Pawsitively – Expert Dog Training in Zurich for Real-Life Success

You don’t just want to train your dog, you want to really understand them, because they’re family? Then you’re in the right place!
We’ll help you successfully navigate everyday life and challenges with confidence - through modern training, a good dose of empathy, and plenty of fun along the way.

We rely on modern and non-violent training methods that are supported by current research. You will learn how positive reinforcement works and why it is the most effective and stress-free means for sustainable learning success.

Hundetrainerin Melinda Braunke von Pawsitively mit ihrer Hündin Leyla

Hi, I'm Melinda

After many years in tech recruiting and account management in the corporate world, I found my ikigai with Pawsitively:
 I support people like you in turning their dogs into relaxed, well-integrated family members - with a lot of heart, expertise and a clear focus on a relaxed everyday life.

My mission is to enable you and your four-legged friend to have great experiences together that strengthen your bond and help you to master everyday challenges with confidence. Training should be successful and fun at the same time!

My motto: Every human-dog team can achieve its goals through positive and fair training!

In my free time, I enjoy exploring the Swiss mountains with my Kooikerhondje dog Leyla.

let's go!

Anyone who says that reliable behavior in this or that dog cannot be achieved without punishment is not saying anything about the dog, but is simply describing his own abilities.
