At Jennie’s Positive Paws, I specialise in personalised dog training and behaviour support based in South Woodham Ferrers, covering Chelmsford, Maldon, and the Dengie area. From puppy training and assisted lead walks to tailored behaviour consultations, every session is designed around your dog’s unique personality. Using a positive reinforcement, behaviour-first approach, I help dogs feel more secure, understood and engaged while empowering owners to build confidence and a stronger bond with their pets.

 

Our Mission


To empower dog owners with compassionate, emotionally intelligent training. Whether you feel overwhelmed, have struggled with past training, or want to lay strong foundations from the start, I’m here to help you better understand your dog and build a well balanced, trusting and long lasting bond.

A Note From Jennie

"As a lifelong dog lover, I'm very passionate about  my work and find real joy in working and communicating with each dog and their owners. Nothing beats that magic moment when something 'clicks'. By understanding unique behaviours and needs, I make sure every dog and their owner goes home happy, relaxed and with a better understanding of one another."

Assisted Lead Walks

If walks feel stressful, I offer guided sessions to help you and your dog feel more confident outdoors. You’ll learn how to handle tricky situations with calm, positive methods while your dog gains focus, safety, and trust on the lead.
