FirstBarkThis was a perfect place to send our mini dachshund puppy Millie. Jessica and Shea did such a good job training her, she had so much fun with the other puppies there, and they communicated with care and detail throughout the entire process, going above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Think your dog is an A+ student? Are your friends and family jealous with how well you’ve trained your dog? Then you might want to take things to a new level by participating in Obedience competitions (known as “trials”). Developed in the 1930s, Obedience is one of the AKC’s oldest sporting events! · Listed price: [object Object]
AKC Rally® is all about teamwork. You and your dog navigate a course together, side-by-side, at your own brisk pace. You move him through a course with signs where he performs different exercises. The courses are designed by the Rally judge that include various turns and commands like sit and down. · Listed price: [object Object]

We just rescued our 2 year old labradoodle, Eddie and wanted him to have the best start to his new life with us. We reached out to Pawsitive Dog training through the website and Shea responded literally within minutes via phone call to answer any & all questions we had before dropping our boy off for 2 weeks. The day we dropped off Eddie, we had a great discussion with Jess about expectations, training plans, & resources that would benefit Eddie, as well as ourselves to be good dog parents. During training, Jess provided very thorough updates whenever we asked, this included videos of our boy and general health observations along with of course his obedience progress! When we picked Eddie up after his time with Shea & Jess, Jess demonstrated everything Eddie has learned for us, trained us on how to keep working with Eddie at home and has even been checking up on us through text messages to see how everyone is doing! Im am so pleased with how much Eddie has learned during his time there and i cannot thank you guys enough for helping Eddie build the foundation he needed to be the best boy we knew he could be! **Will ABSOLUTELY be recommending Pawsitive Dog Training to friends & families!
Very positive experience with Shea! He is patient and shows a lot of love of my pup. Great communication as well!
Shea and Jess are wonderful. Our golden doodle learned so much in only two weeks. She is confident and happy show off all she learned. Definitely recommend.

Shea worked with our 18 month old German Shepherd, identifying how to get her motivated, and took her from being loud, difficult to get to listen in al circumstances, and reactive in public settings, to a point where she can now go out with us wherever we go, with no issues. She can even be trusted to sit with us at the local breweries without needing constant leash management. When we picked her up (4 week board and train), Shea spent as much time as we needed to understand how to best preserve the training he had done, and has been incredibly responsive to follow up questions. 10/10 we will send every dog we have to him for training!
