We did their Puppy school with Tass and it was amazing! It changed the way I approached dog training. I highly recommend it! Normally when I call them I speak with Angie, she is great too! She knows literally everything about Positive Pets!

This happened a couple years ago, but I’m still upset about it. Paid the deposit $150 to have our dog trained for the puppy class. Couldn’t make it work with our schedule. They refused to refund the money. Scheduling should’ve been discussed beforehand.

If you want to have a better relationship with your dog or if you are struggling with behavioral issues, Positive Pets is the first place you should look. Stanley is our second Australian Shepherd that we have enrolled in the Positive Pets program. They have a ton of different options that will help your pup (and most of all you) learn how to work together and build trust and understanding. Karly is awesome and very knowledgeable and professional. She worked with me and Stanley and we have seen a huge improvement in a short period of time. We are now moving on to group classes and we are super excited for the next steps. Having gone through this program with two dogs now, I can say that all of their staff are amazing and their training is absolutely top notch and worth it.

Our Havanese, Butters has had amazing experiences with Positive Pets. He attended puppy preschool and has just graduated from the day training program. Devin has been his main instructor, but every trainer we have encountered has been lovely and knowledgeable. Our whole family has learned so much through this experience. We learned foundational obedience and have made noticeable improvements throughout the program. We highly recommend Positive Pets.
We were very pleased with our experience with Positive Pets Dog Training. Taz worked with our dog "Nellie" and she did a remarkable job training her. My husband and I learned so much from Taz and have a greater understanding of the different aspects of training enabling us to better continue the training at home. Taz had firm command while gentle and loving. Nellie gives her 5 stars!
