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.”
– JR
“The Positive Pets team has an incredible wealth of knowledge and truly can train ANY dog! I started training my Jack Russell terrier at 10 years old – he lacked confidence and was reactive to other dogs… Donny and the crew helped show how not only to build my JRT’s confidence, but build MY confidence… now we have a stronger bond than ever.”
– Client
“I’ve trained 2 different dogs with Positive Pets, both with reactivity challenges, and after training with their team it’s hard to believe they are the same dogs. I learned so much through training with these guys, I wouldn’t take my dogs anywhere else!”
