Imagine Life With a Well-Behaved Dog..

Enjoy walks without pulling, welcome guests without jumping, and have a dog that responds with confidence.

At PAWSitively Obedient, we help dogs and their people build the skills needed for everyday success. Whether you’re raising a new puppy, working through behavior challenges, or looking to strengthen your relationship with your dog, our training programs are designed to meet you where you are.

Using positive reinforcement and practical, real-world training, we focus on teaching dogs what to do rather than simply correcting unwanted behaviors. The result is a happier, more confident dog and a stronger partnership between you and your canine companion.

We offer a variety of training options, including:

• Group Classes for learning alongside other dogs and handlers
• Day Training for busy owners who want professional training support during the day
• Private Training for personalized coaching and customized solutions

Your well-behaved dog is closer than you think. Explore our training programs and get started today.

Not sure which option is right for you? We’re happy to help guide you toward the program that best fits your goals. Sign up for a training consultation to meet with us. This allows us to meet you, your dog, and discuss your training goals as well as your dog’s individual needs. From there, we can make recommendations and set you up with a customized training program.

Testimonials

“My fiancé and I adopted Tilly earlier this year. Our first session was completely remote, due to Covid, with Janice. She exemplified professionalism and a sound knowledge base. We honestly felt that nothing was lost having to join remotely. We then continued our training with various instructors at the facility in Pembroke. We would notice the training paying dividends almost immediately. We have recommended PAWSitively Obedient to our friends and will continue to do so. They are great!”

Tim Pilczak

“Karen has been working with our puppy Finnegan for 7 weeks and the results have been amazing. She is excellent at explaining the reasons behind certain behaviors and then detailing what we need to do to either shape or redirect the actions. I cannot say enough good things about Karen- she is an absolute joy to work with. Her love for dogs is evident and her behavioral knowledge and training methods are unmatched.”

Traci Lydon

“I cannot speak more highly of this training program! My Great Dane, Marty, took training classes with Janice. I remember the first class, I had many questions about ways to aid in walking – Marty is my fourth Dane and I had always used choke chains in training. It wasn’t easy but I was patient, followed all of Janice’s tips and tricks and now, at 9 months old and 150 pounds, Marty is only walked on a regular dog collar and is a perfect gentleman! He sits and waits for other dogs to walk by him on the sidewalk – the manners he learned in class amaze me. I am so proud of Marty, and nothing is better than a well-mannered dog. Follow the training, do the homework… I promise your hard work will pay off!”

Laura Strong

“Our dog Ella is quirky, smart and eager to learn and please but she can also be a little stubborn. She presented a few challenges along the way. The trainers at PAWSitively Obedient were there with us at every step and were always ready to offer another approach or idea to help us. We now have a wonderful and loving bond with Ella and the tools to work with her in any situation. We are constantly complimented on 17 month old Ella’s behavior everywhere she goes. We can’t thank PAWSitively Obedient enough!”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about PAWSitively Obedient dog training. Brodey and I have been training here since September of 2022 and we have always felt welcomed and supported by this wonderful team. They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their training class sessions are fun, engaging, and filled with encouragement. Bordey absolutely loves and looks forward to going to his classes!! He has completed numerous classes over this time. He has earned his AKC Titles and completed his AKC Canine Good Citizen. Brodey has just turned 4 years old and we couldn’t be happier with his training and accomplishments!” Geri, Joe, and Brodey
