💚🐾 A New Chapter at DOG Dynamics 🐾💚

The last time I taught people in Dynamics was in 2020 😳

The past 5.5 years have been a bit all over the place for me, for various reasons but I feel the urge to make a comeback and teach again!

But this time, with a slightly different focus.

In the past, I worked with both dogs and their owners.
But what I’ve come to realise is that the people side of dog training is often the most overlooked — and yet, it’s the most powerful part of the relationship.🩷

Our dogs are incredibly in tune with us. They pick up on our energy, our tone, our body language, our emotions — everything. They know when we’re stressed, frustrated, nervous, or unsure. They also know when we’re calm, confident, and connected.

And yet, when things feel difficult — maybe a dog’s behaviour is stressing us out, or walks have become tense, or confidence has dropped — our attention often goes straight to the dog. We look for what the dog’s doing “wrong,” rather than noticing what’s happening in us.

That’s where I want to help. 🌿

I’m returning to teaching again to support owner emotional & mental wellbeing — to help you understand and release the emotional patterns that might be showing up in your relationship with your dog.

Maybe you’re feeling stressed, overwhelmed, low in confidence, or just stuck. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on beneath the surface and create more space for calm, confidence, and clarity.🩵

Alongside that, I’ll be teaching practical emotional-awareness tools to help you regulate in the moment — tools to calm your nervous system, build confidence, and respond from a grounded place, rather than from stress or self-doubt.

Because when you feel calm, confident, and connected — your dog feels it too.
When you shift, they shift 🩷

So this isn’t about dog training in the traditional sense — it’s about emotional connection, self-awareness, and building a stronger, more harmonious bond between you and your dog.

Listening, & supporting you using various holistic therapy techniques and showing you how to use them on yourself.

If this is something you'd like support with.
Please get in touch 💛

Morning Everyone,
Pinch punch first day of October month!
No returns. ;)

Thought I'd share with you a lil about me, if you are new to my world 🌏

I love emotions and mastering them,
As well as vast experience and qualifications in dog training 🐾

I have practitioner level qualifications in Emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro Linguistic Programming.🩵

I am also a qualified Mindfulness, Meditation & Relaxation Teacher.⭐️

I love listening to motivational speakers, and practice growing my own personal development and do daily self healing ❤️

I have a dog called Smarties and we are always doing fun agility training together 🐾

I love colours & rainbows and anything that's bright. Colours make me feel excited! 🌈🌈

I have x2 businesses.
DOG Dynamics & Set Yourself Free.

My previous careers have included being a Horse Riding Instructor and a Dog Trainer & Owner Teacher 🐕 🐎

I love all animals 😍

My pets over the years have been fish, hamsters, horses and x3 Border Collies. One day I'd like to have a pussycat 🐈‍⬛

I absolutely love teaching and healing people. I absolutely love encouraging, praising, boosting their confidence, sharing skills, believing in them and watching them transform. 🙌

I get vertigo alot. So have to be careful with that. My balance is generally shot tf.

I like being really loud at times, and almost theatrical 😂 I like being really silly and have no trouble letting my inner child out to play 🤸

I love nature 🌱 I find being around everything natural amazing and wonderful and beautiful and feel so lucky to be a part of it. 🍀

I love patterns and details and cycles and movement & fascinated by the whys and wonders of life ✨️⭐️

I am emotionally sensitive, an introverted extrovert and love the energy of people but equally love the peacefulness of huge spaces just being by myself with my dog. 🩷

I'm an Aquarius ♒️

Hi 👋🏻 I'm Leah and as many of you already know I have been running Positive Training For Canines for 16 years.

What started as one puppy class on a Tuesday evening at Colden Common Community Centre I now run puppy and junior classes at Colden Common Community Centre on Monday evenings and puppy classes at Companion Care Vets, Wi******er on Thursday evenings.

Before I started PT4C I worked for the RSPCA and Southampton City Council dealing with the neglected dogs and strays. Both jobs were an eye opener and more so with the people! Both jobs taught me a great deal about dogs and led me to setting up a business to help others and prevent dogs from entering the rehoming system.

My Puppy and Junior classes cover the basics of training and socialisation. I use force free, ethical, positive reward based methods to achieve results.

On Saturdays I run loose lead, recall and jumping up workshops exclusively for those who have completed my training courses and wish to focus on a particular issue they are having.

My in person one to ones are also held on Saturdays and separation anxiety zoom sessions are held during the week.

I was voted 2024 Top 3 Best Trainers in Wi******er 🥰

I love my job and I love being self employed. It's a huge help working around my daughter and ensuring we have quality time together.
I'm so fortunate to work with lovely people and their gorgeous dogs. I've made fabulous friendships and connections over the years. Each class, dog and person I am privileged to work with teaches me something different and keeps me on my toes. A massive thank you to all those who have chosen me to help them on their journey and I look forward to working with future clients who would like help and guidance with their puppies
