Only have good things to say about our trainer Patti and our Kindergarten puppy class. My puppy Cairn learned a lot and it helped me train her much faster and helped me understand my puppies thinking and behaviors better. Patti is super nice and was super helpful, patient and understanding that life gets in the way sometimes. I highly recommend classes with Patti. The only things I think that could be better would be the location for that class, as it’s pretty noisy and can be hard to hear when everyone is talking cause the highway being so close. The shelter space it was held at had issues with ants for some of the classes I know ants were bad this year and Patti did everything she could to clear the space for everyone. Maybe the shelter could pay an exterminator to come out there as they have options that are safe for animals. Maybe doing the classes at a big park with shade and trees or something might work out better is my best suggestion for the future, but I know they are working on that and Patti being so great at training made me not pay attention to that as much, as that was out of her hands and she was doing the best she could with everything. Thanks for all your help Patti. 🙏🐶

I thank my vet everyday that he recommended I contact Get Pawsitive and Sarah Surrit to teach my dog Sadie, and me what I needed to do to keep her calm and less reactive. It's an ongoing process, but Sadie is my family, and I love her to pieces.

I just love working with Sarah and her trainers! What an amazing team We started with puppy classes, moved to more obedience classes, then onto a recall class, and then the reactive dog class I always walk away with so much more knowledge than when I started. Janet Jolene is turning out to be one of the best dogs ever!!! Thank you Sarah and team!!

Can’t believe how quickly my puppy is becoming a well behaved dog! The trainers are amazing at giving tips that really work. No more nipping and great on a leash and the dog is not even 5 months old.
