Dog and Puppy training in Northumberland

Pawsitive Skills Bespoke Dog Training offers dog and puppy training covering South East Northumberland, which ​focuses on building the bond between ​you and your dog; meaning your dog ​does what you ask because they want ​to, not because they have to.

Dog training isn’t just about your dog. ​The most integral part of the training process is you. That’s why we work with you to make sure you can take training forward for lifelong learning. ​We help build a bond, so you can have a harmonious life.

Our desire is for you and your dog to have a calm, well rounded relationship, meaning you can live your lives to the fullest. We aim to make your dog dreams a reality.

We will not train your dog for you, we believe in giving you the ability to be able to train your dog in any skill throughout their lives and in any environment. We will work alongside you to help discover what really makes your dog tick and how to use that to your own advantage – even if we have to stand on the side lines making silly noises.

Puppy Skills

Our puppy training courses  are fun interactive training sessions using games to keep things exciting for your pup. We know you don’t want a livewire all the time though so we end each session with a calm activity. You will learn the basic commands, but also so much more and we’re open to throwing a little trick or two in there – like how to get the perfect selfie.

Currently being offered as one to one training across South East Northumberland.

One to One dog training in  Northumberland

One to one dog training can cover more bespoke puppy training, or work on things like separation anxiety; which I have done further training on.

Dog Show Coaching

Show coaching is new in my repertoire but I’m certainly enjoying it and we’re seeing great results – both in the pedigree ring and in the fun dog show arena. These are a great way of building your dog’s focus on you, but the shows themselves are another brilliant way of building up that bond between you.
