About PAWS'itive Pals Dog Training
We use paws'itive reinforcement to reach even the most poorly mannered dogs. We cultivate the trust of the dog to facilitate a teaching method for the “furrent” (furparent/owner) and the canine companion. There are numerous methods that are used in training our furry life-partners, however we believe that dogs primary focus is on the resource; thus we use paws'itive reinforcement of food, touch, and verbal praise. When you join the Pal Pack you can feel assured that you are gaining knowledge as to how to work with your furfamily with compassion and care, with respect and reverence, and most of all in the language that your dog is speaking until they learn your language.

With a lot of hard work on both ends, our dog has really mellowed out from the mystery life she had before we adopted her. The Pawsitive Pals crew has been very patient, encouraging, and informative in helping to guide our dog to be the best version of themselves. Two paws up 👍👍

We took our 1.5 year old GSD Zeke to Lauren’s group and she really educated us on how to be more positive and efficient with our dog. Zeke was hurt badly and abandoned for most his life before we got him and he needed a lot of assistance to get through his fear, anxiety and aggression. He still has a long ways to go, but we atleast feel like we have a direction with Lauren’s help! They also took him in for board and training for a few days and really dedicated time to help him over the course of 3 days! Day one he did not socialize at all and was growling at staff. By day 3, he was playing with other dogs and humans. He looked happy!!! We are so thankful for these miracle workers and we will continue to use their service!

Lauren is great with dogs. She's compassionate and kind with them and also knows how to establish and maintain she's the boss of the pack she creates, even with dogs off leash in the play area. The play area is secure, safe, clean, always has plenty of fresh water, and is full of toys. You can be sure your dog is safe, secure, and probably having a really fun time with the other dogs whenever you need doggy daycare
Seriously the best dog training EVER. Not only that but the day time socialization classes are so fantastic for our dog. I would recommend their services any one who needs help with training a new puppy, a rescue, or anything between!
