Yes! 🙌

I can. But I’m not going to.

I don’t want your dog to shrink away while I insist on ruffling their hair up.
They don’t need me to touch them to prove “I’m safe”.

What they actually need is for me to keep my hands in my pocket and wait for some signals of consent.

We have a tactile “obsession” when it comes to dogs.

Maybe it starts when they’re puppies and their squidginess draws our hands in.
100% their fur and wee fat rolls combined are irresistible.
From there though, it can become a habit.

We see a person up the street we haven’t seen for a while, stop for a chat and our hand goes down to pat while we say “Aww whose this wee girl”.
That’s how easy these habits grow.

They’re ingrained.

How about we start to normalise not touching?
And start normalising watching for consent.

At Pawsitively Canine, we don't train dogs to be robots.
We train them to be partners. We believe in building a relationship based on trust, clarity, and positive reinforcement. When your dog wants to work with you because it’s rewarding and engaging, you don't need force or fear. You just need a solid connection.

We’re launching a fun new class this July that is basically summer camp… but for your dog.

Here’s how it works: We pick your pup up while you’re at work, take them out for force-free training twice a week, where they get to learn, hike, and play with friends, and then we drop them back off. You get to come home to a happy, tired, and better-behaved dog.

Space is limited for this one. Check out all the details and grab a spot here(link in bio): https://www.pawsitivelycanine.ca/summer-class
