Working with a knowledgeable, experienced trainer is essential when learning to bring out the best in your dog or puppy. I had one puppy in particular, Rin, who came to me with dog aggression issues and Barbara has helped me to not only work on this issue, but has helped Rin to learn to be more comfortable with herself and with other dogs. Rin is now doing extremely well in rally obedience and I hope to be competing with her in the near future. Barbara has decades of experience (with certifications is support her expertise) in training a variety of pure and mixed breed dogs in a vast array of both sport and working dog activities. She is confident and knows what to expect from the dogs she trains and knows how to teach owners to apply her techniques for optimum results. Barbara is a rare find in that she has a true passion for training and helping people and their dogs to succeed. If one of her techniques does not work for a particular dog, she easily modifies her programs to find the correct mix for you and your dog/puppy. If I am ever crazy enough to get another puppy, you can bet Barbara will be the first person he/she meets. Thank you Barbara for all your help and I look forward to bringing home those medals and racking up those trophies! You are a treasure.

We have…read morebeen working with Cathy at "A Pawsitive Approach Dog Training" for quite awhile now to specifically train our two dogs to be certified Medical Alert Service Dogs. We cannot say enough about how happy we are with the results we have attained thus far while working with Cathy. We love Cathy's confident, passionate nature in which she approaches her work and we love that she always listens and responds to us quickly as her clients. She has been kind and considerate from the start when dealing with us and our doggies. She uses her Pawsitive Approach which has amazed us with how quickly our dogs have responded to her in the exact way she wants them to! She observed and accessed each of our dogs' individual personalities and traits early on and continues to work with each of them positively and with kindness yet with firmness. She truly treats our dogs as if they were her own. And they absolutely adore her and love the new work she is teaching them!! One of our dogs is a little social butterfly and our other dog is cautious with new experiences. Cathy proves each time we work with her that she can successfully work with each of them as individuals. We cannot believe how well our doggies have adapted to their new roles. Cathy has truly gone to great lengths to assist us through this entire process and with our health issues it is such a comfort to know we will be able to confidently have Medical Alert Service Dogs with us at home and in public just about everywhere we go. Thank you Cathy and A Pawsitive Approach Dog Training!

After spending two weeks with Pawsitive Care, and then doing day training with them for a week, she has improved so much! She's learned to walk on her leash and stay beside me waiting for me to let her know when to walk or stop, she can literally shake off her anxiety when she gets too keyed up, and she's learned to stop jumping and sit to wait for pets instead of climbing all over you. Ashley was amazing and offered advice and help even when the training period was over. Definitely recommend - my dog loved it there and it's made her (and our house) so much happier!

Canine Connection is an absolute God-Send for us Dog owners. Our belief is that whether you are…read morejust starting out w/ your new pet, or you've had her for a number of years, the training & mentoring available from Corrina is invaluable. We just recently got a new dog (Bean, a Tibetan Terrier Poodle), and we were a bit apprehensive. This is our family's first dog, and we wanted to "do it right." Having Corrina assist us w/ advice and training has created what we feel the "optimal situation" -- meaning a well-trained dog, and some (semi)-knowledgable owners! Specifically, the training regimen that Corrina uses is "positive reinforcement" and consistency. It works! Our 7 month old puppy is 100% house-broken, responds to commands, and has become an awesome member of our family. Corrina can also help w/ nutrition, medical referrals, daycare referrals, and will entertain requests for "sleep-over camp" -- or "board & train" as she calls them. The true test is that BEAN goes nuttty every time she sees Corrina. Highly recommend this pet trainer/mentor/jedi if you've got a 4-legged friend!

The team has a deep understanding of dog behavior and takes the time to ensure every dog is comfortable, safe, and genuinely well cared for--whether they're there for a day of social club or an extended stay. One of my dogs attends social club nearly every day, and the shuttle service is such a convenient bonus. The new facility is beautiful, and I'm especially excited for my pups to experience boarding in one of the larger suites soon. Thank you, Charla, Raylee, Sharon, CJ, Joe, and the entire team for the love and care you give my dogs. It means so much to know they're always in such great hands.

Five stars for Joe and the Endless Pawsibilities team! We sent our older dog, Luna, for the…read morefour-week board and train, and the change has been remarkable. Before training, Luna lacked confidence, was anxious, and barked constantly to demand attention. She was terrible on walks, constantly pulling and chasing anything that moved, and storms left her trembling. Since she was not food motivated, I felt completely out of my depth trying to train her. Joe's program was thoughtful and structured, with a midpoint check-in and an in-home turnover session that made the transition seamless. Communication from Joe and Raylee was excellent, and we always knew how she was doing. Since training, Luna is a different dog in the best way. She is calm, no longer barks in your face, is confident during storms, and is a total pro on walks. Her recall is fantastic, she understands 'place' and 'down,' and she is more focused when learning new behaviors. She even swims now. She used to avoid the pool, but now she hops in with Wednesday and loves it. At home, she is more relaxed, sleeps better, eats regularly, and gets along beautifully with her sister dogs. The Endless Pawsibilities facility is clean, well run, and clearly prioritizes safety and comfort. Joe is patient, structured, attentive, and truly cares about the dogs and the process. Luna still goes to daycare and lights up when we arrive. I absolutely recommend Joe and this facility. Thank you, Joe. You have made our girl happier, and we are definitely happier too!
