Our Dog Training Services
Obedience Training
Shape your dog’s foundation of good behaviour. Our personalised obedience training focuses on real-life manners and core commands like sit, stay, and recall. Ideal for both eager puppies and adult dogs looking to polish their skills, sessions are fun, upbeat, and designed to bring out the best in your canine.
Behavioural Modification
Tackle challenging issues like excessive barking, reactivity to other dogs, anxiety, or destructive behaviour with support from experienced professionals. We use reward-based strategies and empathy to help your dog conquer fears, build resilience, and develop calmer, more balanced habits.
Puppy Socialisation Classes
Early experiences shape a puppy’s outlook for life. Our small-group classes offer safe, structured play alongside confidence-building exercises, ensuring your puppy grows into a friendly, sociable, and adaptable adult. Classes cover house training, gentle handling, and polite greetings for every new start.
Agility & Confidence Building
Let your dog unleash their inner athlete! Through colourful equipment and positive games, we help dogs build balance, confidence, and a sense of achievement. These sessions strengthen trust between you and your dog and are perfect for high-energy pups and adults alike.
Private One-to-One Coaching
Enjoy undivided attention from an accredited trainer in the comfort of your home or favourite Bristol park. We develop a tailored training plan for your unique goals and challenges, supporting everything from puppy basics to advanced behaviour work for dogs of any age or background.

Testimonials from Happy Owners
Our dog Luna went from anxious around strangers to a confident, happy companion thanks to Pawsitive Progress. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive!
After struggling with our puppy's behaviour, we found the puppy classes so helpful. Now Bella is well-socialised and a joy to be around.
The one-to-one sessions addressed Max’s reactivity in just a few weeks. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to build a better relationship with their dog.
Leash walks used to be stressful, but after working with Claire and team, Alfie happily trots beside me. The progress was gentle and fast, and I felt supported every step of the way!
The agility classes ignited Willow's confidence! Now she loves meeting new people and tackling every obstacle, both in and out of the field.
Oscar's transformation was incredible! He went from jumping on everyone to calmly greeting visitors. The trainers' patience and skill truly show.
Milo not only learned great recall, but also became much calmer around other dogs. I appreciated the encouragement and clear advice throughout the process.
