Don’t see your dog’s behaviour on the list? Don’t worry! Contact us & we’ll help you decide on a course of action. We also do Basic Obedience training to ensure a harmonious home life.
Private Training (non aggressive dogs)
Training should be an enjoyable experience for you and your dog. Unfamiliar surroundings can be a source of anxiety, which inhibits your dog’s learning.
Our one-on-one training sessions in the privacy and comfort of your home mean less stress for you, and less stress for your canine companion. We can also deal with your dog’s behaviours where they happen—at home!

Private Training ('Aggressive' Dogs)
‘Aggressive’ can mean different things to different people. For our purposes, an aggressive dog is one who has bitten a person hard enough to create a puncture & draw blood.
When you think about it, we expect a lot from the dogs in our family. We generally want them to interpret situations & react in what we would consider an appropriate manner. That’s a pretty tall order for a non-human who doesn’t speak our language!
Through training, prevention & management, Pawsitive Culture can help you through the challenges of living with an aggressive dog.

Out & About
Real life situations are the best place to practice your skills. We’ll work on training methods for use while out on walks, in the kinds of conditions that you encounter every day. Plus it’s a great way to get out and give your pup some extra exercise!
We can follow your usual walk route, meet at a favourite park, or try an entirely new location. No matter where we are, there will be lots of ways we can put your new training knowledge to work.

Behaviour Assessments & Shelter Dogs
Adopting from a shelter or rescue is a wonderful way to add a furry friend to your family. It’s important, though, to find a dog who is a good fit for your family. Behaviour Assessments provide indispensable insights into a dog’s personality and needs. This ensures that each dog gets the right family, and your family gets the right dog!
Unfortunately, not all shelters and rescues have staff or volunteers with training and/or behaviour experience. They do take notes and make observations on each dog, but these may be missing key elements that can strongly impact a dog’s transition to a new home.
At Pawsitive Culture, we have the expertise and experience needed to fill in those gaps. We will take all of the data from the shelter or foster home and combine it with our own independent Behaviour Assessment. We can then make a very informed recommendation to help you choose and support your new dog.
