About the Paws and Trails Club
The Paws & Trails Club was founded by Eva, alongside her Sprocker Spaniel, Ayla.
When Ayla came to her as a puppy, she faced early health concerns and behavioural challenges that quickly reshaped Eva’s understanding of what it means to support a dog. Wanting to help her thrive, Eva immersed herself in learning, observing, adapting, and rethinking canine behaviour and emotional needs.
That journey transformed not only Ayla’s behaviour, but their entire relationship. Ayla grew into a fulfilled, happy dog, able to navigate the world with ease.
Today, Eva offers training, daycare and boarding in London. By working with natural instincts and individual sensitivities, she helps build focus, emotional steadiness, and confidence to navigate daily life with greater ease.
While she has a developed a strong understanding of high-drive, reactive, and sensitive temperaments, her services are designed for every dog. The aim is always the same: calm engagement, balance, and a well-rounded state of mind.
In addition to boarding and training, Eva offers Neutral Walks with Honest Hounds, offering a safe and carefully guided environment for dogs who need support around others, whether they are reactive, easily overwhelmed, or simply learning to feel comfortable in social settings.
For those wanting to learn more, the first month of Honest Hounds' Education Zone is just £1 with the code NWLEVA
