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 better alternative! Welcome to our world of positive reinforcement - where you and your dog can build a cooperative relationship based on trust, not intimidation.
Pooch Pawsitive provides dog training and behavior counseling for dogs of all ages. Using scientifically proven, rewards-based training methods, Pooch Pawsitive works with you and your pooch to train the behaviors you want, and eliminate the behaviors you don’t.
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!
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.
THANK YOU for voting Pooch Pawsitive a "Best Dog Trainer" in the Animal Print Magazine's 2005, 2006 and 2007 Annual Readers Choice Awards!!!
