As a first-time dog owner of a working breed rescue pup, I had felt like I had hit a wall with training on my own after about a year. Lateria was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad I made the decision to start training with her. Even from our initial consultation call, I could tell she was really listening and thinking through everything I was telling her about my dog's behaviors, and how we could best work together to address them. In our first in-home training session, Lateria was able to provide some really helpful pointers to correct what I was currently doing to manage my dog, and other commands that I could start working with her on that would help her food aggression and separation anxiety. Lateria has a wonderful training philosophy and is very realistic about training goals, which I also really appreciate. Even after just one in-home training session, I have noticed improvements following her training pointers. Another training service Pawsitive Beginnings provides that drew me to them is their Pupcation service, where Lateria is able to reinforce training and provide your dog a safe and loving place to stay while you are out of town--a service we fully intend on using in the future. From working with her these past couple of months, I know she is someone I can trust with my pup while I am away. I would highly recommend Lateria to anyone who is looking to strengthen their relationship and bond with their dog!

Pawsitive Beginnings is the absolute best - for our family, this has been the perfect solution to our training, doggy day camp and "pupcation" needs - the approach they take, by engaging first with training, involving the 'whole family', and meeting us where we are to work together on training goals is amazing - and then those goals pull through day camp and pupcations. Our Pippi LOVES going there and comes back with better manners, every time. We are definitely thrilled we found PG!

Our two big dogs stayed with Lateria for a week while we were out of town. She sent us frequent pictures and videos and we could tell they were having a blast the whole time. When we picked them up they were tired and had better manners.

We have used Pawsitive Beginnings twice now and it has been a great experience both times. Lateria is extremely gentle but firm with our stubborn pit-mix and with the updates she provided we knew he was in caring hands. She additionally provided good tips to keep the training she provided during his stay fresh in his mind and he has been a gentleman at home since then.

Pawsitive beginnings has been my go to for all dog walking/training/boarding needs. Lateria is super responsive, dependable, truly loves what she does and my dog loves her. I originally signed up for walks for my pit bull mix and quickly signed up for leash and in house training and it was worth every penny. My only regret is not finding pawsitive beginnings sooner. Thank you for all you do! :)
