Welcome to Pawsitive!

Pawsitive is a dog training club based in Bournemouth, Dorset (UK). It's run by father and daughter team, Malcolm Hewitt and Katie Spicer. You can find out more about Pawsitive and both Malcolm and Katie on the About Us page.

This site covers many aspects of the services we offer, and dog training in general. More information can be found about our courses (which includes puppy training, right through to show standard obedience, and the opportunity to take part in our demo team) and the kind of training we do on the Courses page. The Venues page shows where we hold our training classes, as well as listing the dates and times of our training sessions each week. On the Events page, you can find out about any upcoming special events we are planning, as well as details of past events - it currently shows some photos from our recent Novelty Dog Show and Fun Day.

The training methods we use here at Pawsitive not only focus on obedience training, with the objective of achieving a well behaved, obedient dog, we also put a lot of emphasis on socialisation, and fun! We all need to have fun, humans and dogs alike, and the methods we use in the training of dogs are those of fun and reward. As a little bit of fun and reward for us humans, many dog-related jokes and funny lists, as well as photos, can be found on our Just For Fun pages.

If you have any queries or questions, please feel free to contact either myself, or Malcolm Hewitt. Our contact details can be found on the Contact Us page. This page also lists the location, days and times of our training sessions each week.

Friday Evenings - NEW Class Times!

Due to an on-going increase in class sizes, and our desire to limit the number of dogs in each class, we have decided to increase the number of classes we offer on a Friday evening to four. As a result, the times of all classes have now changed. Go HERE to find out the new times.

Fun Day and Novelty Dog Show

We had a fantastic Fun Day during the summer.
