About

Thank you very much for your interest in my professional dog training services.

I am proud to say that I've saved nine lockdown puppies from being surrendered to shelters, turning most of them around in a few hours ; some of these lockdown puppies with severe anxiety issues understandably, needed more time but are now happy dogs and I'm so grateful to their wonderful owners for their trust in me to help them and for being so invested in my puppy/dog training techniques.

Shahpari has been taking care of our dog since she was 9 weeks old. Sparkle absolutely loves her. She has done a amazing job training her, socialising her with other dogs and getting used to different environments. She sends multiple videos a day of her improvements, adeventures and wellbeing. Would highly recommend Shahpari. More...

8 April 2025

On numerous occasions during the last few years I have had the pleasure of working with and for Shahpari. As a dog walker and trainer she displays a deep, intuitive understanding of dogs. Her patient, structured approach leads to remarkable results. This is partly due to her training methods but also the warm.bond she establishes. Highly recommend. More...

Dog Walking

Shahpari, is an absolute please to work with, I have tried a few differing dog walkers/boarding... and I can not rate Shahpari high enough! She is caring, considerate a true dog lover... and it shows.

Always going above and beyond for Bella and I, and Bella jumps in to her arms and can't stop licking her when ever she sees her. Shahpari is very good with communication, constantly sending videos and updates so I know exactly how wonderful Bella's doggie adventures have been. And for boarding she offers a home away from home, and Bella is always very happy there. She also has lovely doggie clients, so Bella has lots of new besties which is really nice to see... 🥰 (and Bella needs with all her energy ❤️) x

I’ve just boarded and had training for my Dachshund and I can see he’s loved it. DUFY’s had a terrific time, lots socialising, cuddles, walks, recall, training and more. I felt safe as an owner that my dog was in good hands and would not hesitate to recommend Shahpari. 🐾💚 More...

Shahpari looked after our one year old puppy for the third time this weekend and as always it was a great experience. Frosty absolutely loves her and drags us to the door when we drop him off. Shahpari got him on the slip lead which we didnt know how to use properly before and since staying with her his behaviour on his lead has improved significantly. Everyday over his stay she sends multiple videos and updates with his adventures so we knew he was happy and safe at all times. I cant recommend Shahpari enough More...

Dog Walking

I have to write this as I am so surprised that Eli and Charles had such an awful time and gave her such a bad review.
She has looked after my dog boarded her walked her and trained her aswell and she gets so excited and waits at the door when I mention her name.
On the Saturday I bumped into Sharpari with the dogs who were all playing and running around and generally having so much fun.
When we left we could see Sharpari being pulled along and I was worried for her but she did everything in her power to care for the welfare of those dogs
I'm sorry you felt so badly ,your dog was gorgeous and I think it was unfair to speak so badly

Dog Training

Our experience with Shahpari wasn't good. We were supposed to leave our 1 year old Golden Retriever with her for a week, but had to go and pick him up after 3 days and a lot of stress.

Some facts:
- Our dog had just had a small surgery to repair a nail he had broken. The vet told us to keep a bandage on. Theo removed it, and we asked her to put it back on; but she just said he didn't want it on. Of course the dog doesn't want the bandage on; but with patience you can do it (the next sitters we took him to did it right away no problem). We also ask that she wipes the wound with these antiseptic wipes the vet gave us. She refused to use them saying that they had chemicals! and instead applied something else she had. Finally, when she showed us a video of where she had applied her own product, she was pointing at the wrong nail - she didn't even know where the injury was.
- Secondly, on the 2nd day Theo was with her, I noticed on a picture that she wasn't using the lead we gave her and made a gentle comment about the fact that he's a puppy on training and still pulling, and therefore it's better to use his chest harness rather than a lead attached to his neck. It was a suggestion. That led to about 20 messages saying that I was trying to micro manage her, and if I didn't like the way she looked after Theo I could come and pick him up. That was repeated in every message she sent from that point onward. My husband and I were on a vacation abroad, and spent hours really stressed trying to say to her that if she preferred to use her lead it was ok (to be honest, at this point we were just afraid for our dog as she seems really angry for just suggesting to use our harness, so we were just agreeing with her knowing we were coming to pick up our dog).
- Shahpari offered us a discount on her usual rate, which we accepted grateful. Now, we didn't ask for that discount. In fact, when she told us her rate, we said we couldn't afford her services and moved on. We had already started talking to someone else, when she called us again to say that she would reduce her price. So we accepted. Well, little we knew this would be held against us in every conversation. Every time she was able to, she threw that on our faces saying things like 'for the rate you're paying... xxx', or 'I had to decline other clients to take you on this rate....', etc. Please, don't offer rates you're not comfortable with, as it's very stressful for us to think that now you're unhappy and not looking after our dog properly.
- Again, in most texts she sent (and she sent loads), she said how bad my dog was. This is something a dog parent doesn't want to hear about, and in fact, it's incorrect. Theo has been with other trainers/sitters and nobody has ever complaint about him. He's just a young and energetic golden, and as someone who's experience with dogs, she should know better.
- There are other examples of things we didn't think were right during these 3 days, but I think you get the gist. We picked up Theo and took him to this sitter who's been raving about how wonderful he is to be around.

