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.

Lauren and her staff are wonderful with the dogs, and her staff are very well trained in her principles and methods of how to train & treat dogs. They use positive reinforcement techniques when training the dogs AND their owners. They also encourage the use of Gentle Leaders instead of typical collars or harnesses, as the leader does not allow for pulling. After my dog became used to the leader, she became a delight dog to walk rather than a constant battle to keep her from pulling. I highly recommend Lauren, her staff, and her business.

5/5

Lauren was so amazing with my dog that she went from a dog I was ready to re-home to the best dog I’ve ever had! She is amazing with all dogs. And the PalPack dog day camp is the best when your dog needs to run and play with the pack!

5/5

Absolutely greatful to have my best friend cared for by people who not only understand dogs but are more than willing to help me understand and effectively train. My mix breed cattle dog is well behaved thanks to the learning, training and socialization Pawsitive pals provides.

5/5

If I could give 10 stars I would. My fur babies are full time at pawsitive pals, this is their home away from home. They are always excited to pay with friends and I know Lauren and her staff truly love and care for them. They even get groomed weekly! What a truly special heart beat in our community. We love it here 🐾

I adopted a rescue German Shepherd. Lauren and staff has helped him so much in the past six months. He’s a different dog than the one I took home. He loves going to daycare. The facility is fabulous and it’s obvious they love dogs. Best place for training, daycare or boarding. I have used several daycares in the past years with my other dogs and this is by far the best.
