I did not have any sessions just yet.. however, I wanted to give a wonderful review because I did book a consultation and paid however my family member became ill and I had to cancel my session to help out with them. Evelia was kind, understanding to my situation and offered a full refund even though there is a no refund policy. I will certainly be recommending and hopefully booking in the future - thank you for your kindness Evelia! You run an honest business and that is rare these days!

Great place to learn how to train your dog! They use positive reinforcement methods and explain how and why each training technique works. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to train their dog. Please note, my dog does not have behavioral problems so my experience was training a dog that needed to learn basic manners and commands.

We have been taking classes with Evelia since September. She makes everything so easy and effective in such a positive way! Our puppy has and is responding very well with the trainings and so are we! I plan on training our pup to be a therapy dog to take to work with me. I work in adolescent psych and pet therapy works wonders in reducing anxiety and stress. I’m so grateful for Pawsitive Approach and highly recommend them!

Working with Evelia turned out to be a great experience. I had been putting off finding a trainer to help me with issues walking my two maltipoos. Her reviews were excellent and I'd like to add mine to the rest. We started in the classroom working one on one and then finished with two sessions at my neighborhood park for "real life training". I continue working with the dogs and see a lot of progress which makes me feel more comfortable being outside with them.
