Our Story

Welcome to our story and the 'inspiration' behind Pawsitive Patitas. 

As long as I can remember there have been animals in my life, from my grandmother's dogs, cats and rabbits, to my own furry (and feathered) friends. Each of them have captured part of my heart, some have made me cry, some of them have made me laugh. All of them have bought be joy. Until Forest. 

I've had 'difficult' rescues before, but Forest has been something else. A resource guarding, reactive bundle of contradictions. Thankfully, after finally meeting the right behaviourist and a LOT of hard work, Forest is a (mostly) happy, relaxed dog, settling into life out of rescue (5 years is a long time) and in the sun here in sunny Spain. 

He is the reason for starting my own journey to train with the British College of Canine Studies to be come a holistic behaviourist. If I can help heal this scared, anxious, nervous, suffering boy, I can help other owners and their pooches find their way too.
