About us

Jan Whiffin

I am an accomplished trainer and NVQ assessor, working many years in the catering industry training both craft and systems skills. Along with husband Dave I own 2 springer and 2 clumber spaniels, Stiegl (in the picture) was bred by Jo, he's our Stud dog and is a 3 times Crufts qualifier. I now run the Paw-works offering small mammal microchipping and pregnancy ultrasound in south Cambridgeshire. I also have e diploma in canine health and nutrition and a canine first-aid trainer. As well as working my spaniels, we've also tried our paws at a number of dog sports including agility, flyball and scentwork.

Jo Prentice

I've owned dogs since 1988, bred Canadian champions and Crufts qualifiers.  I've helped and advised many people on breeding their dogs, whelping and puppy rearing, as well as working in rescue for bull breeds and English springer spaniels. I have a wealth of experience breeding and rearing  terriers, gundogs and pedigree cats. I currently own 3 clumber spaniels including Stiegl's Mum and half brother. Over the years I have experienced the best and worst of breeders and now want to help people avoid the mistakes I have made. I am also trained in pet pregnancy ultrasound and canine first-aid.

Reviews

I’ve just completed the paw-works on line first aid course! Even if you are just a caring dog owner and don’t want to be a first aider, the helpful tips and advice on how to prevent or recognise conditions such as bloat, poisoning, heatstroke or hypothermia make this course worth every penny. It’s so easy to follow and understand and arms you with information that’ll help keep your dog safe.

 As a Dog Behaviour and Training Professional, I am always on the lookout for suitable and useful resources for my clients as well as furthering my own knowledge. Today I took the Paw-Works First Aid Course and was very impressed with the content and will recommend that anyone with a dog, who would like to know how to deal with an emergency take this course.

 As first time breeders we were looking for a course we could understand. Just completed the Foundations of healthy breeding course. Very helpful and easy to understand. The printed off lessons are a great asset to refer back to. Highly Recommended
