Why Choose Pawsitive Steps Academy?

  • Each dog has personalised training goals, created and guided by a professional trainer. Goals may include loose leash walking, recall, calmness, impulse control, or confidence building.

  • Days are carefully balanced with structured training sessions, opportunities for socialization with other dogs, and real world experiences that challenge the mind and body.

  • Families receive a comprehensive written report with photos and videos at the end of each day, giving you clear insight into your dog’s progress. Each report also includes homework and training handouts, so you can continue reinforcing what your dog has learned at home.

Puppy Pawsitive Steps

Half Day Academy - held Mondays

A puppy’s early months are the most important window for learning and socialization. This gentle, half-day program sets the foundation for a lifetime of confidence and good behaviour.

  • Puppies attend in very small groups, to ensure a safe and supportive experience.

  • Sessions focus on early socialization, introducing puppies to new sights, sounds, people, and other dogs in a positive way.

  • Core foundation skills are taught, such as sit, down, recall, and settling on a mat, all while incorporating play and fun.

  • Confidence-building activities help your puppy learn to approach the world with curiosity instead of fear.

  • Families receive updates and take-home guidance, and training handouts, so you can continue reinforcing your puppy’s new skills at home.

This program gives your puppy the very best start, setting them up for success in PSA or other training as they grow.
