The Pawsitive Approach

Pawsitive will help you train your dog and resolve behaviour problems using kind, effective methods that get great results.​

​

As the name suggests, Pawsitive uses dog (and owner!) friendly techniques to teach your dog exactly what it is that you do want from it, as well as which behaviours you do not. Often, the messages owners give their dogs are unclear or inconsistent, making it unnecessarily difficult for the dog to understand what is wanted from it or how to behave appropriately. When these lines of communication break down, problems often develop.

Training dogs and improving behaviour is really about teaching you, the owner, how to communicate more effectively with your dog. In practice this involves helping your dog understand that consistent, predictable rule structures guide its interactions and daily life with those around it. Once owners learn how to make desired behaviours rewarding - and unwanted ones unrewarding - dogs quickly learn to make better choices. This works to improve listening & responsiveness, strengthen the bonds you share with our dog and enhances your quality of life together.
