Testimonials
He would lunge at every person, car, or dog that walked along us and was always in “protection” mode. He would pull his leash during walks and because he’s a big dog, he’s caused my mother to fall before during a walk. He had even more guarded and aggressive behavior when guests would come over. I signed Bentley up for a 3 week board and train and they kept me updated EVERY DAY with pictures and/or comments. It gave me a sense of relief knowing what he’s up to and how he is behaving. He came back super happy and I can tell he’s enjoyed his time with PVK9 and all the friends he made, including his new girlfriend, Cora. Bentley is so pleasant to have now. We enjoy our walks together and he’s become an overall behaved dog. Sarah and Brooke gave us information on how to properly do correction and spend multiple days with us training us too so that when he got home, we would feel comfortable and know how to handle any situation we came across. We are now a few weeks post training and we are so grateful for PVK9! They’ve changed our lives and helped us be a better family.
-Bentley B&T
Brooke and Sarah have been absolutely amazing with the training of my very spirited husky mix. Without them I doubt she would have acclimated to our family as well as she has. Pawsitive Vibes has kept up with our pups high energy and my family’s ever changing needs in a very busy household. Looking forward to continuing to work with Brooke and Sarah for a long time.
-Beatrice B&T + D&T
I have had 3 dogs trained with Sarah now over the years. The level of knowledge she has with dogs of every caliber is unmatched. From having a very behavioural girl, to a hyper sweet boy, and then a nervous unsure girl. Sarah gave me me all the tools to teach and understand each one of them in their own ways. My dogs are now all very balanced confident dogs I trust In every situation and environment. The bond I have been able to build with my dogs because of Sarah I will never be able to thank her enough. I would trust Sarah with my babies hands down!
