Mary Edwards

The behaviour therapy received has been really appropriate for my dog’s needs. He is now less anxious when going out for walks. The behavioural therapist really listened to my dog’s needs and came up with an easy to follow tailored action plan that would help him.

Zoe has been incredible and so helpful for my cats, and has genuinely created a calmer and happier home for them and myself. One of my cats used to urinate on my bed daily, sometimes multiple times a day. Within our first session together back in September she gave some advice on things to change/adjust/accommodate,

I want to give a special thanks to Megan for the advice in which she gave for our dog Tilly. We’ve had problems when it came to walking her as she was being a little aggressive towards other dogs. Megan advised us to view the behaviour differently and to try and give her a treat

Emma Yates

Megan helped us enormously with our dachshund. She supplied many solutions to help her overcome her anxiety around walks.

I was quite anxious about getting a new puppy but with Megan’s advice and guidance the new addition has settled in brilliantly. Meg provided constructive, easy to follow advice and supplied me with a wealth of material to continue the process of training my dog. If you’re looking for someone with a compassionate, non-judgmental approach,

Philip Malpass

Supportive, efficient, effective, non judgemental and very professional. Highly recommended Dog behaviorist for all breeds and situations. If I could add more stars, I would. Meg is extremely well versed in dog behavior and works in an ethical way that you won’t find from other local trainers. You will learn so many new things from

Tamsin Fisher

Highly recommend! Our dog was struggling with separation anxiety. We really appreciated the time Meg took to sit down with us and talk through the positive changes we needed to make to support our pup! She was very kind and professional and the dog loved her too! Thanks Meg!

Jo Morris

I would totally recommend Meg at Pro-Positive as she’s professionally trained and very good at understanding pets and their owners and why certain behaviours can develop. She was fab at helping us with our rescue who had antisocial behaviour issues and she helped and supported us to change the way we were doing things which
