I initially hired a different trainer/company for my puppy and then moved to Pawsitive, with Abbey. Best decision ever! Each session has been extremely valuable. The techniques are working, and I love the level of detail and explanation for everything taught. Also, I was very nervous to send my girl to puppy camp, but I am so happy I did! Great socializing skills and lots of fun with the other pups. Camille was wondeful! I highly recommend Pawsitive! read more

Excellent trainers. Our trainer Abby was very personable and well versed in techniques to improve our Frenchies behavior issues.

My dog and I started working with Ali from Pawsitive Futures. Even after one lesson I'm seeing improvement with my dog's leash reactivity. We met a local park that allowed us to encounter real life situations. I'm thrilled with the suggestions Ali made and I'm sure with a few more lessons it will be much more enjoyable for me - and my dog - to take walks together. read more

Recently started training with Camille for my 6 month old puppy Wade and it has been amazing. We did a board and train to get a jumpstart and it was the best experience for him- getting to hang out with other puppies and learn not only from his training but from being around them was amazing. I can already see nothing but positive changes in him. Excited to continue working with Camille(who has made this so easy and made me feel nothing but comfortable throughout this whole process)to make him his best. 10 out of 10. read more

Camille is a pro! She is highly knowledgeable in dog behavior, reward methods, and how to handle Just about any situation. We've done leash training, puppy board and train, and resource guarding remediation. Thanks so much for everything, Camille! read more

Camille is very knowledgable and easy to talk to. I learned a lot about my dog and how to best move forward with him as we navigate his adolescence! Highly recommend! read more

Camille is FANTASTIC! Our boys love her and respond SO well to her training methods! SO glad we found Pawsitive Futures! Highly recommend!

We had a great experience with our initial trainer, Abbey. However, when she moved away we were "connected" to Chelsea...but she never responded after multiple outreaches. This really left us in a pinch and was disappointing since we really wanted to continue the training. read more

Abbey and Ali are awesome for dog's days out and we would highly recommend. Our rescues have definitely improved as a result.

Outstanding trainer and my dog loves her! One lesson and he's even sitting for me. I think he likes to show off Camille is our trainers name Marsha Moorer read more

Abbey is a fantastic trainer who has high knowledge and understanding of dogs. She understood the issues we were having and explained the reasons for them. She provided a wide range of tools to deal with the issues. Abbey not only coaches your pup but you, the owner, as well. I have found a huge difference in my pup's behavior - and mine! I am delighted to have found Abbey and highly recommend her. read more

Abbey worked with our 2 year old highly anxious adopted SPOO, with leash walking. After five sessions, Molly's progress has been remarkable - her lunging and barking upon seeing a dog on the walk or park, has gone drastically. She is more confident, friendly and willing to walk. Huge thanks to Abbey! Abbey was very patient and kind with Molly and us, is very knowledgeable and gave us right tools to practice. She always followed up with summary of the session, and additional reference materials. Molly now loves Abbey after being scare of her the first time!!! We plan to continue with additional lessons and trainings with Abbey to help Molly enjoy long walks with us. read more

I have only worked with Livvy. She is GREAT !!! Very patient with owners who are frustrated with difficult dogs. Started training in 2 puppy classes, which was super helpful. Her in home sessions and the board and train have been just as awesome! Highly recommend. read more

Maddie's course Happy Campers has only gone through 1 of 5 weeks and I have already leaned more than expected. The course is taught so well. Maddie is so clear with her instructions and gives the best feedback. read more

We started working with Pawsitive Futures - Chelsea, specifically - in June 2017 when our dog Bao was around 8 months old. We received Chelsea's contact information from our vet in Brookhaven. Since then, Chelsea has worked closely with us and our dog, Bao, through various private lessons and board and trains. It's been an incredible adventure together as we continue to shape Bao into a more well-mannered pup. Bao is part-Australian Shepherd and part-poodle, and is known for being very goofy. He loves people, other dogs and new places. When we first started working with Chelsea, Bao loved to greet people by jumping up on them, barking at them, and using his mouth/teeth to communicate. Chelsea introduced the clicker to us and showed us through a variety of strategies and practices how to reward good behavior and ignore bad behavior. Through various private lessons and board and trains, Chelsea worked diligently with Bao on the following: walking on a leash without pulling; greeting new people without jumping and barking; reducing frustration/managing impulse control; learning new tricks to engage the mind; training to go to/stay in a crate happily; among other critical lessons. In fact, we have found that board and train sessions are where Bao makes the most progress. We work with Chelsea in order to determine the lessons that we want Bao to focus on the most during the intensive time. After each board and train, Chelsea comes to our house for follow-up sessions to share best practices and to ensure that we know how to maintain/encourage the learned behavior. Chelsea is very responsive, hardworking and passionate about shaping pups into well-mannered dogs. It was so critical for me and my husband to find someone who could help to train our dog without taking away his goofy personality. Chelsea has done just that! Pawsitive Futures is an incredible training organization and we highly recommend to others! read more

Pawsitive Futures and its owner/trainer are exceptionally professional and knowledgable. Chelsea gave private lessons at our home for our two Tibetan Terrier pups (beginning when they were 6 and 8mos. old). In dealing with two pups at once in our home and yard, she addressed behaviors we were concerned about with positive training exercises, and gave us insight into dog psychology underlying both their actions and her methodology. We worked on their interaction with each other (aggressive puppy-play), getting them to come when called (especially in emergency situations when escape our yard), appropriate response to visitors/strangers, and response to basic "commands". She fielded any and every question we had as we dealt puppy issues such as chewing on furniture and barking. Her positive approach to developing good manners became a mindset for us. Her email recaps of each session have become permanent pages in our notebook of methodology handouts she has given us. We've worked hard and Chelsea has been wonderful! We know we have an ongoing resource whom we trust for questions as they arise. Plus, her FaceBook page and posts regularly provide useful and timely tips! read more

We have finished 5 individual sessions with Chelsea and our husky-mix, Grayson. We quickly realized the training wasn't really for Grayson - it was training for us! Chelsea taught us how to read a dog's physical signs of stress and anxiety. Due to stress and anxiety, Gray was destructive in the house during the workday and difficult to control on walks. Chelsea helped us understand how we could create a calm, safe environment for Gray during the workday, as well as how to provide outlets to release his energy, including creative feeding, clicker training, and walks. We are thankful for Chelsea's help and working to improve our awareness and understanding of our three dogs. Thanks, Chelsea, we look forward to continuing our training! read more
