Positive Impact Dog Training and Behaviour

Imdt trainer and Mantrailing Global Instructor We believe in the power of play and games to enhance the learning experience.

Our mission is to help dog owners to understand their four legged friends, teaching effective communication and advocacy while using science based methods. Positive Impact was found in 2015 as a dog walking company in memory of our reactive Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Biggy. Our struggles, and lack of help, prompted continued learning and discovering hidden childhood passion for dog training.

🚶‍♀️ Real walks. Real dogs. Real progress.

Forget standing in a field doing endless sits and stays…

Our Walk & Train Sessions take place where life actually happens.

🐾 Dogs walking past.
🐾 People.
🐾 Bikes.
🐾 Squirrels.
🐾 Real-life distractions.

And the best part?

You’ll be training alongside dogs that were once in exactly the same position as yours.

The dogs calmly walking by today?
Many of them once struggled with pulling, barking, reactivity, excitement, or a lack of focus. Their owners put in the work—and now they’re helping other teams on their journey.

It’s proof that change is possible.

Our qualified trainers are there every step of the way, giving you practical coaching, helping you read your dog, and showing you how to build confidence in everyday situations.

✨ No staged scenarios.
✨ No perfect dogs.
✨ Just supportive people, real-life learning, and a community that understands exactly where you’re starting.

Every calm glance.
Every loose lead.
Every good decision.

That’s how transformation happens.

Today some very sad news came to us — our thoughts are with his family. ❤️

I remember the first time I met you, when a trainer said, “You are untrainable,” and your mum thought you were just a little bit bonkers! 😂

I remember that very first walk and how you showed us straight away what a loving, fun and cheeky boy you were. Never an ounce of aggression, just a beautiful personality and so much love.

I remember how quickly your recall came on, and how, before long, you became such an important part of our pack.

I remember you wandering away from Mum and Dad in Adastra Park, only to find me. Somehow, you always knew where you wanted to be. ❤️

I remember all the spaniels you helped me assess, and all your names — my Georgio Armani, Gergiono, Mr George, or simply G. You answered to them all.

And now I will remember you in all the little moments — the walks, the laughter, the fun, and the love you brought with you.

You were one of the special ones, George.

Now go and run free with your friends, beautiful boy. No leads, no worries, just endless fields and fun.

Until we meet again, G. ❤️

December 2024 was the first time we met this beautiful giant. Freshly rescued from a bad situation, with clear signs of neglect and a lot to overcome.

You can find his full story on our Instagram, but yesterday we got the chance to be reunited with Kobe for a walk — and what a lovely moment that was. ❤️

No training. No behaviour work. No expectations.

Just a simple walk, while his mum enjoys a very well-deserved break.

And Kobe? He was nothing but sweet, gentle and easy-going. 🥹

All the hard work that has gone into him has paid off. He is exactly what we always knew he could be — a fantastic big bear. 🐻

We are so honoured by the trust, and by the memories we get to make with him.

From where he started to where he is now… what a success story.

“Reputation is earned in whispers, not shouts.”

Thank you to everyone who’s taken the time to leave a review. We appreciate every single one.

💛 Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time… they’re having a hard time.

If every walk feels like you’re on edge…
If visitors fill you with dread…
If you’ve stopped taking your dog places because you’re worried about what might happen…

We see you.

Behaviour isn’t about a “bad dog”. It’s communication—and together we’ll work out what your dog is trying to tell us.

🐾 Our Behaviour Support Packages include:
✔️ One-to-one sessions
✔️ Support from a qualified Behaviourist
✔️ A multidisciplinary approach, working with your dog’s emotional and physical wellbeing in mind
✔️ A personalised behaviour modification plan designed specifically for your dog
✔️ Ongoing support between sessions, because real life doesn’t only happen during appointments.

There are no quick fixes.
No magic wands.
Just kind, evidence-based support that helps you understand your dog, build trust, and create lasting change.

Every small win matters—and we’ll celebrate every single one with you. ❤️

It doesn’t matter how cute they are, or how many “oohs” and “ahhs” they get from strangers on walks. Those people don’t see the struggles you face behind closed doors.

They don’t see the hours you’ve spent researching the breed, reading every article, attending training classes, trying every piece of advice, and still finding yourself faced with behaviours that leave you feeling scared, overwhelmed, and questioning everything.

The dream of owning a dog can, at times, feel like a nightmare.

I understand more than you know.

I’ve been there. I’ve lived it. I’ve got the ticket.

What seems simple to others can feel impossible to you right now. It’s hard to see a way forward. It’s hard to look past the behaviours your dog is displaying. It’s hard not to take it personally or feel like you’re failing.

But your feelings are real, and so are your struggles.

Please don’t suffer in silence.

Asking for help isn’t admitting defeat—it’s one of the bravest things you can do for both you and your dog.

I’m here. I’m listening. And when you’re ready, I’ll be here waiting to help you find a way forward, together. ❤️

🚨 Confession time…

Does your dog…
🐾 Pretend they’ve never heard the word “come”?
🐾 Think every walk is a full-contact sport?
🐾 Have a nose permanently glued to the ground?
🐾 Bark first… ask questions later?
🐾 Make you wonder if you’re actually the one being trained?

Good news… you’re definitely not alone. ❤️

We have 1-2-1 training spaces available, and there’s no standing in a field feeling judged while everyone watches.

Just you.
Your dog.
A qualified trainer.
A plan that actually fits your dog.

🎾 Fun, game-based training
🚶 Assisted training walks with real-life coaching
🧠 Behaviour support, from recall to reactivity
👃 Nose work & Mantrailing to build confidence, connection and give busy noses the perfect job.

Every dog is different, so every plan is too.

This holiday, swap frustration for fun. Build the relationship you’ve always wanted and set your dog up for success—whether they’re 12 weeks or 12 years old.

📩 Message us to chat about which session would suit you best. We promise… no pressure, no judgement, just support that works.

It always makes me feel happy, grateful, and humbled when a friend and fellow trainer—someone with many more years of experience than me—trusts me enough to refer their clients my way.

I don’t spend my time posting my qualifications, talking about who I’ve trained with, or trying to prove my experience online. My clients know me. My dogs are my business card, and my work is my testimony.

I’m always open to collaboration because, at the end of the day, it’s about helping dogs and their owners—not our egos.

This lovely Essex-based Frenchie gang came to me through a referral from their trainer. We carried out an online behavioural consultation and created a plan that combined behaviour modification, management, and veterinary support to investigate suspected health issues.

The challenges included inter-household aggression, resource guarding, and over-arousal.

A consultation isn’t just about the assessment. It’s about the support that comes afterwards. Sometimes everything goes to plan, and sometimes life throws a curveball. When owners need help understanding an incident, their dog’s behaviour, or the next step, I’m only ever a phone call away.

The owners have been fully committed, and their local trainer has been fantastic to work alongside. Hearing how much progress they’ve made and how much happier everyone is makes it all worthwhile.

Behaviour change takes a team, and I’m always grateful to be part of one. ❤️
