“My people took me to puppy pre-school. I loved it! I met other puppies and that was great because I hadn’t met any others (apart from my family). Miss Cath was lovely and she spoke puppy! She taught my people how to speak puppy, too. They learnt how to get me to do lots of things and how to behave well (mostly!). I will now come when called from right across the park, even if I am playing! My people love that. I had a fabulous time and didn’t want to leave. Oh, and there was a goody bag at the end with toys and treats! Thank you Miss Cath!”

“Cath did a fabulous job training Fergus. It is obvious that Cath knows what she is doing and the puppies listen to her. I really enjoyed puppy training with Fergus and we both learnt so much. Fergus also enjoyed the controlled introduction to socialising / play with the other puppies. Lots of handouts and videos so you keep it fresh in you mind as well. I would highly recommend Cath to anyone that wants a well behaved pup  ! She is an expert!”

“Cath Jennings came to our home to assist with training our 17week old puppy. From our first phone chat and throughout the home visit , Cath impressed me as kind, helpful, practical and experienced . She focuses on positively reinforcing good behaviour and her empathetic approach really resonated . I came out of the training feeling more understating of our puppy and even more love whereas I had been feeling a bit overwhelmed. Cath has great ideas , easy to follow , and backs up the talk with videos and manuals . I would very highly recommend. This is a photo of our puppy exhausted after brilliant physical and mental stimulation!”

“Cath is a fantastic teacher, thoughtful and patient too! Her training methods are always positively focused and have been highly effective. They are very easy to learn in class, and she provides home material to ensure you are consistently training in the right way at home. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a puppy school or training assistance!”

“First time dog owner and Cath’s methods are easy to understand and allows you to train your pup at home with confidence with extra booklets and videos to help along the way. After 5 weeks my puppy has great recall and bonding through training I would see her again for other classes she puts up in future.”

“There is no better dog trainer in the entire country! Cath is delightful, personable, intelligent, super easy to understand she's excellent at training us humans as well. We have a rambunctious Labrador puppy and Cath's advice made it easy for us to choose her as well as raise her right. Thank you Cath!”

“I highly recommend Cath from Positively Rewarding.
Puppy training classes and puppy school set up the guidelines and principles in our home which our family have used for the last few weeks to manage our pup, Bertie’s behaviour.
With strong foundations It has meant that as Bertie has grown, he has become more manageable, open to learning and happy to share the life that we and our adult daughters involve him in.
Cath’s knowledge of puppy behaviour is awesome and the principles behind her simple and realistic reward system are humane and ethical.
The conversations I had with Cath were illuminating because she really listened to the problems I was having with Bertie and came up with solutions.
Cath has a wonderful manner with both puppies and people and it was a delightful experience for both Bertie and I to be part of her puppy training classes.
I highly recommend Cath and her excellent puppy training program.”

“My puppy and I both enjoyed this puppy school so much! It was the highlight of our week. As well as being a great social outing for us I also learnt so much practical information and loads of amazing tips and tricks from Cath. Thank you Cath!”

“Cath of Positively Rewarding is nothing short of amazing. Warm, knowledgeable and patient, her skills and experience were invaluable to us before choosing a puppy, during the choosing process, and during the biggest challenge of all - living with and training a new puppy. Cath goes above and beyond in the resources she supplies as part of her services and her availability while everyone is figuring out what is best for the puppy and the family it’s now part of. Cannot recommend her highly enough - at any part of the journey, but the earlier the better!”

“Cath made coming home with an 8 week old bundle of sweet, chaotic enthusiasm simple… we asked for her help with a home visit, followed by 4 weeks of new puppy classes, and later, adolescent puppy classes. all were fun, informative, social, and beneficial. all of our interactions have been wonderful; Cath has explained and demystified a lot of the behaviours that puppies exhibit, and helped us shape a positive, rewarding and fun environment for our dog. she’s now 6 months old, is comfortable to be left at home alone, doesn’t jump on people when they enter the house, sits quietly at cafes, walks calmly on the leash, and is easily handled by our 10 year old son, who has a wonderful and involved relationship.
I cannot recommend Cath highly enough.”

“Cath was great with our pup and very knowledgeable (and lovely). Very much recommend her to anyone looking for training tips.”

“Cath made puppy school for Molly really fun and it was what we needed in the initial stressful weeks of first time owning a puppy. She normalized a lot of the behaviors and gave guidance and not judgement. Even after the 4 week lesson, she was contactable and generous with giving personalised advice when we ran into issues with sleeping and barking. Thanks Cath!”

“Could not recommend Cath more! She came to our home for a private puppy training with our almost 4 month old puppy. She answered every question without judgment. We’ve learnt so much and our pup absolutely loved her. 10/10 service”

“Cath was amazing. If you're not sure about how to handle your dog like we were, Cath will help you in no time. She was fab from the moment she walked through our door, and Jack loved her. She has a great training style and we are enjoying the benefits of utilising her services. Thank you Cath !!!”

“Cath was excellent for our 4 weeks of puppy school. Cath's knowledge of dog training coupled with past life as a vet nurse enriched our experience and provided the information we needed as new puppy owners. I highly recommend you give Cath and Positively Rewarding a try.”

“We cannot recommend Cath highly enough. We have gone through her puppy class as we as her in home one on one session and the whole experience has been amazing with Moodle Alfie. She is so knowledgeable, generous with her resources and time and really put our mind at ease as first time puppy owners by listening to our worries and answering our range of questions. We found all the conflicting information online overwhelming and Cath has made us feel confidence with her simple positive approach to training that we know will be effective if we put in the work. Cath’s down the earth nature, good humour and calmness rubbed off on all of us, not just Alfie who can be a little anxious. We won’t hesitate to connect with Cath again if needed in the future and can’t thank her enough.”

“Cath is absolutely fantastic!! We couldn’t be happier with her training session. She is so friendly, professional and easy to understand. If we ever have any need for training in the future, we wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again. Thanks so much Cath!!”

“Hugo was my first ever pup and Cath was excellent with her teachings. Although I watched many YouTube videos on how to train your puppy, it is never the same when you have the trainer right in front of you. Cath provided a well organised, methodical yet tailored session to cater for my specific needs. For example, my partner has a dog and Cath taught us what to do so that the dogs get along well. I have learnt so much and will try to apply her advice on a daily basis. Strongly recommend!”
