Because Your Dog Deserves a Life They Love — And So Do You
Gentle, science-based guidance to help you truly understand your dog, deepen your bond, and create a calm, fulfilled life together.
You want the best for your dog… but sometimes it feels overwhelming, doesn’t it?
You adore your dog. They’re your heart, your shadow, your family. But:
You worry if you’re doing enough to keep them happy and fulfilled
You wish you could understand what they’re trying to tell you
You’ve read the blogs, bought the toys, and tried the tips… but something still feels missing
You want a calmer, more confident dog, and a deeper bond, but don’t know where to start
I see you. I’ve been where you are. And I can help.
Hi, I’m Debbie. Dog Mom, Canine Enrichment Specialist, and founder of the Pawsitive Enrichment Community
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about helping dogs live happier, calmer, more fulfilled lives. My own journey with my American Staffy, Loki, opened my eyes to how much our dogs communicate with us. And how often we miss their signals.
Through my studies with the Nordic Dog Trainer and deep dive into canine enrichment, calming signals, and natural behaviours, I’ve developed a gentle, science-based approach that supports both dogs and their humans.
My goal? To help you truly understand your dog, reduce their stress, build their confidence, and create a relationship built on trust and connection.
If you’ve ever wished your dog could tell you what they’re thinking… you’re in the right place.
I know what it feels like to love your dog deeply and want nothing more than for them to live a happy, fulfilled, stress-free life.
But sometimes, despite all the love in the world, it can feel overwhelming:
Wondering if your dog is truly happy and fulfilled
Struggling to understand what they’re trying to tell you
Feeling guilty about not spending enough quality time with them
Trying toy after toy, tip after tip… and still wondering if you’re doing enough
You’re not alone. And you don’t have to figure it out on your own anymore.
How I Can Help You & Your Dog
Personalised 1:1 Support for You and Your Dog
Below are my key offerings. Each designed to give you simple, practical tools to help your dog thrive.
Calming Signals Training
Understand what your dog is really telling you.
Dogs are constantly communicating, but most of us miss the subtle signals. I’ll teach you how to read and respond to your dog’s calming signals so you can:
Recognise when your dog is anxious, overwhelmed, or relaxed
Build unshakable trust and connection
Prevent stress-related behaviours before they escalate
Tailored Canine Enrichment Plans
Because a fulfilled dog is a happy dog.
Every dog’s needs are unique. Together, we’ll create a customised enrichment plan that fits your dog’s personality, energy levels, and environment so they can:
Experience more joy and confidence every day
Channel their natural instincts in healthy, positive ways
Reduce boredom, frustration, and unwanted behaviours
Sensory Enrichment Environments
Turn your home or garden into a sensory haven.
Your dog’s senses are their window to the world — and we can use them to create a calming, confidence-building environment. I’ll help you:
Design simple sensory setups using things you already have at home
Reduce stress and promote natural relaxation
Boost curiosity, calmness, and confidence through environmental enrichment
Nosework & Sniffing Games
Engage your dog’s superpower: their nose.
Sniffing is your dog’s most natural stress reliever and confidence booster. I’ll show you simple, fun games that:
Tap into your dog’s natural instincts
Build calmness and focus
Strengthen your bond through play
