Welcome to Pawsitive Dog Training College
We are truly excited to welcome you and your furkid to our training family. Thank you for trusting us with your dog’s training journey.
💉 Vaccination Requirements
- Puppies must have received at least two 5-in-1 vaccinations.
- Dogs older than 3 months must be vaccinated against Rabies.
-
Kennel Cough Protection Required:
We strongly recommend Nobivac KC, administered via nose drops. It can become effective within as little as 48 hours and has shown excellent protection.
🕷 Tick & Flea Prevention
As we are situated in a farm-style environment, all dogs must be protected against ticks and fleas using an oral treatment before arrival.
Examples include: Bravecto or NexGard.
🍖 Food & Feeding
Please send enough food for the entire duration of your dog’s stay.
- Food must be packed in a sealed plastic container.
- Please clearly label the container with feeding instructions.
- Wet food is recommended to help stimulate appetite.
- We have freezer space available for raw diets.
- Treats are welcome, although we provide training treats.
We provide:
- Fresh clean bowls daily
- Beds
- Fresh blankets
🚗 Arrival Safety
Before removing your dog from the vehicle, please ensure that they are securely on leash.
🦮 Required Training Collar
For safety and training purposes, we require dogs to arrive with the following training collar, available from most pet supply stores.
📲 Daily Updates
We send daily updates to your WhatsApp group, usually before 19:00 on training days.
Please note that no formal training takes place on Saturdays or Sundays.
🐾 Visits During Training
You are welcome to visit your furkid during their stay.
Visits must be arranged well in advance to avoid interrupting training schedules.
No visits on Sundays.
📚 Owner Homework & Training
One of the most important parts of your dog’s success is owner involvement.
Please complete the Owner’s Training Manual and questionnaire before collection day.
Complete Owner Training❤️ Every Dog Is Different
Every dog learns differently and progresses at their own pace.
Some dogs progress quickly, while others need more time and support. Both are completely normal.
We never compare dogs — even dogs of the same breed.
We believe strongly in honesty, transparency, patience, and celebrating every small success.
Emotional Safety First — Then Training
A dog that feels emotionally secure learns far more effectively than a dog that feels overwhelmed or fearful. Our philosophy has always been to place emotional wellbeing first throughout the training journey.
🩺 Important Health Notes
Temporary stress-related symptoms can sometimes occur during the adjustment period.
- Mild weight loss
- Hair shedding
- Soft stools or upset tummy
- Reduced appetite
Most dogs settle beautifully within the first few days and build strong bonds with our team.
Every dog receives individual attention, care, patience, and love throughout their stay.
🐕 Socialisation & Play
Socialisation sessions are carefully supervised with safety as the highest priority.
Minor scrapes or rough play can occasionally happen during healthy dog interaction.
If you prefer your dog not to participate in socialisation activities, please let us know beforehand.
🏃 Physical & Mental Exercise
Our programs are mentally and physically stimulating.
Some dogs may lose a small amount of weight during training, especially highly active or anxious dogs.
Rest assured that feeding schedules and food intake are monitored very carefully, and adjustments are made whenever necessary.
We truly look forward to meeting you and your furkid. 🐾
