Description
🎙️ Welcome to the Paws and Pawsitivity Podcast
I am Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, Certified SA Pro Behaviour Consultant and Certified Dog Trainer. I have worked with dogs for more than eighteen years and created Pawfect Training Academy to bring that experience together under one mission. To help anxious dogs feel safe at home and to help exhausted guardians get their lives back.
This podcast gives you clear, honest and force-free guidance that you can actually use. Drawing on real cases, separation anxiety expertise and a lifelong commitment to ethical training, each episode gives you grounded support without stress, shame or punishment.
From separation anxiety and hyper attachment to reactivity, recall and calm greetings, this podcast helps you understand your dog and make progress with confidence.
