We run 6 week courses at Colden Common Community Centre. Our classes are designed to cover the basics of your training including settling on a mat, greeting other dogs, loose lead, recall, not jumping up, mental stimulation, waits, toilet training, sleeping, chewing and biting and much more!

Our Junior Classes are designed for pups aged 17 weeks up to 24 weeks of age. These classes are held at Colden Common Community Centre on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Fun Agility
Our fun agility sessions are held from April until October on selected Saturday afternoons, weather permitting. Small classes so individual attention can be given. Each session lasts one hour. and booking is essential.
Perfect Fit Harnesses
I am a stockist of the Perfect Fit Harness from Dog-Games. Harnesses are much nicer for dogs than collars because it takes the pressure off the neck. The harness comes in three pieces to allow a snug and perfect fit for your individual dog. As your dog grows you should only have to replace one or two pieces at a time. Here's the link if you would like to know more www.dog-games-shop.co.uk/perfect-fit-fleece-dog-harness I can carry out harness fittings before and after class. If you would like to book a fitting please get in touch.

Reviews
“I hated puppy classes until I went to Positive Training For Canines. Not only do I look forward to training but so does my dog! For the first time in my life (after many many years of having dogs) I have a dog that walks nicely on lead for the first time!!!!! With no harsh corrections and because she wants to!!!!! I can not recommend highly enough!! Leah is so easy to talk to and very supportive and understanding!! I wish my training would never stop to be honest! Mell and Mimi ❤️”

“Leah is a star! We have been attending Leah's weekly sessions since Frank (Border Terrier) was 9 weeks old. Whilst Frank is still technically a puppy and has a little work to do, I do not doubt that he would be incredibly worse off without Leah's intuition. From toilet training to recall off-lead and everything in between, Leah has covered it all for us. Frank is extremely obedient, well-mannered and most importantly happy. Leah has completely changed the way we think when it comes to training Frank and makes everything seem so easy to teach. Leah has introduced a brand new perspective on training a puppy that we hadn't thought of before. Leah's approach is very non-judgemental, and no question is a silly question. The sessions are tailored in a way that is easy to understand, and Leah is always happy to demonstrate. ”

“Leah was recommended to me 7 years ago when our 5 year old Spaniel x Staffy became reactive to other dogs when we added a new puppy to our family. Taking Leah’s classes and learning from her about positive reinforcement training and how to read doggy body language was utterly transformative and enabled me to learn how to understand and help my dog through his fears and anxieties. The puppy also benefited from Leah’s classes and workshops. 7 years on and we have another new puppy, a Springer Spaniel x Collie/Lurcher, so of course we signed up to Leah’s puppy classes. Every class is fun, well organised and full of useful tips. I know that Leah is always on hand to help with any problem in her calm and confidence giving way. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“We have used Leah for many years, from our second puppy (who is now 5 years old) and subsequently our third (who is only 10 months old), both rottweilers. Not only do our dogs love going to training classes, but we always leave with some more tips and tricks in the bag for use when we are at home or out and about as well as some tired pupper brains. If we ever have issues with the dogs, Leah is quick to work with us to resolve it before it develops into a deeper problem and we will continue to use her for years to come. I highly recommend any of her classes for any dog owner.”

“Leah and team have been great. We attended the puppy and junior classes. Leah was accommodating when our puppy was experiencing issues with travel that meant we needed to pause the class. Leah and team always have time to explain specific exercises and answer questions, even if unrelated. It’s all starting to pay dividends.”
- Tom Mursell
“We've taken our puppy Max through two series of classes with Leah. They've been both enjoyable and incredibly useful for Max, my partner and I. We'll definitely be returning to Leah for some follow-ups and specific guidance, would definitely recommend!”

“I took my puppy to Positive Training For Canines to help me learn the basics in training but also to socialise her. I found these classes very useful with a relaxing but fun atmosphere. Leah and Paula are very knowledgeable trainers who have a real passion for the job. I would highly recommend joining their classes. ”
