Who We Are
Hi! I'm Estelle - owner of Lucky's Paws Dog Training & Behaviour Services.
We are based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and specialise in one-to-one training and behaviour support; puppy classes, structured pack walks and practical workshops. Our services cover most of West and South Yorkshire.
Learn more about usOur approach
There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each dog is assessed as an individual, so the plan fits the dog in front of us and the life you actually live together.
Our training programmes focus on modifying not only a dog’s behaviour but also a dog’s emotional response to a situation or stimulus.
We focus on the human at the other end of the lead, just as much as the dog. Our role is to ensure owners feel confident in their ability to implement the training. Our community provides a supportive environment to practice your new skills.
I take a balanced approach to dog training, which is incredibly effective and has allowed clients who thought they were beyond hope, to work towards things they never thought possible.
Who we work with
We specialise in one-to-one training and behaviour support, puppy classes, structured pack walks and practical workshops. One-to-one sessions cover most of West and South Yorkshire, with classes held in Huddersfield.
These goals include working through:
- Reactivity
- Aggression
- Separation Anxiety
- Poor Recall
- Pulling on The Lead
- Fearful Behaviour
- Resource Guarding
- Over Excited Behaviour / Inability to Settle
What makes us different
I have substantial hands-on experience with a diverse range of dogs which is largely down to my background in dog rescue.
My knowledge does not just come from books and courses but from working hands-on with dogs every day since 2018; both here in the UK and overseas. Having the theoretical knowledge is one thing but being able to tailor and implement that with the dog and owner in front of you is another. In my practice, this is something I am a incredibly passionate about.
My job during our sessions is to give owners the skills and confidence to implement the training so that between and after our sessions, they can continue to make progress and work towards their final goal.
Being part of our training programme means that you will have my support throughout the entire training journey with your dog - not just in our booked sessions, but between and after. This is where true behaviour change occurs.
I ask clients for as many updates as possible so that we can make tweaks and changes between sessions so that the training does not plateau.
Lucky’s Legacy Rescue
Alongside Lucky’s Paws, I founded Lucky’s Legacy Rescue: a 100% volunteer-run charity supporting the rescue and responsible rehoming of dogs from Romania.
The charity began in 2018 after I started looking into overseas adoption and realised there was so much more I could do.
Lucky’s Legacy Rescue now supports dogs before, during and after rehoming; works with shelters in Romania; runs a rehabilitation programme for dogs here in the UK and funds ongoing spay and neuter work.
