The Pawsitive Center for Dogs Inc. is a dog training business led by Leah LeFevre, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (ABCDT), offering science-based, force-free training using positive reinforcement with treats, toys, praise, and physical touch. They provide private in-home training sessions, virtual Zoom lessons, and long-term support via text and email to help families address common issues like leash pulling, jumping, barking, fearfulness, and poor recall. Their programs are tailored to different lifestyles: the Essentials Program for hands-on owners, the Well-Mannered Program for busy families seeking time-saving results, and the Set for Life Program for comprehensive, intensive training with lifetime support. Leah also offers “Sniffaris” — supervised enrichment walks — and includes a demo dog, Keno, who helps with fearful and reactive dogs. The business supports puppies through senior dogs and specializes in behavior modification for reactivity, fear, and nipping. Training occurs primarily in the client’s home or at pet-friendly public locations like parks and stores.

They also offer virtual training for clients outside their travel range, with 30-minute Zoom sessions and detailed follow-up notes. All training is customized after a paid consultation to assess the dog’s needs and owner goals. Leah has over a decade of experience, having worked with shelter dogs, fostered bully breeds, and volunteered extensively in rescue organizations.

Additional services include dog walking and pet sitting, with payment accepted via cash, check, PayPal, and Venmo.
