Developing an enjoyable lifelong
partnership with your dog starts here

We are a small, personalized, full-time, full-service dog training facility that is dedicated to dedicated dog owners . We are not a kennel, a groomer, a dog walker, a pet sitter or a traditional doggie daycare provider. Quite simply, we stick to what we do best: providing customized training for you, your dog and your lifestyle... complete education that will benefit both you and your dog today, tomorrow and for years to come.

With 17 years at the pawsitive dog and more than double that in the training industry, we have the experience, passion and commitment to help you and your dog develop the partnership you've always wanted. More than basic dog training, together with our clients, we are paving the way toward a better life for all dogs.

We achieve this mission through quality training that is:

+ pro-active
+ motivational
+ balanced
+ challenging
+ in-depth
+ fun
+ rewarding and
+ lasting

... for both humans and their dogs — regardless of dogs' gender, breed, age or temperament. Every dog is welcome at the pawsitive dog.

What you can expect from us ...

+ expertise
+ insight
+ dedication
+ integrity
+ enthusiasm
+ professionalism and
+ appreciation for your commitment to your canine

… plus the opportunity to learn as much and as fast as your commitment and open mind allow.

We've had the privilege of working with over 10,000 dog-owner teams and are passionate about making a difference for you and your dog.

Thanks for taking the first step toward a complete + dog education. We hope you enjoy your online visit with the pawsitive dog. We would love to meet you and your dog in person and introduce you to our wide variety of training options. While we're not accepting new students at this time, we encourage you to peruse our website and check back with us early Fall 2014.

Happy Training!

Jen & Breslin and the + dog team

In an effort to maintain the small, personalized facility we've become known for, we apologize that we're not accepting new students at this time*. We know waiting is NOT fun, so whenever our consultations are booked more than 4 months out, we find it's more responsible to refer potential clients than overbook. We always appreciate your referrals and are happy to steer them toward other qualified dog trainers. Of course, we look forward to taking new clients this fall/winter and continuing to provide our active clients the personalized service they deserve! *Accelerated Overnight Training enrollment still available.
