Pooch Pawsitive Dog Training Puppy Jumpstart, Group classes, private lessons, behavior counseling, dog walking
Pooch Pawsitive provides dog training and behavior counseling for dogs of all ages.  Whether you have a new puppy at home, want to fine tune your dog's training, or have behavior problems that you want to change, you've come to the right place!

Our focus is on helping your dog become a well-adjusted, confident social family member with good manners!  We work with you and your pooch to train the behaviors that you want, and eliminate the behavior that you don't.

Recommended by the Humane Society, SPCA, American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior and Association of Pet Dog Trainers, a positive reinforcement, reward-based training approach builds a cooperative relationship with your dog based on trust, not intimidation.

If you've never felt comfortable yanking on your dog's collar, using prong or shock collars, choke chains or other punishment-based methods, then you'll be glad to know that there's a safe, effective alternative!
EVENTS & NEWS

NOTE: WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR VACATION FROM TUESDAY, MAY 22 THROUGH FRIDAY JUNE 1.  CLASSES RESUME ON SATURDAY, JUNE 2. WE ARE UNABLE TO RESPOND TO VOICEMAIL OR EMAIL DURING THAT TIME.

New changes to the class schedule!
We've changed our classes to an Open Enrollment approach so that you can start Basic Manners and Puppy Kindergarten classes at any time!   Just take the Orientation first and then jump right into classes! No waiting for a new class to 'start.'

We've added 4-week Clinics to help you fine-tune your skills.  Sign up for the Loose Leash Walking or Rocket Recall Clinic today!

We are now offering classes at Rumford Pet Center in East Providence!  We continue to offer classes at MetroPet Dog Center in Warwick!
