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.

The best doggy daycare care in Nevada County. If your dog needs exercise and wants to have fun, PAWS'itive is the place to go.

We would be lost without Lauren and Pawsitive Pals! My dog Blue has been a regular at daycare since I adopted him, and his time with the pack has helped him build confidence, strengthen his social skills and improve his obedience. Lauren has also helped me time and time again to become a better dog owner and leader for Blue. We are so grateful!

Don’t bring your dog here if you’re not cool with them putting shock collars without asking and having your dog wind up dead. I can not believe they are still in business after the lawsuit

Always happy dogs! Excellent handlers, beautiful property! Lauren is 100% the best dog trainer in all of Northern California! Honest and very articulate with the dogs and her style of training. She understands dogs to a T. I couldn't ask for a better person to handle difficult behaviors she is able to predict what is going to happen before she even sees the dog in action. I will stand by her always

Would never take my dog here for boarding. Staff is rude. Dogs seem very poorly taken care of.
