Pawsative Steps Dog Training Classes Cork | Dog Reactivity Specialist

We are currently closed and not taking any bookings or enrolements

Welcome to Pawsative Steps

After a lot of thought, I have made the difficult decision to close the business. We are no longer taking bookings or enrolments.

Family circumstances have made it impossible for me to continue giving the business the time and energy it deserves and I feel this is the right time to bring it to a close.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has trusted me with their dogs and supported Pawsative Steps. It has been a privilege to work with so many wonderful dogs and their families

Thank you for all your support and understanding and I wish you and your dogs all the very best

Mairead, Luna, Archie & Buddy xoxo
