Pawsitive Training Center

We are first time pup parents and were nervous about the training process for brodie especially because we ended having him unexpectedly! However, after making the BEST decision to go with Marty..brodie came home after two weeks of Marty’s boarding and training and we saw a great change in him overall! I went from having to chase him around the yard to get him inside to now a simple call! Among other improvements, he is now crate trained..and crate trained very well 😅 we appreciate Marty so much! What was also very helpful was Marty’s recommendations/suggestions he sent through text for better training and food/snacks. He walked us through brodies training in a way that was not overwhelming and we can clearly see how passionate and knowledgeable he is with training or just dogs in general! There’s much more I can say but I’ll end it with highly recommending Marty, you won’t regret it!

To say Marty is knowledgeable is an understatement. He is not only qualified for training dogs and puppies, but also at explaining and breaking down that knowledge in such a way to make what the handler needs to know easy to understand. He recommended a book for us to read, "Puppy Start Right." This is a great book for anyone who is considering bringing a canine into their family to read before and after doing so. During our 8-week-old pup's recent 2-week board and train for crate and potty, he learned so much more, like not jumping up on people, waiting for food, supervised puppy play dates, resource guarding desensitization, riding in vehicles, meeting tons of new people, and more! I learned how critical this age and stage of development is to the rest of the dog's life. I can't say enough good things or express my appreciation enough for Marty's help getting us started off in a positive direction. I think of Marty as a canine coach and counselor who bridges the gap between human and dogs facilitating and strengthening their connections.

From our first training session I could see the love Marty has for his pups and the passion for positive training. I had no idea how to train a puppy, all I knew is I wanted a well trained dog. Marty has helped with every step from crate training, potty training, name recognition, recall, loose leash training, “mine & take it”, socializing and many other commands. That’s a lot when I think about it and there is no way I could have ever done this alone. Bailey is doing amazing and is a total joy. She is a well behaved dog. I enjoy each of our training sessions and look forward to the next! Thanks Marty, Bailey & I could not have done it without you. See you soon.
