Testimonials
Kathy has helped me with all of my rescue pups. She is positive force free and truly has your dogs best interests in mind. Kathy has brought in other trainers for some classes that are also positive, force free and concerned about all pets. Classes are smaller than most places so you get the attention and time needed. Fee’s are by far the lowest in the area. You will not find a kinder, cleaner training facility than here!

Paws-A-Tive Choice and Kathy are simply amazing! Beautiful, clean, and HUGE facility. Kathy is an experienced trainer who uses positive reinforcement training methods and orchestrates her classes so both people and their dogs succeed! Kathy developed a special nose work program for dogs with sensitivities who don’t do well in traditional group classes. I enrolled my GSD who has struggled in other group class settings (e.g. facility was too small; other dogs were barking at her; other people would get into our space, etc.). My GSD had her first nose work class on 3/5/2020 and it was the first time I’ve seen her happy, calm, relaxed, and wanting to stay in a brand new location. I highly recommend Pawsative Choice for all your puppy/dog training needs. My GSD gives it 4 paws up!