I would never use this person again. This was an awful experience and I'm glad it's over.

We had spoiled our puppy so much that he was naughty and had no education at all and we did not know what to do so we seek help and found Shahpari. She is an incredibly devoted dog trainer and definitely recommend her
Within few sessions we saw a huge difference and we can now start eating out with our puppy, walk in the street without him getting crazy at other dogs. And many others things that were hard to do I am extremely difficult and fussy and will not recommend someone unless I am pleased 100% .

11 February 2025

We really enjoyed working through the puppy basics course with Shahpari. Definitely needed and wanted someone 1:1 that came into our home and worked with the space we have and could see our set up. As a first time dog owner, that was invaluable. She was great with my 2 children, helping and encouraging them to engage in the sessions which again, I felt was invaluable. 3 hours in one go is probably unrealistic with a puppy and after an hour and a half or so Nellie lost focus and Shahpari was so accommodating and said she’d break the session in half and do the 2nd part the following weekend. I guess this was inevitable and perhaps could be planned this way instead of trying to do 3 hours together.
Shahpari very obviously adores dogs and pours her heart into what she does. She teaches that a firm, clear command and voice and tone are very important in training but that outside of this loving, fun playfulness is also just as important. She has a lovely way with dogs and helps you feel at ease especially when it’s all new!!
We all enjoyed working with Shahpari and thank her for all her knowledge and experience that she was able to share with us.
We will certainly be using her again as Nellie grows and moves into new phases and we really look forward to it!

We hired Shahpari to help train (and to help us with) our 9 week old Lab and she has been absolutely fantastic. Incredible experience with thoughtful, easily digestible tips and techniques to help from day 1 onwards with your puppy. We saw results immediately and after a few sessions (both in and out of the home with Shahpari) it feels like are well on our way to having the foundations for a wonderfully trained dog. We can’t thank Shahpari enough for her flexibility, dog confidence and guidance and we will certainly be using her again for some future training as our puppy grows up. Thank you Shahpari we would recommend you whole heartedly. More...

2 February 2025

We’ve been working with Shahpari since bringing our 8-week-old Maltipoo puppy, Tia, home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her guidance. As first-time pawrents, my husband and I were feeling a bit overwhelmed, but Shahpari instantly put us at ease. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and offers thoughtful, personalized advice on everything from training techniques to general dog care.

What stands out most is her warmth and genuine love for dogs. Tia absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that Shahpari has a natural ability to connect with puppies. She’s been a huge source of confidence for us, always providing clear, actionable recommendations for Tia’s well-being and development.

We highly recommend Shahpari to anyone looking for a trainer who not only excels in teaching but also cares deeply about the overall well-being of the dogs she works with. Thank you so much for everything, Shahpari —Tia is thriving because of you!

In addition to boarding, Shahpari has done training with my dog, and the results have been excellent. I've seen significant improvements in socialization, recall, and potty training thanks to her expertise. It's clear she truly loves and understands dogs, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so reliable and caring. I’ll definitely continue to be a repeat customer!

