Italiano's Pawsitive Pups training

When we adopted Finnegan at 3 months she was sweet but so anxious about every noise and wouldn't walk due to her fear of streets and sounds. We were referred to Stephinie and in the very first session we witnessed her ability to know exactly what Finn needed, and also exactly what we needed, which was reassurance and education and techniques/tips. We've had many many sessions since then (Finn is almost a year old) because with a puppy there are always new challenges and Stephinie has solutions for ALL of them. She is clearly a dog-whisperer and has also helped us with dog/cat integration. Her warmth, humor, competence, and ability to really understand what Finn (and her humans) need is extraordinary. Plus she comes to your home so can see the environment you are most often in (we have also met at a park and at Home Depot for special training). Don't hesitate if you love your dog and want to set yourselves and your dog up for success and happiness!

This is the second puppy we have had trained by Stephinie. Not only does she clearly have an intense love for dogs, but she has a natural ability to clue in to the dog’s personality and quirks. Our puppies have responded so well and FAST to all of the commands and behaviors that Stephinie taught us. We worked one on one with her and the confidence she instills is very contagious. I would recommend Stephinie any time for your training needs. She really knows what she’s doing and answers all of our questions in ways that make us feel like we know what we’re doing too. Her warm personality and intelligence is what’s needed when training and it shows through beautifully.

When you love your dogs as much as I do, you want the best for them and that is what we found in Stephanie. She has worked wonders with Maggie who has a lot of anxiety and fear of people. Stephanie trains with patience, kindness and a genuine fondness for the dog and that is what gets results. Maggie responds to Stephanie, follows her around and is always anxious to learn and follow new commands and I can’t help but smile when I see that she is becoming a much more confident dog thanks to all she has learned. If you have a dog with problems or just one you want to be well-behaved, you need to contact Italiano’s Pawsitive Pups….Stephanie does an amazing job!!!! We all think she’s the best!!!
