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.

We were impressed with Paul's technique and ability to get our 4 month old puppy to take commands, eat a treat right from his hand within the first 30 minutes of our session. He genuinely loves what he does and it shows. He is positive and encouraging throughout the session and provides plenty of information to take home to continue our training. I highly recommend Paul. You can't go wrong using Pawsitive Paul's Dog Training.

We just had our first session with Paul and our special needs fearful pup. Paul was nothing short of spectacular with her and us. His demeanor was cool, calm, and collected while giving us direction and helpful information on how to go about training our little one.
I can't recommend him enough. He was kind and super friendly to work with. We can't wait for our next session!

Paul was so helpful. He met us where we were and helped us make a plan to address our specific concerns. Our pup is very reactive on walks. He's a good boy and does a lot of things right, but we've been lost on how to handle his reactivity. Paul listened to us and really paid attention to our dog's behavior and personality. He packed so much advice into our one on one session and we finally feel like we have a plan that makes sense.
As the name would suggest, he has a very positive style of training, which is awesome. While some trainers would recommend using aversive training techniques to "control" dogs (no thank you), Paul's approach was to take our situation (excessive barking at other dogs on walks) and to make a plan that is fun and engaging for both us and our dog.
It's going to be a big improvement in how we work with our dog. It will take work & intention to change our habits, but that's the whole thing with dog training. It's really us humans who need the training. There's no magic button to "fix" your dog. Paul helps you see that your dog is responding to your routines and the way you communicate with him/her, whether you're communicating on purpose or by accident. I should also mention that the plan he gave us is very doable--we are not very experienced with dog training & we have full time jobs, but we can definitely fit this training plan into our daily routines.
We haven't had time yet to see the results, so I plan to update in a few weeks. I really believe that our plan can only make our dog (and us) feel happier, more confident, and far less confused about our communication.
