Pawsitive K9 Training

Pawsitive K9 Training offers three main programs: Group Classes (like Composed Canines 1) for foundational obedience in a group setting; Private Sessions for one-on-one training at home or facility; and Stay & Train (board and train) where the dog stays with the trainer for an intensive program. All programs include a free initial consultation, personalized training plans, and ongoing support via email and a private Facebook group. The Elite Puppy Program and Top Dog Stay & Train are intensive, structured programs designed for foundational skills and behavior modification.
