We had trouble with an anxious dog that would growl at my 5 year old son. Sarah met with us and…read moreassessed the situation. Then through 4 training sessions, taught me how to train my dog, which helps to ease her anxiety. She also taught me how to regularly interact with my dog to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior in daily life. She was very thorough in helping me teach my son how to interact with my dog as well. The wholistic, all-around approach to solving our problem was unique and customized to my situation, which I appreciate greatly! Sarah was wonderful to work with, had great communication, and continues to follow up to ensure we have achieved the results we are looking for. I highly recommend working with Sarah and the team at the Persuaded Pooch for any dog training needs!

I've been telling everyone I know with new puppies about STL Obedience Training and wish they offered more classes for me and my fur babies!

We put off getting them done because I hate putting him through it especially when I don't know any groomers in the area. Your groomers at this location listened and understood my concerns and went out of their way to make sure he had a good experience. One of your groomers, Stephanie, cradled him and kept him calm and happy while another trimmed his nails. I was extremely satisfied with everything.

He has a great feel for dogs and makes my little girl feel very loved. Definitely worth the investment!

My dog is anxious about grooming but since we started coming here, he's come a LONG way. I used to have to put him into a carrying kennel to even get him into his grooming appointments because he would get so freaked out. Ever since we started seeing Tiffany at this Pet Co, we don't have to do that anymore. He always leaves happy and wagging his tail instead of cowering and upset. She is so kind and patient with him. We really appreciate her heart for animals!!

The "Leave it" phrase is also so helpful. Jen doesn't train dogs, she trains humans on how best to communicate with their dogs! We practice with Mayzie every day and are so grateful for these classes. Also, Mayzie was too little compared to the other puppies in her class. Jen really cares about the culture of the classroom, because it is VITAL that all the dogs work well together for training to take place effectively. She asked us if we could do a different class, and she even CREATED a specific class for our pup and added a few others to it. She went above and beyond for our girl to feel comfortable and confident during class. We are newlyweds and do not have a big income, and we talk frequently about how grateful we are that we spent money to take this class, even though we had to manage our resources differently that month. Jen also has the most reasonable rates in the St. Louis area. I honestly could not recommend more!

I had a behaviorist come in who recommended Pawsitive Principles. They have been working with my dogs and we have made tremendous progress. Thanks to them both of my dogs are doing so much better. They only use positive reinforcement so the dogs even enjoy the skills that they are learning. I have been so impressed with this company that I now have another dog working with them to become a therapy dog. I would recommend Ashley and Suzanne to anyone who has dogs with behavioral issues or who just wants basic skills, therapy dog or service dog training. They are so easy to work with on training times and even payment options.
