Positively Pawsome Training Solutions was established in 2019 offering customized training plans, private behaviour consultations and group training programs. These services are provided both in person and on-line.
Positively Pawsome Training Solutions offer qualified canine training services in an unregulated industry. Our training method is exclusively evidence-based drawn from validated research in the fields of canine behaviour, learning theory and welfare. We use motivational techniques which include using markers, toys and food to train your dog - embracing and promoting their confidence.
Successful dog training is about educating you as the owner on how to implement a training program, manage your home environment, understand why a behaviour is happening in the first place and how to resolve an unwanted issue rather than us coming in to ‘fix your dog’.
Positively Pawsome Training Solutions is based in the Barossa Valley, but we can work with you no matter where you live. Training can take place via the online training packages anytime suitable for you, and we are available to contact personally Wednesday – Friday 11am-6pm South Australia time.
