About PAWS'itive Pals Dog Training
We use paws'itive reinforcement to reach even the most poorly mannered dogs. We cultivate the trust of the dog to facilitate a teaching method for the “furrent” (furparent/owner) and the canine companion. There are numerous methods that are used in training our furry life-partners, however we believe that dogs primary focus is on the resource; thus we use paws'itive reinforcement of food, touch, and verbal praise. When you join the Pal Pack you can feel assured that you are gaining knowledge as to how to work with your furfamily with compassion and care, with respect and reverence, and most of all in the language that your dog is speaking until they learn your language.

We recently adopted a rescue dog. He was having difficulty socializing with other dogs, and we started bringing him to PAWS'itive Pals. After just a few short visits, he is already playing with the pack. We are so happy with the services provided, and have even tried the board and train services for a recent short trip. Lauren and her staff are wonderful, and we are so appreciative that our dog Oliver has shown so much progress in such a short time! A wonderful facility with caring and knowledgeable staff.
Lauren is awesome! I have two dog's one bluetick hound the other a cane corso mastiff.

Lauren is awesome! I have two dog's one bluetick hound the other a cane corso mastiff. I haven't been able to take a vacation for almost 5 years because of my mastiffs severe separation anxiety and he does not like other people besides myself and my family. Within the first visit Lauren was already integrating herself with him and had me do some at home exercises. The second visit she was able to handle him without him trying to eat her which I thought would be impossible. Two more visits and they we're ready to be left for our week long vacation. Her boarding facility is like a dog apartment no cages they can go outside to their private fenced yard or stay in side in the heated or cooled huge quarters. My dogs definitely missed me and refused to eat their dry food I brought for them. Lauren bought a case of wet food for them which she would'nt let me pay for so they didn't starve. My hound got to go into the dog park and play with the other dogs while my mastiff watched from the other side of fence (couldn't be trusted just yet around the other dog's but did great watching from other side which was unbelievable if you knew this dog).It's great knowing I have someone like her to be able to watch our four legged family when we have to leave town. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone for boarding or training in her huge dog park with a pack of other dogs in training.
Our Jenny received rattlesnake avoidance training from Paws'tive Pals. It paid off yesterday. Jenny normally stays close to me when I am working; yesterday (I should have noticed) she stayed back 30 feet. I moved a log and there was a rattlesnake. I removed her from the area so she would not see me collect the snake for removal. Thank you PAWS'itive Pals!
Awesome staff, excellent job
