The Pawsitive Paw
From unconscious patterns to conscious partnership.
Partnership with ourselves. Partnership with our dogs. Partnership with the lives we intentionally choose to create.
We believe meaningful change begins with awareness and understanding. The patterns we develop, the experiences that shape us, and the ways we respond to the world influence how we show up in our relationships. When we become curious about these patterns, we create an opportunity to move beyond autopilot and begin making more intentional choices.
Our relationship with our dogs gives us a powerful opportunity to practice awareness, communication, emotional regulation, boundaries, consistency, and trust. It invites us to look beyond the surface, understand what is happening beneath the behavior, and become more intentional in how we show up.
Through this process, we can develop healthier relationships with ourselves and our dogs while creating a foundation for a more conscious and fulfilling life.
Awareness creates the opportunity for choice. Choice creates the opportunity for change.

Obedience Training
Obedience training allows us to engage our dogs in many different settings. Not only does it shape and reinforce the behaviors we want, but it is also the foundation upon building a strong and respectful relationship between you and your dog. I teach dog owners how to layer in obedience to their lifestyle in order to achieve a calmer state of mind for their dog.
Behavioral Modification
Packages are customized to your dog's unique personality, genetics, and lifestyle. Services include but are not limited to: muzzle conditioning, reactivity, anxiety, mild aggression, management, and more.
These packages are an in-depth look into behavior and what we can do to successfully modify and manage our dogs safely with a satisfying life.
Socialization
Are you looking for a way for your dog to learn how to innd exist with other dogs? Through positive socialization we offer dogs opportunities to engage with other dogs in appropriate and neutral interactions.
It is important to establish an environment for dogs to learn to play safely and positively with one another, while respecting different breed play styles and age differences.
The Pawsitive Paw gives your dog the appropriate playmates to help engage others in a positive outlet. This helps with energy, confidence, and even manners!
Customized Board & Train Programs
Customized programs for all breeds and ages for owners who are looking to start off on the right foot or get their dog’s current foundational basics on par. This program is not for dogs struggling with any sort of behavioral challenges such as reactivity, anxiety or aggression. Please let us know and we can tailor the right program for your dog if they struggle with behavioral challenges🐾
Your dog will learn basic manners:

This program is for dogs over 6 months of age with no major behavioral issues & does not cover recall or off-leash manners. The program will conclude with a two hour session where we transfer all the knowledge & skills to you in order to ensure your success back home together.
Structured Walks + Hikes
Structured walks and hikes are an excellent option for clients looking for their dog to get a physical and mental activity for the day. This allows them to engage in different environments, while learning appropriate leash behavior.
