Positive Dogs
Tired Of Your Dog Ignoring You?
You're yelling "COME back here!" as he's racing down the street, you're afraid that he may get hit by a car and wondering what the neighbours think of you. It's both scary and embarrassing; we've all been there. Or he's jumping up on people, stealing things off the counter and not laying down, no matter what you say.
Often our dogs are not stubborn or disobedient, they just don't understand commands as well as we think they do. This is where we can help Our private training sessions are designed to get your dog and your family on the same page, so that he will happily respond to you.
