Let's face it.  Everyone's idea of a perfect dog is different.

For some, showing their dog on the conformation circuit is the ultimate goal.
For others, they just want a dog that won't steal the Thanksgiving turkey while
the holiday guests are arriving.

At Pawsitive Steps, we want you to have a dog that YOU want to live with.
Our classes are geared towards everyday pet owner who wants to have a
do-anything dog who will lovingly respond to ALL members of your household,
each and every time.

Our philosophy is that good dog training begins with good human training.
Yes, you read this correctly!  Our classes should actually be called HUMAN TRAINING
courses, because that is what we strive to do: TRAIN HUMANS...

Sure, we could take and train your dogs for you.
But after two weeks, your dog would end up right where you started, leaving
you to curse our good name to anyone who would listen...

Unless your dog knows what YOU expect from them on a continual bases, there will
always be a disconnect between what YOU want and what they WILL do.
If the humans learn to be fair and consistent, there is no room left for guessing the dogs
part!

Pawsitive Steps staff members look at each dog as an individual.
We recognize that often, methods that work for some don't always work well for others.
Using consistent methods that make sense to the dog, we teach humans how to more
effectively communicate with their animal.  We are proud to assist in bridging the gap
between what you may THINK you are saying to your dog and what they are ACTUALLY
hearing.  Our goal is to create joy and life-long relationships between humans and their dogs.

Whether you are interested in a seminar, group classes, private lessions, or a private
consultation, our staff is ready to assist you and your four-legged pal. 

We look forward to working with you and your faithful companion!
