What people have asked about this business.

So I got a husky and work 9-5 5 days a week do you do sessions where he can be there while I work

Sorry, that’s not the type of training that I do. What you’re looking for is more of a “training boot camp”. Honestly though, a doggy daycare would suit your needs better. At the very least, it will give your dog some playtime with other dogs and relieve them of pent up energy.

Had a fantastic dog training session with Paul! It was like having weeks of training in one visit. He came to our home, and covered every single issue we had been having with our puppy. He then sent follow up notes to continue with the training. He said to call if we had any ongoing issues. Highly recommended! So glad we found Pawsitive Paul!

Paul made an in-home visit to meet Talia, who is our 11-year-old Border Collie. We really needed some consultation as Talia was an only child until our human son Camden arrived. Paul was so incredibly helpful in giving us tips and tricks to ease Talia into the transition. Paul also snuck in some extra tricks (i.e. not barking at the sound of a knock) that we really really appreciated. We look forward to working with Paul in the future as needed and would highly recommend for all interested dog owners : ).

If I could give 11 out of 10 stars I would! Paul was wonderful with our new pup! She was unsure at first and within minutes warmed right up to him---he was amazing! Paul is like having your own personal doggie translator!! His knowledge and understanding of our four legged friends is incredible!

We’re so grateful for having Paul driving all the way to Bellevue to share all his knowledge and experience on dog training with us. Mia loves him, she was so happy during the entire training session.
