What do we offer?
Pawsitive Canine Services offers dog training for all ages and breeds. This can be in the form of private sessions in your home, virtual sessions via Zoom, or in group classes.
Private sessions last anywhere from 60-90 minutes, and new clients must book 1 consultation in addition to a training session. In the consultation we learn everything about your household and your dog. Every situation has different levels of available resources, needs, and wants. We will give you a simple training plan that is accessible, simple, and fits you best. You will have the support in between sessions to ensure future training success. In the second training session we will review and add on more skills for success. You will learn about what drives your dog’s behavior.
Group classes last for 1 hour each Saturday morning. All appointments are scheduled online for your convenience.

How are we different?

Pawsitive Canine Services uses a scientifically-proven approach. This approach is based on positive reinforcement and is in line with the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior. These science-based training methods promote a positive relationship between the dog and their guardian (that’s YOU!). In addition, our training methods provide results that last since we are training your dog’s brain!
First, we assess your dog, your household, and your unique situation. Next, we develop a training plan that is tailored to your specific needs and circumstances. Then, we provide you with the knowledge and tools to communicate with your dog. Finally, we provide our love and support to ensure you are successful in having your best life with your best friend!
