Positive Pets also offers outstanding support for new pet owners. Fundamentally, it understands that owning your first dog is full of very steep learning curves – in response, it wishes to support new owners through these learning processes and ensure that they feel supported and are able to build a close connection with their new companion.

Furthermore, the expertise that Camilla has earned is not just from formal teaching, but from living around dogs her entire life. She understands in depth the trials and joys of fitting their lives into an existing home life, and provides supportive management, education, and advice every step of the way; the plans she devises for each client are also highly individual, as she realises that no two client’s situations are the same. Overall, Positive Pets works hard to be friendly, approachable, and loving in its work with both dogs and humans, and this has become a signature element of the brand as its clients get to know Camilla and her way of working, forged along the way by the fair share of challenges it has faced.
