Pawsitive Training
for People and their Pets
Our training philosophy is to set up our dogs for success and make learning a pawsitive, fun and rewarding experience!
Our classes include Puppy Kindergarten, Family Dog Obedience, Agility, Clicker and Trick Training.
We believe each dog and handler team is individual and unique and schedule our classes accordingly. Our small group classes offer lots of personal attention.
If you can't attend regular weekly group classes, you may also register for semi-private, private lessons or in-home training. Classes are available during the day, in the evening and on weekends.
Additional Training Services:
Behavior Modification
Are you having a problem with your dog? We can assist you with specific issues such as barking, lunging, separation anxiety, house-training issues, etc. We will help you understand your dog's behavior and outline a Behavior Modification Plan for treatment and training.
Puppy Power Hour
Do you have a new puppy in your home? We will come to your home for a personalized in-home Puppy Power Hour training session. Topics include house-training, puppy manners, bite-proofing, socialization and puppy management techniques that the whole family can easily follow.
In Home Training
An excellent choice for specific training issues that need to be addressed in your own home, or, if your schedule doesn't allow you to attend our regular classes. Minimum booking fee of one hour, plus a travel fee based on your location will apply. Details will be discussed upon scheduling your training session.
Telephone Consultations
If you wish to speak with a trainer about specific training issues, we are available for pre-paid telephone consultations. Please contact us for pricing and payment methods.
