Royal Kennel Club Listed Status

Being a Royal Kennel Club Listed trainer means Positive Paw4mance is recognised by The Kennel Club, the UK’s official governing body for dog training and welfare. This status reflects a commitment to high standards of knowledge, professionalism, and ethical, welfare-focused training methods.

The Kennel Club only lists instructors who demonstrate appropriate experience, proven competence, and a commitment to ongoing education. For you as a dog owner, this provides reassurance that training is delivered using modern, reward-based techniques that prioritise your dog’s wellbeing, confidence, and long-term success.

Who Can Join

Membership is for the handler and not the dog. All dogs must be fit, healthy, and comfortable working around other dogs and people. If a handler owns, and runs 2 dogs, then only 1 Membership is required in the name of the handler. If a dog is run by multiple handlers, then Membership is required for both parties. If a handler runs a dog which is owned by another person, then Membership is required for both parties. Membership is open to:

  • Beginner handlers new to agility
  • Dogs starting their agility journey
  • Existing agility teams looking to progress
  • Competition handlers
