Struggling with your puppy?

Ever left a puppy training class feeling overwhelmed or frustrated?

Is your puppy biting and mouthing non-stop?
Still having toilet accidents or crying at night?
Pulling on the lead or refusing to walk?
Ignoring recall, especially around distractions?
Jumping up, barking, or getting over-excited?
Anxious when left alone or worried by new people or noises?

I’ve been there too, and I know how to turn that chaos into calm.

Personalised Puppy Training With Calm and Clarity

Welcoming a puppy into your life is exciting but it can feel overwhelming when things do not go to plan. Whether you are struggling with biting, toilet training, or socialisation, I am here to help.

At Jennie’s Positive Paws, I offer behaviour-based positive reinforcement puppy training in Essex that builds calm, confident foundations for both you and your pup from day one.

Your puppy will learn using proven reward-based techniques that:
1: Encourage trust and reduce anxiety
2: Create good habits that last
3: Support emotional wellbeing

Every puppy is unique just like you. That is why my training is tailored to your dog and your family’s lifestyle, not a one-size-fits-all program.

I will help you with:
1: Safe calm socialisation so new sights and sounds feel exciting not scary.
2: Gentle handling for biting, jumping, and mouthing.
3: Toilet training that really works.

No pressure. No judgement. Just understanding, patience, and a clear plan you can follow with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

 The earlier the better. I work with puppies from 8 weeks to 6 months and beyond.

Yes. I’ll help you understand what’s behind the behaviour and guide you with calm solutions.

We go beyond just meeting dogs. I help you introduce your puppy to sounds surfaces people and places in a safe and positive way.

Some owners see great progress in one or two sessions. Others prefer ongoing support. I’ll recommend what fits your situation best.

Positive reinforcement. That means rewarding the behaviour you want with treats praise or toys not fear or punishment.

I work in person across Essex and also offer remote puppy training for families outside the area.

Ready to Raise a Calm Happy Puppy

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’ve helped countless owners build stronger bonds with their puppies using empathy structure and calm communication.
