Recipients We are so lucky to have found Always Pawsitive Dog Training! Our rescue dog had been struggling with some major anxiety issues since we adopted her. Kassondra worked gently with our dog, and patiently with us, as we learned how to read our dog's signals and let her go at her own pace. Kassondra trains only with positive reinforcement and patience. She is exactly what our sweet girl needed to gain her confidence!

Rusty was dropped off at my dad's Farm over 6 years ago. It was time to transition him into an indoor dog this summer and Kassandra was the perfect fit for our family. We suspect he is a pit/ heeler mix and he can be quite loving and unpredictable. She helped to make his move seamless and we could not be happier. I cringe at the thought of how this would have gone had we chosen a trainer who used punishment. She spent the time to teach us about Rusty and look for his subtle communication with us. It has been a true joy to work with her!
I have a mixed breed 1 year old who just never seemed to want to be calm. He was driving me crazy. I'm not after a perfect dog but I want a dog that doesn't treat my house like a dog park, run away when I tell him to come, doesn't jump on our head when greeting us, etc. Kosson…Read full reviewClose full review
I have a mixed breed 1 year old who just never seemed to want to be calm. He was driving me crazy. I'm not after a perfect dog but I want a dog that doesn't treat my house like a dog park, run away when I tell him to come, doesn't jump on our head when greeting us, etc. Kossondra really was great with him. He liked her immediately and she helped me understand my dog so that I can shape him to what we want in the next few months. Even after just a few lessons with her there is a huge difference. And that was without even raising our voice much less a smack. She really gets dogs and they know it.

I was discouraged to find that the majority of dog trainers in the area used punishment techniques for training dogs. While they may not be described this way they ultimately are. Beware that most training solutions that are advertised as quick usually involve some type of positive punishment. We adopted a 1.5 yr old hound mix who is very energetic and has a strong prey dive. Kassondra was realistic with us in regards to expectations but also offered some solutions that have definitely helped exercise his mind and keep him busy. Couldn't recommend her enough!
