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.

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...
Pet gates are a modern staple when it comes to managing your dogs, and CIAYS have brought one to the market that may be my favourite to date. I love gates. As a trainer? A good dividing gate is something I use really quite often in my training plans, and as a...
Having always owned big dogs, I like to ensure that I have a collar that can hold them; and that's exactly what the Landshark Sport collar is. A hard wearing tactical style collar, the landshark collar really caught my eye. It was one of those things I found by chance...