Shahpari has done her Pawtonomy course with us and our 12 week old mini dachshund Murphy. She was flexible and kind, knowing when Murphy needed to take a break. She taught us some very valuable things that have shown big improvements in his behaviour like redirection and recall. The off lead training was immense - I was incredibly anxious about this and she put us at the ease, taking us through Battersea Park to meet other dogs and socialise gently. We felt reassured knowing she was there the whole way to protect him.
She even went out of her way to find children to introduce him to as we don’t know any ourselves!
We felt 100% safe with her, have learnt so much as worried first time dog parents, and has been as good at training us as she is at training Murphy.
Even when I felt overwhelming she was so reassuring and encouraging.
We will definitely be working with Shahpari again and hope to do doggy boarding with her soon ❤️ Thank you!

Amazing Experience with Shahpari – Highly Recommended!

We had the pleasure of working with Shahpari for a 2-week boarding and training program for our dog, Efes. From the start, it was clear that Shahpari has a deep love for dogs, which showed in the care and attention she gave to Efes. Her training methods were highly effective and made a noticeable difference in Efes’ behavior. He came back much calmer and more obedient, and we could see how much he learned both from Shahpari and the other dogs in her care.

We really appreciated the frequent updates she sent us during the training. It kept us connected and reassured, knowing Efes was in great hands. The in-house training we received also made a big difference in how we communicate with him, which further improved our relationship and his behavior at home.

Shahpari truly cares about the dogs she works with, and it’s reflected in the results. Thank you so much for everything, Shahpari! We are beyond grateful for your help and highly recommend your services.

Shahpari is an excellent trainer who loves dogs. They stay at her flat, are able to chase each other round her garden and go for walks and outings to give them confidence with other dogs and in situations which previously frightened them.
Red the cocker-poodle benefitted hugely from staying two weeks with her, and I have learned about dogs’ personalities in dogs terms, as well as begun to understand how to manage my relationship with him.

Shahpari has been great with both my dogs. I left them with her for boarding a whole week and absolutely amazing!

Two border collies with lots of energy are not easy to handle and she absolutely managed to do so. She sent pictures and videos of them all the time, took many walks daily so they could play and be happy - she even trained the little one to be able to walk without a leash and be with other dogs without barking.

Simply amazing.

3 September 2024

I cannot say enough good things about Shahpari and the incredible work she did with my 10-month-old puppy during a 10-day board and train program. Before meeting Shahpari, my puppy struggled with socialization, frequently growling at other dogs during walks and having absolutely no training, not even recall. I was anxious about her behavior and unsure of how to train her.

Enter Shahpari—the best thing that has happened to me on my journey as a new dog parent. Within just a couple days, she not only taught my puppy essential recall and basic training commands but also got her walking off-leash with ease and gave her the confidence to socialize and play with other dogs. The transformation was nothing short of amazing.

One of the things that stand out most about Shahpari is her constant communication. She sent me 10-15 videos and photos every day, allowing me to stay connected and see my puppy’s progress. It was clear that my puppy was in excellent hands, and the love and care Shahpari provided were evident in every update. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s easy to see why.

Shahpari is not just an outstanding trainer; she is also a genuinely wonderful person whom I trust wholeheartedly. If you’re looking for someone to help with your pet, whether it’s for training, socialization, or just a little extra care, I cannot recommend her highly enough. Shahpari has made a world of difference in our lives, and I’m forever grateful! THANK YOU Shahpari!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Shahpari to train our dog, Charlie (8 year old cockapoo), and we couldn't be happier with the results. Shahpari truly loves dogs, and her passion for what she does shines through in every session. Her approach to training is both compassionate and effective, making the experience enjoyable for both us and Charlie.

With Shahpari's guidance, Charlie has become noticeably more patient. Her techniques are thoughtful and tailored to Charlie's specific needs, which has made a world of difference. She also helped us solve a long-standing issue with Charlie attacking our bin whenever we left him alone at home. Shahpari introduced a very effective trick that has completely stopped this behavior, giving us peace of mind when we’re away.

One of the most remarkable milestones we've achieved with Shahpari's help is walking Charlie off lead in the park for the first time since he lost his sight three years ago. This was a moment we never thought possible, but Shahpari's expertise and dedication made it happen.

