WE’RE PROFESSIONAL - With Positive Approach you have access to some of the most experienced trainers in the area.

Individuals must meet strict experience criteria and pass a lengthy proctored exam to achieve this prestigious title. Overall we have 18 knowledgeable, skilled, and friendly dog lovers on staff. Our 6,000 square foot facility provides your dog with large, matted training areas and an expansive indoor / outdoor play area.
WE’RE CONVENIENT - Our dog training classes are available Monday through Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. If you miss a class due to illness or vacation it is easy to make it up on a different night! We're located in Tacoma , near Federal Way and Puyallup.
WE'RE POSITIVE! - Our dog and puppy training classes give you great results using the easiest most up to date dog training methods. We never use choke chains, pinch collars, or any physical correction or punishment on our dogs or puppies. We treat all of our dog and puppy visitors as if they were our own.

Puppy Workshops This comprehensive two-hour puppy workshop is your ticket to a bomb-proof puppy! It covers common problems such as housebreaking, mouthing (puppy biting), destructive behavior, attention getting techniques and how to control the hyper or rowdy puppy. This workshop will also include one of the most vital beginning steps for your puppy.... socialization! Your pup will get the opportunity to play and interact with other puppies during the course of the workshop while we give a running dialog on each puppy's behavior.
