At 4 Paws Inn & Hotel, we pride ourselves on delivering more than just a safe and enjoyable space for your pets—we’re pioneering the next generation of pet training. By integrating traditional behavioural training techniques with the power of technology, we’re reshaping how pets learn and grow. Through our YAPPI training strategy, we’re not only achieving impressive results but also setting a new standard in pet care and education.


Why Socialisation Training Matters

Socialisation is a critical aspect of a dog’s behavioural development. It’s more than just getting along with other dogs; it’s about learning to navigate the world with confidence and ease. Socialisation training teaches dogs to:

  • Interact Positively with Other Dogs: Whether through play or structured group exercises, pets learn how to engage without fear or aggression.

  • Adapt to Different Environments: Exposure to new sights, sounds, and smells in a controlled setting helps pets feel at ease in various scenarios.

  • Build Trust with Humans: Structured interactions with our handlers help foster trust, reducing anxiety and boosting overall confidence.


Our daycare provides the ideal environment for socialisation, offering a blend of structured training and natural play. This combination allows dogs to learn at their own pace while enjoying the company of their peers.


The Role of YAPPI Technology in Training

YAPPI is our game-changer. It’s an AI-powered platform that enhances every aspect of our training programmes, from initial assessments to post-course feedback. Here’s how YAPI elevates our training:

  • Personalised Learning Paths: YAPPI analyses each dog’s behavioural data to create a customised training plan tailored to their unique needs.

  • Daily Performance Metrics: Every training session is monitored, with data points collected on key behavioural traits such as social confidence, responsiveness, and adaptability.

  • Detailed Reporting: At the end of each course, YAPPI generates a comprehensive report that highlights progress, challenges, and future recommendations. This empowers pet parents with insights into their dog’s growth and areas to focus on at home.

  • Seamless Communication: With real-time updates sent directly to parents, including photos and videos, YAPPI ensures parents are always informed and involved in their pet’s journey.


ECC-ETC Framework: A Systematic Approach to Training

Our training is guided by the ECC-ETC framework, a structured methodology that ensures every session is purposeful and effective:

  • Engage: Building a connection with the dog to understand their personality, triggers, and comfort zones.

  • Condition: Reinforcing positive behaviours through repetition and reward.

  • Correct: Gently addressing undesirable behaviours, guiding dogs toward better

    responses.

  • Evaluate: Continuously assessing progress, identifying areas of improvement.

  • Track: Leveraging YAPPI’s analytics to monitor growth and behavioural changes.

  • Communicate: Providing clear, actionable feedback to pet parents for continued improvement at home.


Expanding Our Vision: The Training Centre

Our vision for the training centre extends beyond just pet training. It’s a comprehensive hub for both pets and professionals, offering:

  • Professional Development: Training individuals in pet services such as grooming, daycare management, and advanced behavioural techniques. This ensures a steady pipeline of skilled professionals ready to join the 4 Paws Inn & Hotel franchise network.

  • Innovative Programmes: From our signature Socialisation Integration Course to advanced behaviour modification courses, we’re continually developing programmes that cater to various needs.

  • Franchise Support: As 4 Paws expands, the training centre will play a pivotal role in onboarding and upskilling staff across new locations.


Leveraging Technology for Unmatched Training

The combination of hands-on training and AI-driven insights allows us to provide a level of service that sets us apart. Parents can see tangible progress through the data and media provided, ensuring transparency and trust. Our focus on using technology doesn’t just streamline operations; it enhances the training outcomes, making each session more impactful.


Real Success Stories: Jesper and Luna

To see this in action, look no further than two of our recent graduates, Jesper and Luna. Both completed our Socialisation Integration Course, and the results have been remarkable. Using YAPPI, we provided their parents with detailed daily updates, including photos and videos, and at the end of the course, a comprehensive report outlining their achievements.


Jesper and Luna’s success is a testament to the power of combining expert handling with AI support. Not only did they gain confidence and improve their social skills, but their parents also received valuable insights into their progress and future recommendations.
