What an amazing day! ✨

We were so lucky to spend the day learning with the wonderful Hazel Ralston, Tellington TTouch Practitioner, and what a day it was!

It was incredible to see Tellington TTouch working its magic — not only with the dogs, but with the humans too. By the end of the day, everyone was wrapped up, relaxed and taking the time to simply be.

We saw some truly lovely changes throughout the day:
🐾 Dogs who initially barked at each other eventually settled and were lying peacefully, even falling asleep alongside one another.

🐾 Dogs who previously couldn't tolerate having their paws touched were able to allow their paws to be handled through choice and consent.

🐾 The groundwork exercises demonstrated just how important balance is, and how using two points of contact on a harness can help bring the body back into balance and encourage more mindful movement.

🐾 The labyrinths encouraged the dogs to slow down, think about where they were placing their feet and move with greater awareness rather than simply rushing through.
One of the biggest things we took away from the day was that every part of the body is connected, and the whole body needs to be in balance.

At the heart of Tellington TTouch are some incredibly important principles:

Awareness • Softness • Choice • Consent

By reducing tension and allowing the dog to have more choice and control, we can help to build trust, confidence and a greater sense of security.

It was wonderful to watch both dogs and humans relax, learn and connect throughout the day. 💕

A huge thank you to Hazel for sharing her knowledge, experience and passion with us. It was a truly special day, and we can't wait to continue learning and developing our TTouch journey. 🐾

Those of you that have worked with me will know how much I love Sarah Fisher's work. 😀

Sarah Fisher had so many wise words for those who worked with her. This is one that serves as a reminder to us all that our dog's struggles are real and they are not always easy for us to navigate. But getting to the other side and seeing them shine makes it all worthwhile.

Thank you Sarah ❤️

Our next Puppy Plus class starts on Monday 24th August, and we have just a couple of places remaining!

Puppy Plus is ideal for older puppies and those beginning to navigate the challenges of adolescence. It’s the perfect opportunity to build on those important foundations, strengthen your communication and help your puppy develop the skills they need as they grow.

Over the 6-week course we’ll be:

🧠 Exploring how breed, genetics and emotions can influence learning
🎯 Developing valuable life skills
❤️ Looking at how we can use reinforcement effectively
🌱 Helping you understand and support your puppy as they grow and change
✨ Continuing to build confidence, focus and thoughtful responses

As always, our training is force-free and based on positive reinforcement, helping you and your puppy learn together while strengthening your relationship.

📅 Starts Monday 24th August
🐾 A couple of places still available

If you have an older puppy who is ready for the next stage of their learning, Puppy Plus could be just what you’re looking for!

**There are now only a few weeks to go and just a handful of spaces remaining! **

We’re SO excited to be hosting a Tellington TTouch Workshop! 🌟
We are absolutely delighted to welcome the amazing Hazel Ralston, a qualified Tellington TTouch Practitioner, to Positive Paws Dog Training.
Hazel brings a huge wealth of knowledge and experience. As well as being a TTouch Practitioner, she is a Fear Free Groomer, has completed three ACE Freework modules, and has extensive experience in Scentwork.
What we particularly love about Hazel is that everything she does is centred around understanding dogs and supporting their emotional wellbeing. She is passionate about helping dogs feel safe, confident and understood, recognising that behaviour is often a reflection of how a dog is feeling. Her kind, thoughtful approach aligns beautifully with our own values here at Positive Paws.
This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to learn gentle, practical techniques that can help strengthen your relationship with your dog while supporting relaxation, confidence and emotional wellbeing.
This workshop isn't just for dog guardians—it is also ideal for groomers, veterinary professionals, dog trainers, behaviourists, rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone who works with or has a passion for dogs. Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of canine behaviour and wellbeing or add another valuable skill to your professional toolbox, there will be something for everyone.
📅 Full details can be found on the poster below, with the booking link included if you'd like to reserve your place.
We can't wait to welcome Hazel and share this fantastic learning opportunity with you! 🐾💙

We have just finished our Puppy 121 sessions with this lovely family, and I couldn’t let the opportunity pass without saying how impressed I have been with every single member of the family.

From the very beginning, they have all been willing to listen, learn and really think about what their puppy needs. What has particularly impressed me is the way the children have been included in the learning too. They have listened carefully and taken on board how their own actions, movement, noise and play can affect how a puppy feels and responds.

This is such an important part of raising a happy, confident and safe dog. Puppies don’t always understand that children are simply having fun, and children don’t always realise how their actions can be perceived by a puppy. Helping everyone to understand each other, recognising when things are becoming too much and knowing when to give a puppy space is invaluable — for the safety and wellbeing of both the children and the puppy.

I have also loved seeing the family embrace our approach to training. We have worked on those all-important foundation behaviours using positive reinforcement, while helping their puppy learn to think, make good choices and understand that calm, appropriate behaviour is rewarding.

Every family is different, and I particularly enjoy finding ways of helping everyone feel involved, successful and confident, whatever their individual needs or learning styles may be. This family have embraced that beautifully.

It has genuinely been a pleasure working with you all, and I’m so excited to see how your lovely puppy continues to grow and develop.

You have all done brilliantly — and I look forward to seeing you again for more adventures together! ❤️🐾
