Testimonials

“Murray, a loving but occasionally stubborn pup, joined Positive Pets at a year old. Just like with kids, repeating commands used to be a common thing. But thanks to their training, life with a dog is now much smoother.
I had concerns that training might alter Murray’s personality, but it didn’t. Good habits grew, and the bad ones vanished. Positive Pets has an exceptional impact on you and your dog.
With a wide range of classes, from shed finding to advanced obedience, they cater to all dogs. Whether your pup has issues or is just starting out, they have the experience to make a difference.”
– JR and his dog, “Murray”
