Dog Training Pawsitively Pets practices modern, dog friendly training methods based on the latest findings in learning theory and behavioral science. All methods are force free and fun for pet and owner alike! We continue to study and train ourselves, and take seminars around the country from top trainers and behaviorists to keep up on the latest techniques. We specialize in training the companion dog; your pet and beloved family member. Our goal is to develop great communication between dog and owner for a happy and harmonious household. Dog Friendly Training strengthens the bond between you. Your dog will begin to view you as his main source of fun and all good things in life. Trust and respect yield higher results in training than fear, which will inhibit your dogs performance and can cause negative side effects brought on by fear and stress such as aggression and timidity. We believe your dog should be an eager participant in the training process. Our training methods are designed to never put your relationship with your pet in jeopardy, and to keep tails wagging! It's POSITIVE, it's not PERMISSIVE! Positive reinforcement training does not mean wrong behaviors are tolerated. Quite the contrary! Instead we guide and teach your dog what you want, thereby minimizing the need for correction. Simply put, we use our brain instead of pain. Our Positive Training methods work for any dog, from the young to the old, or aggressive/reactive to the most docile. We tailor our methods to work for you.
