Leamington trainer scoops Prestige Award

Leamington-based dog trainer and behaviourist Hannah Antrobus, owner of Pawsitively Pawsome Pups, scooped the Prestige Awards’ Central England title for the services she offers spaniel and spaniel mix owners.

The Prestige Awards recognise small and independent businesses that are successful and hard working on a local level.

Antrobus, who founded Pawsitively Pawsome in 2017, launched a spaniel-specific online training membership last summer, which now that has 150 members globally.

The Spaniel Inner Circle offers two monthly live sessions, drop-in question-and-answer sessions, and a community page where members can ask her questions.

She told The Leamington Observer: “I felt completely overwhelmed with enquiries and without cloning myself I didn’t know how else I could help others. That’s when I had a lightbulb moment and came up with the idea of the spaniel inner circle.

“I created the Inner-circle because it’s a way for me to give help to Spaniel owners fast and share my knowledge and experience.”

The judges praised Antrobus for her efforts to ensure she always has the most up to date training techniques, and her personal and transformational approach to dog training.
