Positive Puppy Education and Training
Prepare your puppy for life.
About us:
Positive Puppy Education and Training is run by Behavioural Referrals Veterinary Practice. Our courses are designed through the experience of working with dogs with emotional disorders with the aim of preventing future problems. You never get the first few essential months of your puppy’s life back and so we aim to support you through this period to help set your puppy up for life in our human world. We only use positive training methods which are important to help build a strong bond between you and your puppy.
We offer training classes, and one-to-one sessions. For more information about our courses, please see below.
Training classes
Our next class start dates are:
- Saturday 25th July 2026
£80.00
Our 6-week Puppy Class is designed to give you and your puppy the perfect start together. With a maximum of 5 puppies per class, each session provides plenty of individual guidance and support.
We focus on building your puppy’s confidence, awareness, and life skills using only positive, reward-based training methods. This approach helps you understand the emotional motivations behind your puppy’s behaviour, so you can respond effectively in real-life situations.
Throughout the course, you’ll gain valuable insights into dog behaviour and communication, while your puppy learns how to interact appropriately with other dogs and people.
Each enrolment also includes a Positive Puppy Booklet, packed with helpful tips and guidance to support your training journey at home.
