FirstBarkWe took the Saturday free class, which was informative. We planned to enroll our dog into group day training. Unfortunately, my husband lost his job due to a 20% reduction at his comany. We had to request a refund and Positive Pets Training were very understanding and gracious about it. We hope to be able to return to have our dog trained once my husband finds employment again.

We did their Puppy school with Tass and it was amazing! It changed the way I approached dog training. I highly recommend it! Normally when I call them I speak with Angie, she is great too! She knows literally everything about Positive Pets!

We absolutely loved working with Riley and Tas! We have seen such a huge improvement in our pup and it’s all thanks to the awesome team at Positive Pets. One reason we signed him up for training was his reactivity around other dogs and after his lessons we don’t have to fear passing other dogs on a walk because the skills we all learned in training! I would definitely recommend Positive Pets if you’re looking to start your training journey!

We loved getting to work with Devin and the staff at Positive Pets. He helped us take our 10 year old dachshund mix from grumpy old man into a well behaved low reactivity dog. Our dog continues to learn and so do we as owners. It’s not a quick fix solution but the progress is so much faster than we hoped and it really comes down to how much time we invest. The team also shared great knowledge about how dogs think and how to work with other dogs in our life so it’s long term knowledge for the future not just our special case. Positive Pets have been so flexible with working with us and where we are at. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone thinking about training to really consider Positive Pets.
Devin and Tas we're very professional in every way. I learned a much as my dog did. We enjoyed the time spent. Thank you for your Training. It's going to help.
The instructors like Devon are awesome he was very helpful and knowledgeable! Thank you so much… he should get a raise😊
