Hey! I’m Ali Smith, the Positive Puppy Expert.
I’m a multi-award winning professional dog trainer. I’ve helped to train over 1200 dogs, and I’m the proud owner of the worlds top pet blog!
I’m here to help you and other puppy owners to make the very best out of that little bundle of fluff (and teeth!) so that you can raise a fun, capable, confident and fun member of your family – in the easiest and most reliable way possible.
And to do that affordably.
Car sickness in dogs is really not nice, bless them. You sit there watching, knowing that they're going to get sick and they're not feeling well and there's nothing you can do about it. Well, technically, there is! Whether it's the trip to the vets, or just the fact...
How on earth do you minimise fur in and around your home when you own a German shepherd? You brought home this gorgeous, fluffy dog. The picture of regality, mixed appropriately with a total goofball. But then they shed, shed more, you're left daunted at how much...
I love easter. It's a family based holiday, and that means I'm involving my dogs. My woofs all get a little raw (varying amounts depending on who) but when easter or any other holiday (like Christmas!) comes around, you can bet that my dogs are getting extra special...

Are you like me? I spend so long drooling over some of the photography that the hardcore dog accounts take on Instagram. I've long since wished I could do the same, and whilst I knew I had a good camera, my photos were never ... that. And I dreamed! One of the...
I love Easter, it's such a fun holiday - but why would dogs be left out of that? Dogs love eggs too! I always make it my mission to include my dogs in our adventures, that way everyone gets to enjoy easter, whether it's my dogs, or the neighbour's kiddos! We all get a...
When your dog starts choking, things get terrifying really, really quickly. And knowing what to do, vs not knowing is always something I'd advise on. I've taken a couple of first aid classes, and I've done a good amount of reading to ensure that should I ever get into...
The Big Barker Bed is a serious investment, but one that comes with good a lot of positive feedback, but here’s your honest review, as always!
Dogs love to sniff - so an easter egg hunt? Is really cool for them. Easter egg hunts are probably the thing that most kids remember about easter. So, why not make those memories with your dog! I did! And it was hugely fun. We had a real blast setting up and watching...
