Pawsitive Results Dog Training uses positive methods that have proven successful training dolphins and whales, movie dogs, and numerous family pets just like yours. 

I have taught owners just like you how to stop their dogs from jumping, barking, biting, piddling, counter-surfing, begging, digging, chasing, and destroying their house when you leave.  Positive methods are not permissive, however.  Very quickly I give you the ways to teach the dog that he must always comply with your cues, not just when he wants to.

If you have multiple pets, I will work with them individually and then collectively to achieve a balance in the group.  I can come with you to help you choose a puppy or dog best suited to your family.

With my background in teaching, I work effectively with children, teaching them how to train dogs in a fun but successful manner. For busy families training in your home accommodates your schedule.  It allows you to focus on YOUR particular concerns one-on-one with your instructor.

Training Tip: Getting Your Dog to Come – Play a Game

Get a treat in your hand and have another family member hold your puppy facing you about 4 feet away.

Say the dog’s name in a cheerful, upbeat voice and when he looks at you, say, “Come” in a pleasant voice and wave the treat at him. Praise him all the way to you and give him the treat once he’s come to you AND you have your hand on his collar.

Now have the other family member call him back to them the same way and give another treat.

Make sure you practice this inside 50 times getting a little farther apart each time. Then you can try it outside in a safe, fenced area with the dog dragging a long leash so you can get to him if you must.

Be sure to start closer together and gradually increase the distance when you move outside where there are more distractions.


This is just one in a series of ways to increase your dog’s willingness to come to you.  I can show you how this works in your home with your family.
