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 are small in size, (4 per class), and held at our private training center.  We offer both week-day evenings and weekend morning classes. Private lessons are available 6 days a week (Monday-Saturday) and we have flexible scheduling 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).
