Welcome to Pawsitive Squad CIC

Pawsitive Squad CIC is a not-for-profit organisation led by experienced and passionate disabled professionals. Proudly designed by disabled people, for disabled people, we offer tailored, welfare-focused canine services for children, young people, and families across the UK.

We know that no two people are the same. That’s why our support is fully bespoke—shaped around each individual’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances. We’re proud to provide a safe, inclusive space where young people and families can grow, heal, and thrive.

All our services are delivered using kind, welfare-friendly methods that prioritise the wellbeing of both dogs and humans. With clear, affordable pricing and minimal waiting times, we aim to keep our programmes accessible to those who need them most.


Train your own dog to become a trusted assistance partner. Open to disabled individuals aged 0–30  (or households with multiple disabled members) around the UK, this largely virtual programme includes: 

  • Structured online classes (task-based training, theory, and group mentoring)

  • Monthly 1:1 sessions and small-group Zoom check-ins

  • A virtual learning hub and optional in-person workshops

  • In person Assessments in Nottingham

  • A clear monthly membership model with transparent pricing and no hidden fees 

Perfect for building life-changing skills like fetching items, opening doors, alerting to medical events, providing emotional support, and more.

Our highly specialised and truly unique programme equips education and allied health professionals to train their pet dogs as effective therapy or community assistance dogs. Unlike most therapy dog schemes, we go far beyond passive interaction — your dog will learn to engage in a structured canine-assisted activity programme, proactively supporting the goals and development of your learners or clients.

This programme is designed with flexibility in mind — therapy dog training can be completed entirely virtually, the community assistance dog program has some in person elements. We offer clear, transparent pricing and no hidden costs.

Whether you're working in schools, clinics, or community spaces, this is a transformative approach that empowers you and your dog to make a lasting impact.

Bespoke virtual and (in exceptional cases) in-person education for young people aged 7–25 who face barriers in mainstream schooling. Led by trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming professionals with deep lived experience, this programme offers:

  • A flexible 1 term to 2 year personalised learning plan (longer if working towards qualifications)

  • Weekly sessions across 3x12-week terms, adapted to each learner’s needs

  • Skill development through canine-assisted activities, accredited short courses (e.g. ASDAN, RQF Animal Qualifications, Arts Awards), and life-skills mentoring.

Students can even integrate their own dog for canine assisted activities and assistance dog training, all tailored around the young persons health, sensory, communication, and learning needs.

Training our dog with Pawsitive Squad…

Training our dog with Pawsitive Squad had been a life changing experience for us. Heather's support and positive training techniques have brought us so much fun on our learning journey. It's really obvious both our children and our dog enjoy the lessons and workshops, and see his 'work' as a positive (Pawsitive) experience. Thankyou for bringing accessibility back.
