Pawsitive Steps

between humans and their dogs. Training the dog you want... For some, showing their dog on the conformation circuit is the ultimate goal. For others, they just want a dog that won't steal the Thanksgiving turkey while the holiday guests are arriving. At Pawsitive Steps, we want you to have a dog that YOU want to live with. Our services are geared t... owards everyday pet owner who wants to have a do-anything dog who will lovingly respond to ALL members of your household, each and every time. Our philosophy is that good dog training begins with good human training. Yes, you read this correctly! Our classes should actually be called HUMAN TRAINING courses, because that is what we strive to do: TRAIN HUMANS! Unless your dog knows what you expect from them on a continual basis, there will always be a disconnect between what you WANT them to do and what they WILL do. If the humans learn to be fair and consistent, there is no room left for guessing the dogs part! Everyone wins! Pawsitive Steps staff members look at each dog as an individual. We recognize that often, methods that work for some dogs don't always work well for others. Using consistent methods that make sense to the dog, we teach humans how to more effectively communicate with their dogs. We are proud to assist in bridging the gap between what you may THINK you are saying to your dog and what they are ACTUALLY hearing. The Pawsitive Steps K9 staff is comprised of some of the area's finest trainers. Pawsitive Steps prides itself on a staff that has been both formally educated in animal behavioral science and numerous years of being actively engaged in the animal behavioral field. Whether you are interested in a seminar, group classes, private lessons, or a private consultation, our staff is ready to assist you and your four-legged pal. We look forward to working with you and your canine companion! In addition to group Classes, Pawsitive Steps also proudly offers the following services: Shes Back at it AGAIN!
