Paws for Thought was formed in 1988 and is based in Hereford, West Midlands.

The team travel throughout Great Britain, the handlers have all been members of West Mercia Dog Training Centres and all the dogs are family pets, the majority being rescue dogs.

The aim of the team is to entertain the non dog owning and dog owning public alike. Special emphasis is given to entertaining and involving children.

Via the commentary given by Stuart Brace (Team Instructor), there is also another very important aim that is to educate dog owners into becoming responsible for their pets, this ranges from being in control of the dog to cleaning up after it.
