Shanae created Tactical Paws in 2021. With the goal of creating dogs that can regulate, thrive and be the family dog they were supposed to be. With over 7 years of experience working with dogs and their owners, she specialises in behavioural training with a particular focus on reactivity and touch aversion.
We're here to help you understand the "why" behind your dog's behaviour and create a practical, realistic plan that works for you and your dog.
We're not here to create the perfect dog. We're here to help your dog become fulfilled, thrive and emotionally regulated, while giving you the confidence and understanding to navigate life together.
We believe lasting behavioural change comes from understanding, communication, emotional stability and fulfilling a dogs needs.

My approach is holistic, looking beyond behaviours to understand each dog’s individual needs, emotions and motivations. Prioritising fulfilment, clear communication and trust. I help build stronger relationships between dogs and their people, creating lasting positive change that supports both your dog and your lifestyle.
I joined Tactical Paws in 2024 after leaving my previous 3 year career in a doggy day care. My goal for every dog is giving them a fulfilled and happy life especially in the busy city life of London.
Urban environments can be challenging for dogs and I help their owners build a dog that can thrive. I have a rescue myself, and his name is Freddie. I’ve worked him through dog aggression and adapting to the busy city life.
I offer detection training, canine nutrition services, behavioural training and pet services for your companions. I run a local training community in North West London where confident handlers are built, and neutral dogs are formed. Not looking for training? No problem we offer dog walks and day services too.
I work with dogs in west London, supporting them through clear communication, structure and fulfilment. My approach is calm, practical and based on balanced principles that help dogs understand what’s expected of them, while still allowing them the freedom to be themselves.
I have experience with a range of dogs, including larger breeds, high energy dogs, adolescents. I have also worked with dogs who struggle with reactivity, poor social skills, recall and much more, which is uniquely difficult for owners in a busy city where dogs are faced with constant triggers.
My journey to working with dogs began with my dog, a Rottweiler, who struggled with handler aggression and explosive reactivity. It was a huge learning curve and gave me the push I needed, to join the industry.
At Tactical Paws I aim to provide reliable, individual support for each dog I work with, helping them build confidence, make better choices and enjoy a fulfilled life.
For professionals I offer tailored business and marketing support to help you achieve your goals.
Shanae has shown nothing but love and compassion for our Hank, and kindness and understanding towards us as rescue dog owners. Hank is a dog that needs help to learn boundaries but does not take well to compulsion or aggressive punishment techniques - Shanae's done the absolute opposite and helped him flourish through positive experiences. He is such a different dog to what he was 4 months ago when we were sadly faced with the possibility of putting him to sleep. Shanae has understood Hank and his needs more than we ever expected and helped us to see he is just scared of the world. Shanae saved Hank and were so grateful for her support in helping him become a wonderful family pet. We can’t recommended Shanae more highly.🐾
‘I’ve known Beth for a couple of years, she has a wonderful rapport with all the dogs she walks / trains my dog absolutely loves her . Since she started with her I have noticed an improvement in her behaviour in general when out and about. Queenie always is very happy to go with Beth, comes back often full of beans & muddy 🤣
I trust Beth completely & have recommended her to other dog owners. I don’t know what I would do without her. Highly recommended for all your dogs needs . She will help you whatever the issue calmly & supportively’
