PAWSitively Obedient

My smart, high energy, dog reactive hound and I are regulars here. We started out with day training because I was struggling to give her enough play/work. The trainers are all great with my dog and with me. They keep reminding us that they’re dogs, behaving like dogs. Everyone is safe, calm, and supportive. No drama. No shaming. Daisy has benefited greatly from day training (ask about package savings). Videos help me reinforce what they’ve worked on. We’ve taken a bunch of (reasonably priced) classes together so far, including: reactive rover, basic obedience, basic agility, obstacles, scent work, tricks, and group walks. (Tricks and obstacles are my favorites) There was also one focused on food motivated dogs, and improving my treat delivery and her patience. We also do some focused private training and are working on handling to make vet visits easier. They offer a lot of variety, so you can pick what works for you. Trainers also keep up with their own education, taking a variety of classes to develop their training skills. Working with them makes a HUGE difference in our quality of life. Give them a try.

We’ve only had two training sessions with our 7-month-old pug, Ollie, and the transformation has been incredible! He’s already listening so much better, following commands, and becoming a more well-behaved puppy. We couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ollie absolutely loves his classes, and by the end of each session he’s happily exhausted! The trainer has been wonderful, and we’ve already seen such a positive difference in such a short time. Thank you so much for everything—you’ve made such an impact on our little guy!

We love PAWSitively Obedient! Their positive, kind, and relationship-focused approach has made such a difference for our family and our dogs. We have two young, high-energy dogs, including one who struggles with confidence, and they've met each dog exactly where they are. They have helped us channel all that puppy energy into productive learning while also building our less confident dog's trust and self-assurance in a way that has been truly amazing to watch. We've been fortunate to have participated in group classes, full-day training, and private in-home sessions, and every experience has been outstanding. Their guidance is always thoughtful, practical, and tailored to the individual dog. No matter the setting, they create a positive learning environment that sets both dogs and humans up for success. Not only are they incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at what they do, but they genuinely care about the dogs and the people they work with. We've seen tremendous growth in both of our dogs, and we've learned so much along the way. If you're looking for trainers who use positive methods, understand canine behavior, and are truly invested in helping your dog succeed, we highly recommend them!

If I could give this organization 10 stars I would. My Ruby ( 14 month old Australian labradoodle ) and I attending classes here since Ruby was 11 weeks old. These women are incredibly talented knowledgeable and supportive trainers. A longtime dog owner/ person , when Ruby entered my life- wow was I in for it - sensitive, BIG feelings, play machine . Janice and her team have totally guided my Spitfire and I - I cannot recommend them enough. Well worth our drive from Hull to Hanover . We’ve done and do it all- group classes, individual, day school- they are THE BEST!
