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 dog 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 you want, and eliminate the behaviors you don’t.
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 there's a safe, effective alternative!
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.
All Clicker, All the Time!
We love clicker training! It is an effective tool to help train your dog quickly, reliably and effectively. All of our training classes and private lessons use positive reinforcement with clicker training methods.
