My pup and I just completed the therapy dog prep class and I can't say enough good things. It demystified the process and broke things down in a way that gave me (and her!) clear and actionable feedback on what we need to do, as well as exposure to real life situations. Sarah is an amazing instructor. Her kindness, energy and passion make it clear that she loves what she does. We will definitely be back for continued training!

Highly recommend Get Pawsitive. Since OB, a Golden Retriever, was 6 months old, I have enjoyed having Patti and Sarah coach and guide OB and me through "puppyhood", to a therapy dog in training. Every class has been conducted with thoughtful and positive reinforcement as well as recap, feedback and handouts after each session.... so very helpful. I'll be back for more Check them out.

Sarah, with Get Pawsitive was really amazing with our new rescue dog. First she responded to a message with interest in training and called twice to make sure I received her message. She spent several minutes explaining her approach to training with rationale. I set up an in-person assessment session where she met our puppy. She was intentional with her approach and built trust during the hour in our home. She gave us a detailed review of her recommendations by email with other resources. I have since purchased a package of sessions with Libby who was so gentle and kind with her interactions. Our puppy is already making excellent progress and learning new skills. She continues to make confident choices and we have learned how to reward those choices. I look forward to continuing work with Get Pawsitive!
