A Pawsitive Experience (Susan Ferry dba)

RATINGS & REVIEWS (1) Janet G 08/29/2017 This place is perfect! Wonderful outdoor space with lots to keep your dog interested and Susan is amazing with the dogs. She observes them before putting them in with others to make sure they are a good fit and goes by personality and behavior of dog rather than size. She has spent years doing this and gets into the head of each dog to match them with the environment and dog-buddies that suits the best. She is more of an animal behavioralist and has a keen eye trained to what upsets or sets off each dog. It is amazing to see. So many happy and stress-free dogs, no bullying, no intimidation, just lots of happy kids playing together. If you just want your dog out of your space while you are gone for the day feel free to leave them at any daycare, but if you want your furry friend loved and cared for in a place they are happy to go to, don't hesitate--bring them to Susan Ferry at Positive Experience. I love my babies and won't take them anyplace else. You and your dogs will love it--it is indeed a happy and pawsitive experience!

Susan is my favorite person to bring my pup! I brought my alaskan malamute Lupo to her for her P.A.W.S program when he was about 4 months old. She has helped tremendously with training and is always there to provide more help and advice when I need it. Lupo loves going to daycare on a weekly basis. When he is at daycare I know that good behavior is being continuously rewarded which is very important to me as well! I know that no one would treat Lupo with as much love and care as Susan does! I would recommend Pawsitive Experience to any one!

Eight years ago, Susan was highly recommended to us when we needed boarding services for our then 8 month old Aussie. Her knowledge and love for the dogs has been invaluable for Bailey and for us as a family ! Susan has always been there for us whenever I've needed it. Her boarding facility is amazing and the dogs truly benefit from the interaction with other dogs. When asked where I take my energetic dog, I tell them to check the website for " A Pawsitive Experience" and Susan Ferry.

In February my girlfriend and I purchased two 8 week old Border Colley mix litter mate puppies. We thought if we spent a lot of time with them and tried to train them ourselves we could groom them to be good obedient dogs, but the more we tried the more it seemed like we were going back words. Finally we decided to get some professional help, at first we were looking for a dog training class we could take them to and try to work with them that way. While searching online we ran across the Pawsitive Experience website and read some of the reviews and decided to try some private lessons at our own house instead of driving the dogs around and trying to train them in an atmosphere with a bunch of other people and dogs. We contacted Susan and set up an appointment to meet at our house and get started. After the 2nd meeting she offered to take the male puppy back to her place and work with him at her house around other people and dogs and try to rid him of some of his aggressive behavior. After the 1st week we could already see an improvement and we decided to have both dogs go for P.A.W.s program. After just 4 weeks the dogs are much calmer and obedient around other people and dogs and seem eager to learn and please us. Its hard to believe that two 5 month old puppies could mature that much in 4 weeks but they have. Susan is a true professional and very helpful by suggesting different products and techniques that may help along with the training by sending links for us to review. She truly cares about the dogs and her clients. It's been a Pawsitive Experience.

My dog Bella has been going to Pawsitive Experience for over 2 years. Bella had previously gone to another daycare and had some bad experiences resulting in her being scared and she no longer wanted to go. Susan was great in working with a very tentative Bella and now Bella is excited to go to Pawsitive everyday and enjoys her overnight visits as well. While I would be more than happy with Pawsitive just as a top-notch daycare & boarding facility, it is so much more. Susan has worked with Bella continually over the past 2 years and has eliminated many unwanted behaviors. Susan's talent and experience is an amazing benefit that she provides (at no additional cost) while Bella is at Pawsitive. I am extremely grateful for finding Pawsitive. It is a relief to know there is always some place Bella can go where she is cared for as much as she is at home.
