 A Pawsitive Difference Dog Training School 

A Pawsitive Difference offers dog training with a difference. It is my goal to give you all the tools you will need to train your dog. With lives getting busier I offer in-home training classes. I will work with you and your dog in the location where most of the behavior issues arise. 

  All dogs are trained using positive motivational training methods.  Your dog will want to work because he is having fun.  He will start offering behaviors because he wants to and not because he is forced to.

A dog that is trained via positive reinforcement and voluntary behavior is a dog that will be able to think for himself and because it is “his” idea he will give you the wanted behavior over and over.

Why Private classes?

My classes can accomodate your schedule and location.  One-on-one assessments will help me determine  your dog’s  needs while taking into consideration the environment.  I will help you train your dog in your house and community.  My expertise will teach you to stop your dog from jumping, lunging, pulling and barking just to name a few problem behaviors. Aggression modification training available as well. 

Having trained Service Dogs for the last 4 years, has taught me a great deal on how important good manners are since these dogs are venturing into all kinds of public venues.

 I am a volunteer trainer with the local Humane Society.  It is heartbreaking to see that  25-50% of dogs are given up because their owner is not able to manage the dog’s behavior. Often when given the proper tools, these situations could be prevented. 

 

Pay it forward and make a "Pawsitive Difference"

Over the years I had some incredible community support and would like to pay it forward on behalf of all my sudents. I fully believe and support the Humane Society and Rescue Group organizations.  I will donate 10% of every training session to the local Humane Society, different Rescue groups or Service Dog Training Organizations.  The more you train your dog to be a good canine citizen, the less chance of him ending up in a shelter environment.  Every month A Pawsitive Difference makes a donation on behalf of all the students that attented training that month. 

Please go to "Pay it Forward & Thank yous tab" to see which groups have been chosen so far.
