Those first weeks with a puppy aren’t about commands or control, they’re about helping your puppy feel safe in a brand-new world.
In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey explains why emotional safety, predictability, and calm routines matter more than obedience in early puppyhood. Drawing on years of experience supporting dogs with anxiety and behaviour struggles, Jamie explores what early experiences quietly shape later behaviour, and why rushing training can backfire.
This episode is ideal for new puppy guardians, anyone planning to bring a puppy home, or those supporting adolescent dogs who struggle to settle or cope with change.
Kind, force-free, and grounded in real-world experience.

Is your dog really being stubborn, or is something deeper going on? In this episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey breaks down one of the most common misconceptions in dog training, the idea of the stubborn dog.
If your dog seems to ignore cues on walks, switch off around distractions or respond beautifully at home but struggle outside, you are not alone. This episode explains what is really happening from an emotional and behavioural point of view. Jamie explores why dogs often look as if they are not listening and how stress, overwhelm, the environment and reinforcement history all play a major role in canine learning.
With clear, kind and force free guidance, this episode helps dog guardians understand why stubbornness does not exist in dogs. Instead, Jamie shows how to support your dog through positive reinforcement, confidence building and training that respects your dog’s emotional needs.
This episode is ideal for new dog guardians, rescue adopters, guardians of reactive dogs and anyone wanting to strengthen their bond with their dog through ethical, science backed training.
