Use of Positive Reinforcement Training<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Small Class Sizes<\/h2>\n

Classes are small in size, (4 per class), and held at our private training center.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

We Can Come to You<\/h2>\n

Private lessons are held at our training center, your home, or wherever need be to train your dog most effectively.<\/p>\n

Trainer Certification<\/h2>\n

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

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 \u2013 and that makes his owner happy as well[\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”#Obedience_Training” button_text=”Obedience Training” button_alignment=”center” module_id=”Obedience_Training” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_css_main_element=”min-width: 250px;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_button button_url=”#Private_Lessons” button_text=”Private Lessons” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_css_main_element=”min-width: 250px;” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.23.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
