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.

Cotto Loves hanging out with his friends here… And the staff is AMAZING!!! 🐶❤️
Pawsitively pals helped me work with my nippy schipperke to where I feel confident that we can go out in public without worry of anyone being “pinched”. Thank you Lauren
Lola just wrapped up her first round of training sessions with Lauren at Pawsitive Pals and she has come a LONG way. She's feeling more confident around people every day and following the commands she has learned like a pro. If you're seeking a postive training approach, Lauren and Pawstive Pals is the way to go 👍 Excited for another round of training and to see how Lola progresses.

My husband and I have been part of the Paws'itive Pals Dog Training pack for at least five years, and have been so thankful for having Lauren and her team in our lives and the lives of our dogs. She is extremely conscientious, loving, but realistic for her dogs and people, and works harder than almost all people I know. When we got a new Springer Spaniel puppy just over 2 years ago, we arranged for Lauren to take him for his first three weeks for 24 hours per day and pre-train him. It was brilliant, and Henry Higgins, our now rather big Springer was taught commands, potty training and even swimming while she had him , handing the reins over to us with Henry already started in his training. She is reasonable about requests and changes and because of her talent and caring, she has become a cherished friend. Paws'itive Pals is a wonderful addition to our community and a godsend for the responsible and loving dog parents in our community.
