Positive Canine Training and Services, LLC.

I never really believed in the usefulness of puppy classes or professional dog training but I have to say Linda has been invaluable to me getting a new puppy. I got my Puppy Rambo at 4.5 months and enrolled in the puppy class to get him exposure to some other dogs his age. Little did I know Linda's guidance and training has helped him develop into a spectacular dog and helped me become the kind of owner who can ensure their pet has a great life. Linda also stepped in to help with some separation anxiety training. While puppy class was fun an educational, the Separation anxiety was formalized and heavily focused, and the results were spectacular. Linda was able to teach me how to read my dog and work with him to being alone while I am at work. While the training is not easy, it is effective and you see improvement every day. I cannot recommend Linda and her services enough. Even better than training Rambo, she trained me to be a confident, effective, and loving dog owner.

Shortly after adopting my now 10 year-old Boxer/Pittie mix from a crowded public shelter I contacted Linda at Positive Canine Training to help Benny start his new life off on the right paw. Having met Benny while volunteering, I knew he was a good dog - Linda helped make him a great dog. We now have wonderful, miles-long walks every day without Benny dragging me down the street. His anxiety over my occasional absences is nearly gone after Linda gave me the tools to help manage his fears, behavior and emotions. And to my delight, Benny is now comfortable in the company of other dogs, which gives us a lot more freedom to arrange dog play dates and vary his daily routine. Most of all, Benny is a more balanced and happy dog. Thanks to Linda he has acclimated quickly and successfully to his new life after showing signs of serious deterioration while at the shelter. Professionally, I work with hundreds of shelters, rescues, and adopters around the country and appreciate the value of good, positive training. I recommend Linda and Positive Canine Training without reservation; if there were more than five stars available I would give them all!

(My dog and) I have been working with Linda for nearly the past year. My dog was a rescue with severe fear & anxiety (towards everything, you name it!) and Linda came highly recommended by many in my area. She set us on the right path, teaching me to learn his signals and how to slowly introduce him to the world around him. My new favorite pastime is figuring out what I can teach him to do with a clicker! In addition to her work with us during sessions, Linda is always very responsive to my detailed emails (seriously, they can go on for pages and pages!) which is a huge comfort knowing she is always there when needed. She even walked over one afternoon just after a blizzard last winter, after I emailed her in a panic that I couldn't get my dog's collar back on upon returning from the groomer! There are very few people that my dog will accept outside of his original pack, and Linda is one of them! And anyone who's ok in his book, is ok in mine! :)

Linda is an amazing trainer. She is extremely patient, caring and informative. I love that she follows up after lessons with informative emails and links to helpful videos. Linda is always responsive, I have reached out to her many a time in between sessions with questions and she ALWAYS responds almost immediately. And most importantly my fur baby Lilly adores her!!!! Trust me you wont find a better or more genuine trainer anywhere!!
