Can I bring my partner, children etc?
At Positive Paws Dog Training we encourage all family members to attended sessions.  Children are welcome and when encouraged to participate and can often make competent handlers.  Children under 16 years of age must always be accompanied by an adult.  Children are encouraged to behave appropriately in the presence of unfamiliar dogs and are requested not to run about or distract other dogs from working, during sessions.  For safety reasons we ask that Children do not approach unfamiliar dogs until they are educated about how to do this in a safe and appropriate manner.  This is something the sessions will cover. 

Young children may not find training sessions exciting.  It can be challenging to supervise young children while training a dog.  Very young children can become bored and may need another adult to supervise them.  If you provide your children with entertainment during sessions, please ensure the entertainment is quiet and will not distract the other attendees.

What happens if I miss a session?
Positive Paws Dog Training develop a complete course of learning, and by booking and paying for a class, you commit to the full course for the number of weeks specified.  The dates and times of the sessions are published in advance.  If you miss a class or cannot make it, there is no option to catch up on that session, but written notes and any demonstration videos will be sent to you.  We do ask that you let us know by either email, text or WhatsApp if you are unable to make it to a session.  It is not normally possible to transfer between groups.

Can I bring my dog if she is in season?
Unfortunately, we cannot allow dogs who are in season into our training facility.  We recommend a minimum of 3 weeks away from training.  Please contact us to make alternative arrangements.

Does my dog need to be neutered?
No

What happens in the event of bad weather?
At Positive Paws the Health and Safety of our Guardians and Dogs is our priority therefore should the weather mean it is unsafe to either travel or train, we will postpone the session to another date, in extreme circumstances sessions may be held remotely.

What happens after I sign up for a session?
You will receive a booking confirmation.  We will then email you one week before the start date of your first session with a note of what to bring, full directions and we will gather some additional information.
