Why Positive Approach Dog Training?

Use of Positive Reinforcement Training

We have helped you train literally thousands of dogs over the past twenty years. Our positive training methods produce great results without the need for choke chains, prong collars, shock collars or other types of physical correction and punishment. Research shows that dogs trained using these methods are generally more socially balanced and well adjusted, making them better family members.

Small Class Sizes

Classes and workshops are small in size, (4 per class), and held at our private training center. All of our training, including classes, is available 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday) and times are varied to accommodate your busy, changing schedule.

We Can Come to You

Private lessons are held at our training center, your home, or wherever need be to train your dog most effectively.

Trainer Certification

Positive Approach is the only dog training center that requires its lead trainers to have their Certified Professional Dog Trainers Certification (CCPDT).

Star began at PA in the puppy classes and we had additional support from Jeri Lynn in our home. Our Vet recommended PA. Star loves to be at PA, he jumps out of the car and races to the desk. Staff always greet him and he is so happy to be there – and that makes his owner happy as well
