FirstBarkErin is FANTASTIC! She worked with my puppy to set great habits, positive reinforcement, and trained me too (for consistency and success). I recommend Bessey's Positive Paws for puppies and older pups who may need a refresher!

I can't say enough good things about Erin Bessey and her Positive Paws behavior training. I don't call it pet training in my case since it was me that needed educating. Buddy is a 2 year old rescue that I've had for nearly a year now. Under Erin's competent guidance I was able to use techniques she taught me to turn my rambunctious rescue pup into a charming little guy. He's gentle with kids and walks with barely a tug. You get out of the training what you put in. With that said, if you are looking for some expert help to get you and your pet to the next level, you really ought to check out Erin Bessey's Positive Paws!
Erin is a great assist for me. Erin has worked with our English Bulldog Walter. She has helped me understand how to train Walter when his not with her. She takes the time to answer any questions I text her. I would recommend anyone to get in touch with Erin ( Besseys Positive Paws) and talk with her about training sessions
We took our dog for training at Bessey's Positive Paws, and it was a very valuable experience! Erin is a clear, attentive trainer, and the space was awesome. We learned SO much, even though we had taken training at another facility - and so did our pup! We are grateful to Bessey's Positive Paws for all of the support and information! Highly recommend.
Friendly and non-judgmental, Erin is extraordinarily talented and knowledgeable working with dogs and their owners for the best possible outcome.