We highly recommend Shahpari to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog trainer. She has truly transformed our lives and brought newfound joy and confidence to Charlie. Thank you, Shahpari, for your incredible work!

I cannot recommend Shahpari enough! She is an incredible human whose passion and love for dogs truly shines through in her training. I've been working with her to train my Cavapoo puppy, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. After just a few one-hour sessions, I can already see a remarkable difference in my puppy's behavior.

Shahpari goes above and beyond for her clients, ensuring that we receive the best possible training for our fur babies (and for us as owners)! Her approach is both thorough and effective, tailored to meet the specific needs of each dog. She takes the time to understand not only the dog but also the owner, creating a customized plan that fits perfectly into our lifestyle.

What really sets Shahpari apart is her patience and genuine care. She is always available to answer questions and provide guidance, even outside of our scheduled sessions. Her dedication to her passion and her clients is truly incredible.

If you're looking for a trainer who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to helping you and your dog succeed, look no further than Shahpari. She has made a world of difference in our lives, and I am so grateful to have found her!

Shahpari has been walking my 11 yrs old Cockerlier spaniel Darcy each day for an hour or so While I am at work. She is reliable, extremely patient, understanding and affectionate with Darcy whom I know has become quite attached to Shahpari from the get go. Everyday Shahpari sends me very touching video updates of their adventures together, which are always varied and fun, which makes me feel much less guilty about being away from Darcy during the working week, I wish I was on the adventure with them!! I know that Darcy's wellfare and happiness is Shahpari's number 1 priority, unlike other dog walkers/sitters who seem to collect dogs like trophies and walk them in huge packs with little regard for their needs individually. She has only ever walked DARCY on a one to one basis or max with 1 or 2 more dogs, but she carefully considers and juggles her diary so that the dogs she brings if she does bring, are appropriate fits with my Dog in terms or age, and temperament - this is Shahpari's master stroke, because at 11yrs old Darcy is, shall we say enjoying her twilight years and quite particular but there is life in this old dog yet thanks to Shahpari!!

I genuinely dont know what we'd do without her and thus I couldnt recommend her more highly!!!

Reply from Shahpari

Hi Vladimir, Thank you very much for your unkind review, which Bark insist that us professionals respond to. I'm sorry that you feel this way and surprised that you didn't call me first to discuss which is what normal people do, before writing your review, especially as we got on so well: But instead have chosen to write an inaccurate, unkind review with the intention to destroy my exemplary reputation on the Bark platform. As per all our conversation on WhatsApp, you were informed of my professional dog training services prior to booking and my 48 hour cancellation notice, namely: My hourly rate is £150 an hour and the three hour Fast Track Pawtonomy Course is reduced to £400 instead of £450 as it is 3 hours in one visit. We trained for the first hour last Saturday,during which I taught you Correct Recall, obedience techniques and potty training. Your puppy lost concentration after one hour as he's only 10 weeks old. I confirmed that I was more than happy to come back another time that would be convenient for you the following weekend to complete the following two hours of training for you. Perhaps, as English isn't yours or your husband Jonattan 's first language, you may have misunderstood the above. You asked if I also do doggie daycare, as you and your husband didn't want to leave your puppy alone for Tuesday and Wednesday due to your work schedules in your high powered jobs in the city, as your puppy's barking would disturb your neighbours. So, as a gesture of good will, I offered to do two full days of doggie daycare and complete the two hours training during last Tuesday and Wednesday this week, which you were received and grateful for. If you were not happy at the end of the day on Tuesday, may I respectfully ask why you accepted my services on Wednesday? You dropped your puppy off at 7am on Tuesday and Wednesday and collected him around 5pm, so you have had 20 hours in total for two extra hours training at my reduced rate, not including the doggie daycare fees that I generously gave you complimentary and have chosen to write an unsavory, inaccurate review to show your ungratefulness after I have gone over and above the call of duty to accommodate you! I'm a dog lover and have long term friendships and relationships with my clients and their dogs as evidenced in all my other 5 star reviews and an outstanding reference from a prominent Colonel in The Ministry of Defence (available upon request). I would therefore, appreciate it if you would be good enough not to defame my outstanding reputation: I am not your minion, Sir! It is clearly evidenced above, you have taken advantage of my professionalism and good nature. However, my offer to complete the following two hours of training with you still stands inspite of your unkind review, as I do everything with integrity. In the meantime, may I wish you, your husband Jonattan and your pomsky Freddy a very happy life together. Best regards, Shahpari

