking on the lead. Within the first training session Scott managed to get Baxter to recall to me and now Baxter walks to heel. We have a completely different dog now thanks to Scott "spike" and his training.

Can't thank Spike enough. Our cocker spaniel Mabel was refusing to recall when out on walks. We were afraid to let her off the lead but after two training walks with Spike at Paw And Disorder Mabel's recall now faultless. Spike also took the time to explain boundaries inside and outside the house and was always on the phone when we needed further advice. I would definitely recommend Paw And Disorder and when we get a brother or sister for Mabel we'll be using Spike again.

Scott is helping us through the dog behaviour maze. Our 19 month old rottie loves learning through play. What an amazing time we are both having. Can’t thank you enough.

We always look forward to our sessions with Scott at Paw and Disorder! His training is fun, engaging, and really tailored to both us and our dog, Hippo. Whenever Hippo spots Scott out and about, he gets so excited — which says it all! During training, he’s focused and eager to learn, and we’ve seen such amazing progress. We genuinely love our sessions and will definitely continue working with Scott. Highly recommend! 🐾

I can’t recommend Scott highly enough. We had been having recall problems with my 5 year old German Wirehaired Pointer Millie for years, and within a few sessions she is like a different dog. Thanks Scott.

Scott is a superstar. He treats our little ones like his own, and their tails are wagging when they hear "Uncle Spike" pull up.

I can highly recommend Paw & Disorder. Lead pulling and recall issues were causing dog walks to be a chore rather than a pleasure but since working with Spike a corner has been turned. Through informative instruction, guidance and a great deal of patience ( more for me that Molly!) Dog walks have become a lot less stressful and enjoyable. Thoroughly grateful for Paw & Disorder's help and can wholeheartedly recommend them.

I have known Spike for a few years, and he’s nothing short of a true professional and an outstanding dog trainer. Spike is a genuinely great guy and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience, ensuring you and your K9 will be in the best hands possible. Although we have only had our little Disney for a fews years, the advice and tips I’ve received from Spike no doubt proved invaluable to this day. Without question, I would highly recommend Spike to anyone as I know they and their K9 would benefit greatly.

As Alice is our first dog, we didn’t have much experience in training her. We were worried that our lack of knowledge might lead her to be poorly behaved. Fortunately, we came across Paw And Disorder, and they guided us step by step on how to train Alice, manage her routine, and provided us with valuable knowledge as dog owners. We are very grateful for all the sessions and how effectively they have helped Alice integrate into our family and lifestyle.

Before contacting Pawanddisorder I would walk my dog at stupid times of day/night to avoid people , dogs , and everything else she was so reactive/aggressive and so stressed , I used to dread “walkies” , but now even after only 4 sessions my cane corso is so much more relaxed ! No more barking or lunging , more obedience on walks , and she actually trusts me a lot more , we don’t use punishment , we just take it steady every session to ensure the dog is calm , engaged and focused on me . 5* given truly a lifesaver ! Highly recommend

Initially drawn to Paw & Disorder for the name but stayed because it turns out my dogs weren’t the only problem, and humans are trained at no extra cost. If you’re looking for a no-judgement, no-ridiculous-rules approach and real-life training that works, I can’t recommend Scott highly enough.
by Sarah Edwards
Spike has been superb with our shepherd. We’d been struggling with recall and lead walking but within three session our boy is now like a different dog. All our sessions have been fun, informative and engaging. We’re so pleased we went to spike at paw and disorder.
