Katie and Emily both ran their own dog walking businesses and decided to team up to create Paws & Claws together with the aim of reaching and helping more dogs as a duo. Katie and Emily know the importance of early socialisation and exercise and believe this to be the key to a happy and healthy dog.

​

Katie and Emily have both rescued dogs throughout their lives and in 2020 Emily rescued Finn, a Pomeranian X Spitz cross. Finn had not been socialised as a puppy and had never met another dog or even been on a single walk. Finn was a very frightened and confused dog. After months of hard work and dedication Emily has managed to get back some of those important early lessons that Finn missed out on and after being told that he would never be able to be around other dogs he now lives with two others, joins the group play sessions and is a happy confident pooch.

​

Paws & Claws aims are to provide fun and safe environments for dogs across Nottingham to be able to socialise with other dogs, make many new friends and get that all important exercise at the same time! Our group play sessions are a huge success, with many lessons to be learnt through the language of play.
