What people have asked about this business.

Can I get pay as you go sessions for my dog for specific problems, such as leash training, separation anxiety, etc. without first signing up for the 6-week course?

Private sessions would be what you need. They are not priced the same as someone who has finished the class course. The first private is one hour fifteen minutes and cost is $150.00...any follow-up is one hour and cost is $95.00. Sessions are held here and scheduling is flexible.Private sessions are very specific to you and your dog and many times one helps enough. Thanks so much! Elaine

Question on Google
I just adopted a 6yr old dog and found he has a strong prey drive. What level of experience do you have, if any with reactive dogs and what method do you use? Thank you for your time.

I use only positive reinforcement methods for all training. I have 30 plus years of experience using these methods...before they were popular! I am very familiar with the negative results of force training and have studied under many top behavioral trainers. A private consult would be needed for your dog. Please text or call for pricing and to discuss further! Thank you so much for your question! Elaine Randall-Rust. Positive Pup Dog Training 717-781-4536.

Not the training that would help my dog.

Elaine does a fantastic job! My family has had 2 rescue pups that went thru her training and she really helped us and the pups with behavior and commands using techniques we were not familiar with. Thanks Elaine!

I admit, I only went once but that is all it took to realize the check was going to clear and my dog was still going to be disobedient. No structure to classes,older aggressive puppies with 8week old puppies is a very irresponsible and dangerous situation. I highly suggest seeking out a class and instructor who actually possesses extensive knowledge in the behavior and ethics of training.

It took me awhile to decide to leave this review because typically I don't leave negative reviews. In this case however several things bug me and I figured if I speak up about it it may help someone else make a more informed decision. First this trainer didn't really help me with any of my concerns and didn't tell me anything I couldn't have easily found on YouTube or searching the internet. Also when it was time for puppy play I warned her he didn't always know his own size and of course when he went to lay on another dog she freaked out and instead of addressing the problem or helping me find a solution she acted nervous and unconfident and just told me to put him back on the leash. That I am fine with but she never addressed the problem. What am I paying you for if not to help with these things? Even a exercise to do at home would have been helpful. He isn't aggressive just large. Not only this but 2 weeks later my dog got sick. I texted her to let her know so she could also inform anyone he was in contact with and to be open and honest. I told her I needed to get the all clear from the vet and we set a tentative return date. Well he relapsed and I didn't show to the training. Knowing he had kennel cough I kinda expected a text or phone call asking how he was or just something but that's too much to ask of this trainer. She already had my money so why would she care? If you want a instructor that actually cares and will help I would think twice about this place.

Learning a lot about training the new puppy. Good interaction with other dogs to make sure our little Fiona knows how to act around other dogs.
