FirstBarkHighly recommend working with Pawsitive Beginnings. Lateria gave us the tools we needed to make our dog walks way less stressful. I can’t believe the change in our dogs over such a short amount of time. I wish we would have worked with her sooner.

We contacted Pawsitive Beginnings to help us with our 10 y.o. Dachshund's separation anxiety after the sudden and unexpected the death of his brother. They were litter mates and a bonded pair. Lateria Hood responded promptly stating she would love to work with us to help our dog cope with the sudden changes in his life. We've been working with Lateria for almost 3 weeks and we have already are seen so many positive changes in our dog's behavior. She helped us develop a plan to get our dog back into a routine because he wasn't eating or sleeping. He is sleeping through the night, eating on a schedule, and not having accidents in the house.
Highly recommend dog training sessions with Lateria and Pawsitive beginnings! Not only did we work on finding training solutions for a lot of our dog’s problem behavior's, we learned how our behavior was contributing and what we could work on too. The comprehensive training plan provided was top notch, and has been working! 10/10 recommend!

Pawsitive Beginnings training helped us and our 1-year old lab mix, Hazel, learn how to greet visitors without barking and jumping all over them. After one month, we have seen a drastic improvement in Hazel’s greeting manners, and we are able to have guests over without worrying about her constantly barking at them or jumping on them. If you have an excitable dog who loves houseguests a bit too much, Pawsitive Beginnings can teach you a set of tools to better manage your pup’s excess energy.

We have loved our experience with Lateria! She is so knowledgeable and was able to provide so much guidance while we trained our 3 year old lab mix rescue. She was a stray and had so much anxiety which came out in a multitude of behavior issues. Lateria guided us through some intensive training and helped us sign up for Doggie University. I’m so happy with the results! Deana has much better manners because Lateria taught her (and us!) some great coping mechanisms for her stress. Thank you!
