Purely Positive Dog Training

Susan was wonderful to work with! We had a wonderful experience training our newly adopted boxer who needed some help with manners in the house and on the leash. She helped my dog so much over our five sessions and gave me the confidence to be a better and more effective leader for him. She is so knowledgeable and brings a calm and positive energy to every training session. She even made sure to incorporate my young children in the training so they could get involved. The detailed follow-up emails after each session are super helpful and something I will continue to refer back to even after our sessions are over. Highly recommend working with Susan for any dog training needs!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Susan and the impact she has had on our 1-year-old sheepadoodle — and on us as dog parents. We came to her struggling with some resource guarding behaviors that we just didn’t know how to handle. From the very beginning, Susan took the time to really get to know our pup’s personality, our home environment, and our concerns. Her personalized approach made all the difference. What stood out immediately was how patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated she is. Susan never made us feel rushed or overwhelmed. She broke everything down into manageable steps and explained not just what to do, but why it mattered. Her guidance was practical, thoughtful, and rooted in a deep understanding of dog behavior. Thanks to her support, we’ve seen a huge improvement in our dog’s behavior and confidence. More importantly, we now feel empowered to support him in the right way going forward. Susan is a true partner in the training process, and it's clear she cares deeply about both the dogs and the people she works with. If you’re looking for a trainer who will go above and beyond to help you and your dog succeed, look no further than Susan. She’s an absolute gem!

We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Purely Positive Dog Training. From the start, their team took the time to truly understand our dog, Vesper, and tailored an enrichment-focused approach that has made all the difference. The enrichment techniques they use go far beyond basic obedience—they’ve helped Vesper become more confident, mentally stimulated, and engaged throughout the day. Whether it’s scent work, puzzle feeders, or structured play, their methods are clearly designed with a deep understanding of canine behavior and emotional well-being. We’ve seen a noticeable shift in Vesper’s demeanor at home. She’s calmer, more curious, and genuinely seems happier. We’re so grateful for the support and guidance from the trainers, and we love that they always focus on positive reinforcement. Highly recommend Purely Positive to anyone who wants to build a strong, joyful bond with their dog!
