Effective dog training and behaviour solutions in Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham to help you solve your dog's behaviour struggles
Problem dog behaviour can be frustrating, stressful and even embarrassing at times.
We can show you what really does work.
Whether giving your puppy the best start in live, surviving adolescence or boosting skills for adult dogs, our classes are workshops cover everything you could need. Our regular rolling classes are planned and taught by a qualified teacher and experienced trainer.
When it's time to give your dog a job, our range of training options for dog sports and hobbies like mantrailling, gundog training and scentwork has you covered. You can also learn other fun activities such as dog parkour, Rally O and trick training together.
What We Can Do For You
We know it's hard when your dog doesn't behave well. When you see people on the street who have better behaved dogs. When you can't have visitors round. When you can't leave your dog alone for fear of the mess you'll find. It's soul destroying and can be embarrassing.
We can offer you the best and most up-to-date reward-based training solutions that are kind, effective and most of all - simple! You won't get one-size-fits-all training - you'll get training solutions tailored to your specific needs. We also come highly recommended by local vets, receiving regular referrals for behaviour and work with many of their own staff for training their personal dogs.
You and your dog are supported every step of the way. Our compassionate trainers take time to understand your needs and show you practical, positive ways to overcome challenges together. Even our classes are tailored to suit you both, with guidance from a qualified teacher and trainer who ensures learning feels personal, achievable, and enjoyable—so you’re never left to figure things out on your own.

Pawsitive Pooches and their trainers are wonderful. They truly understand dogs and help the owners train them without any force, just fun, encouragement and rewards. They are also very good with the owners! Their own personal dogs prove what they can do with kindness and encouragement -happy, well adjusted and very highly trained. I would highly recommend Pawsitive Pooches to anyone whether you need basic training for your dog or have a complicated problem.

Katie with Daisy
"These guys really helped to me to help my young rescue dog with her training when she was young. She has gotten over so many of her fears with the help of the training we were guided with. It also helped us learn to be better dog parents by allowing us to understand how best to train our dog without rushing her or trying to get her to do something she wasn't ready to do. Great service, thanks for all your help!"
Sam with Barney
"Lucy is a fantastic dog trainer Barney is nervous in/out of the house she set us a traning plan when through it all step by step we have done dog training classes and we keep in contact regularly"
Beth with Fender
"Can’t recommend Pawsitive Pooches highly enough. My 1 year Sprocker has done puppy, beginner and life skills with Lindsey. Not only have we learnt training skills together but we’ve enjoyed taking part in an activity together and I wish there were more classes to attend. The training methods make sense and they are fun too!"
