FirstBarkI was at a loss on how to live with Blu after the death of my husband. His grieving and dependence on my husband made him very hard to control. Working with Devin has made Blu and I so much happier. Looking forward to continuing our training so we can become a therapy dog team.

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!

My 2.5 year old dog just finished the Fundamentals of Obedience class, making remarkable improvements in the 6 weeks. Ayla is incredible! She is very observant and can quickly assess what is going well and where there is room for improvement. She explains her suggestions clearly so they click right away. We saw steady growth in the commands working and overall behavior improvements. Multiple neighbors have compliment me on the improvements, which they noticed before I even told them we were in training! We are so glad we came to Positive Pets and plan to continue with future training!
Mike goes above and beyond to make sure your dog understands the commands, that you understand how to communicate with your dog, and that you get the results you’re looking for! 10/10 recommend
My puppy Pilsner and I had a great time at Puppy Preschool! Ayla was a wonderful trainer with so many helpful suggestions. We will definitely be coming back for more!

The training team has been absolutely outstanding. They took the time to understand Elliot, earn his trust, and channel all of that intelligence and energy in the right direction. The progress he has made has been remarkable. Just as importantly, they helped us better understand him and gave us the tools to continue building on everything he has learned. Elliot still has all of the energy, youth, curiosity, and sheer love of life that makes him Elliot—he just has a much better foundation now. We couldn’t be happier with the experience or more appreciative of the patience, knowledge, and care the entire training team showed Elliot. Seeing how far he has come while still keeping the personality we love has been incredible. Five stars without hesitation. We would recommend this team to anyone looking for people who truly understand dogs and genuinely care about helping them succeed.
