Positive Pups Training understands that most dog owners want a well-behaved, yet happy companion. They want a pet that is polite with visitors, is safe around children and is a pleasure to walk. They don’t want a destruction dog that soils in the house, digs up the yard and chews on their shoes.My goal is to teach you to be the best pet parent you can be, using positive reinforcement training along with knowledge of canine development, body language, socialization, handling, control and management skills.Training and other mental stimulation can be just as exhausting for your pet as physical exercise. Instituting a “learn to earn” program helps reduce your adolescent dog’s boundless energy while building confidence, self-control and the ability to learn more.Dawn earned her CPDT-KA (Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed) in 2009, and has attended National conferences, seminars and workshops featuring today’s leading trainers, authors and speakers in the training industry.
