Testimonials
“We have a pug mix, and a Belgian Shepherd mix. We had make zero progress with both until we started working with Adam. After a few sessions both dogs have been transformed by Adam. He has also taught us a lot about dog behavior and their motivations. Adam is also extremely organized and truly cares about both his human and canine clients. We would give Adam and Pawsitive our highest possible recommendation.”
– Brad P.
“We are owners of our first family puppy, so we had no idea how to train him or even what to expect. Adam has been a life-saver. He makes training fun, and easy to understand and the puppy is really learning so much!! Would totally recommend.”
– An F.
“I just wanted to write a note of appreciation for the excellent training work Adam did with Jacques, my mini schnauzer in puppy head start training class. Adam is knowledgeable and obviously, loves dogs. He was also flexible with my schedule which was nice too. In addition to excellent weekly training session according to schedule, he would give much excellent advice about socializing and other issues we had. He made an immediate connection with puppy and us.”
