Seattle Canine Solutions is a rewards-based dog training business led by Sharon, a certified positive reinforcement trainer and behavior specialist. They focus on building a healthy, communication-driven relationship between dogs and their owners using only humane, punishment-free methods. Services include private in-home training, behavior modification for fearful or reactive dogs, new puppy parenting guidance, and enrichment walks for non-reactive or reactive dogs. They do not use any punishment-based tools like choke chains, pinch collars, or physical force. Their approach emphasizes understanding dog behavior, strengthening the human-dog bond, and creating lasting results without intimidation.

They offer a 2-hour New Puppy Parenting session for puppies 7–16 weeks old, covering potty training, socialization, biting, chewing, and crate training. For older dogs, they provide one-on-one Basic Training Sessions and a Reactivity Bundle for dogs fearful of strangers or other dogs. Enrichment walks are available for small, non-reactive dogs under 20 lbs, and reactive walk-and-train sessions are offered as a supplement to ongoing training programs.
