We Take Your Dog's Training Seriously

Training your dog should be an enjoyable experience for the both you and your dog, here at Paw-sitive Way we use science-based positive reinforcement training techniques which have been proven to be very effective at modifying behaviors. Positive reinforcement training is a reward-based technique in which you reward the behaviors you want from your dog, this type of training has a high success rate because behavior that is rewarded is more likely to reoccur.  So weather you have a puppy that you just brought home or a dog that has unwanted behavior Paw-sitive Way dog training can help. Dogs that go through training classes are more confident, better mannered, and more socialized.

Did you know....

•  Behavior problems are the number 1 cause of relinquishment of dogs to shelters?  Also, behavior issues are the number 1 cause of death of dogs under three years of age.
• Contrary to what many people believe, puppies need a great deal of time and attention in order to ensure they grow into dogs who are beloved members of the family.  There is a limited window of time in puppyhood during which a dog must get exposure to many different people, animals, places and objects.
• There is a Critical period of development for puppies....experiences a puppy has during the first 16 weeks of his life will have a huge and unchangeable impact on his personality as well as his outlook on life.  This is called the CRITICAL SOCIALIZATION PERIOD.​

How do dogs communicate with us?

Dogs speak to us through their body language, so it is very important to be educated in this area. Knowing how to read a dogs body language will not only help you understand what your dog may be feeling but it can also prevent a multitude of things.
