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!

We’ve been bringing our 2‑year‑old Aussie to Positive Pets Dog Training since she was a puppy, and every experience has been fantastic. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely gentle in their approach. We recently finished the Foothills Etiquette class and had a great time building confidence while hiking the Boise foothills. Our dog loved it, and so did we. Positive Pets has been a consistently positive part of her growth through obedience, outdoor adventures agility training, and we’re excited for future classes.

I've had 2 dogs go thru their programs. I am very please with the results. Being able to have off leash control and trust is a must for our lives. Also being able to learn to mentally stimulate my dogs and challenge them to burn some of that energy has been amazing.

We had a great experience with Positive Pets. Our older dog has a lot of anxiety and reactivity, and they did an amazing job with him. They boarded him for training and even spent extra time with him to make sure he really got everything down. Afterward, the private lessons were super helpful—they walked me through everything and showed me how to keep up the training at home. They also offer a lot of specialized training and group classes, which is great if you want to keep building on what your dog learns. Everyone on the staff is so friendly, and you can tell they genuinely care. My dog is always happy to be there, which says a lot. Turns out you can teach an old dog new tricks!

The entire team at positive pets are beyond incredible. I have 2 Fox Terrier’s that had major aggression issues. We put both dogs through the Super Dog Program. The team there particularly Donny & Ayla were always there for help and support. We learned how to manage their energy, and make it fun and safe. When we host BBQ’s now the activity for the kids is to take Duncan & Bridger through the agility course. I feel so proud when a kid is able to give the dogs commands and they listen. Thank you thank you thank you Positive Pets and your team!!!
