DPS is thee BEST! We've been with Dave and his team for almost 2 years and we couldn't have picked…read morea better dog walking service. Dave and everyone he hires is trustworthy, loves animals and is dependable... better yet, our puppy Reuben is SO happy when they come. They helped train our puppy since day 1 and have the easiest scheduling/cancellation app and are incredibly flexible/reachable (2 doctors with an "easy" schedule? Doesn't exist). Rain, shine, falling trees, snowpocalypse they're there. This past summer Reuben needed a joint fusion on one of his hind legs - basically it means he needed to keep his leg in a cast for 8 + weeks and no jumping/running/playful activities. You can imagine how heartbreaking it was to leave him at home - but DPS came twice a day, and each time made sure Reuben received his medications had light walks/enjoyed fresh air in the front yard. We couldn't have made it through those weeks without them!

I can agree with all reviews thus far. Dan is one outstanding dog trainer and what really is a…read morehuman trainer. My girlfriend, Blue, adopted a chihuahua mix puppy, who is named Oreo, in FL to be her service dog in February or March of 2025. Before I met her (long story short, pen pals for 13 years and just met in person in the spring), Oreo's training in my personal opinion and in Dan's first eyes was minimal but effective for what Blue needed Oreo to be as a young puppy on the go. Oreo was hotel trained as Blue travels for work as an ambassador and an artist; so potty pads, lots of toys and freedom, no structure or schedule, and so on. When Blue and Oreo moved in I was already in the middle of a stressful week of work (I work nights) and really had zero patients for all the pee and poop on every carpet/rug in the house. Was pulling out my hair and made having a relationship un wanting. We had one dog session with with another trainer in July who was very difficult to schedule but the one session Blue and Oreo went to (I was working) gave us an idea that there needs to be some structure. Day one with Dan opened up Blue's eyes as, she'll even admit it, she was being an enabler. He came to the house and told us the don't dos, watched our interactions, gave us some commands, both appreciated and constructive criticism, and really gave me peace of mind. I say me because Blue had a hard couple days not following his instructions after the training, and still does.... Day two a week later we went to his establishment and we went over walking and interactions with other dogs. Dan told Blue she was doing a much better job this week as it is/was very difficult for her to adapt to these new lifestyle changes. Oreo too was also much better behaved as I (we) have been tough on her. Day three Blue went by herself and they focused on walking as well as keeping Oreo stable when getting out of the car opposed to rushing out. I had had an opportunity for three weeks just myself and Oreo and I really honed in on commands and house rules. The training I received from Dan the two visits personally was worth every penny. She rarely potty's in the house and when she does it is on the pad we keep as a just in case. She responds well now to the spray bottle. Blue still has some work to do but work in progress.

We are so happy we went to Dan at Pawsitive Reinforcement Training. We decided to take our 1 year…read moreold lab for work on general manners and walking. Dan genuinely listened to what our concerns were and helped us understand how to issue corrections when rewards no longer work. I also think it's important to mention that Dan never made us feel bad or inadequate as pet owners. He always made it a point to acknowledge what we did well with our dog. He is very approachable and knowledgeable and we always felt like we can talk to him about anything. We signed up for the four session 1-on-1 training program and the difference week to week was incredible. Before working with Dan, I wasn't able to take my dog out in public without him pulling, barking at other dogs, and sniffing everything. Now he walks amazingly. Dan helped us take control of the walk. I can take him in public and he walks well on a loose leash. We have learned amazing tips on how to deal with distractions and just managing him overall. We still have our lovable, goofy dog; just with a lot more manners and better behavior. Thank you, Dan!
