Positive Approach is a welcoming community of dogs and their people.
Positive Approach is a local small business that has been in the dog training and daycare business for over 20 years. We are the #1 vet-referred training center in the Tacoma area and pride ourselves on providing a safe, well-staffed daycare floor. We invite you to come down with your furry kid and see the Positive Approach difference.
Why Board at Positive Approach?

- Dogs are fed separately, in their own suite or kennel. We want them to feel comfortable while eating.
- We have the same high quality security system as the Pierce County Humane Society and the Tacoma School District.
- We clean kennel runs all day long, every day.
- If your dog prefers, weather permitting, we take kennel run dogs outside for “potty” breaks during the day.
- Our suites and kennels have partitions. (Even the friendliest dogs can fence fight when not visually separated from their neighbors.) We want “our” dogs to feel safe.
- All boarding areas are climate controlled.
- All kennel dogs require the following vaccinations: distemper, parvo, bordetella, and rabies.

Staff know the customers and dogs by name. They are so friendly and my dog, Otis, is always excited and happy to come.
Positive Approach is a home away from home for Bo. He loves to come and play with the other dogs and flirt with the staff. It provides such a peace of mind to know he is well taken care of by a great group of people!
Positive Approach does a great job watching and taking care of your pet. The staff is amazing, helpful and totally responsible.
