PawsitiveProgress,LLC

Pawsitive Progress offers a structured training program designed to help dogs learn ethically and efficiently using the LIMA method. The process begins with a consultation to develop a game plan for the best possible outcome. Following the consultation, weekly training sessions are conducted where Lili meets with the owner and pet to assess progress, provide guidance, and refine the training plan.

The program emphasizes positive reinforcement and a systematic problem-solving approach to reinforce positive habits and minimize the need for corrections. This system helps owners identify problem behaviors, develop strategies to replace them, establish successful reinforcement strategies, and measure progress over time. The goal is to foster a strong bond between the dog and owner based on trust and understanding.
