Is daycare right for my dog?
Our aim is to provide an environment where dogs can have the best day ever, building friendships, enjoying enrichment activities and growing in confidence.
It is important that all dogs at Pawsitive Life doggy day care are assessed and introduced individually, so that they, and their furry friends, can enjoy the best day care experience. This is why we can’t accept all dogs. Our day care doesn’t suit everyone, some dogs can find a day care environment over stimulating. This includes dogs who have not been neutered and females in season.
If your dog is not ready for daycare yet, we will be able to help you improve their confidence and ability to remain calm with our Intro to Daycare package. We speak dog and are experts in socialisation and neutrality training.
If you have any questions, please get in touch and our team will be happy to chat about our enrolment process and day care environment with you.
Puppy Preschool
Becoming a dog parent can be a pretty full-on experience with so much to learn and understand about your new puppy, but we believe it should be fun.
At Pawsitive Life we are dedicated to helping you and your puppy start off on the right foot and grow in confidence together. We are here to guide you, focusing not only on your pup, but also on you as the dog parent.
During our 6 week puppy class, we give you the skills and confidence needed to interpret your dog’s needs and behaviour, and to build a better relationship with them.
Puppy Preschool is the next step dedicated to nurturing development and providing a safe and fun environment for puppies to prepare for the wider world.
Puppy Preschool combines socialisation and enrichment, using only positive modern training techniques to take them through to our graduation process.
We slowly introduce them to adult dogs who are experienced with puppies, who will ensure they feel confident and ready to meet their new friends. We will transition out of preschool, taking it at their pace.
We highly recommend Puppy Preschool as the first step to daycare however if you think your puppy is ready for daycare, we would carry out a free assessment with you, as we do with adult dogs.
If you are interested in our puppy classes and Puppy Preschool, please get in touch at info@pawsitivelife.co.uk