We were helping our son move into his new flat in London. Obviously it’s not practical to have a Springer Spaniel around when you’re trying to do this so I contacted Bark and Shahpari responded very quickly to my plea for help. I met her at Battersea Park and she started playing with Lily straight away, throwing the ball (Lily’s favourite thing!) and making a fuss of her. I felt comfortable straight away that she’d be well cared for for the afternoon. As the move took longer than we thought, I contacted Shahpari to let her know and she was very flexible and accommodating which meant we didn’t feel under pressure to pick Lily up until we’d finished. When we picked her up, she’d clearly had a lovely time and slept the whole 3 hour journey home! Thanks again Shahpari. We’ll definitely call on you again when in London with Lily. More...

Hi Tom, Thank you very much for your apology and confirming that there was a misunderstanding with regard to your unkind review posted yesterday evening as per your recent WhatsApp message received just now , "Hi It’s ok I posted the review before I knew anything about it. I was then focused on getting cover not updating review. I’ve had terrible delays and flights cancelled so I’m running to meetings I don’t know if I can amend after posting but I will try to find a way to once I am available to." With respect, please forgive me for having doubts with regard to your message above, as I cancelled half an hour after accepting your request to which your response was, "So sorry to hear that my dad has cancer and my mum just died of it so I understand your pain." Yet you immediately posted your unkind review afterwards! I called you on Monday at 7.01am (UK) dial tone prior to seeing your unkind review and again at 8.36am (European ring tone), yet you told me on Sunday afternoon when you booked me that your flight wasn't until 10am from the UK! In the meantime, Bark encourages us professionals to respond to inaccuate reviews such as yours, so please see my response to your review which you posted last night: Hi Tom, Thank you very much for your kind review: I have apologised to you a number of times and rather suprised as evidenced by your message. With respect, I contacted you last Friday morning and so may I please ask why you only called to book me last minute yesterday at 4pm despite having three full days to book me to look after your Dashschund for one day on Monday especially as you had other people interested to look after your Dashschund as in my years of experience, dog owners do not leave it to the last minute to book professional dog services for their precious dogs? So, with this in mind, please forgive me but I'm sure that you're able to appreciate now I'm having doubts as to the authenticity of your booking which leads me to believe that your review may be a set up to discredit my exemplary reputation, defame my good name and reputation and sabottage my business on the Bark platform due to your disorganisation to book adequate cover for your Dashschund in time for your flight at 10am on Monday morning as you told me during our telephone conversation at approximately 4pm on Sunday afternoon. I'm deeply sorry to have had no other choice but to have had to cancel last minute: Had you given me adequate time having had three full days to book me, I would have gladly arranged for a member of my family to cover for me in order to accommodate your urgent request. After notifying you that I was overstretched and that I would not be able to give your Dashschund the attention he deserves, apologising profusely to you, I sent you the following message on WhatsApp at 7am this morning and by text so as not to let you down, prior to seeing your review, "Hi Tom, Hope you're well. If you still haven't found anyone to look after your Dashschund, I'm more than happy to look after him today. I would be most grateful, if he can be dropped off and collected. Look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Shahpari" My offer still stands if you haven't found anyone to look after your Dashschund in spite of your unkind review, as I'm a dog lover and extremely reliable as evidenced all my other 5 star reviews and my exceptional references including one from a prominent Colonel in The Ministry of Defence, (available upon request to all potential client's), but it was an emergency which you clearly understood! I'm more than happy to look after your Dashschund for either one days doggie daycare or 24 hours dog boarding complimentary subject to adequate notice of 72 hours prior to your future requested date subject to my availability. In the meantime, I would be grateful for you to refrain from defaming my reputation from this date forth and thank you very much indeed for your apology. Many thanks. Kind regards, Shahpari

Shahpari is an excellent dog trainer. Very intuitive and generous with her time. My puppy responded very well to her and she sent extra training videos after the sessions to remind me of the technique. Highly recommend.
