Pawsitively Pups

Pawsitively Pups Pawsitively Pups offers puppy classes, obedience classes and nosework classes as well as private lessons. Dogs have been a lifelong passion for me.

We are reinforcement-based trainers and our goal is to make training fun for both you and your dog. I first began training in 1999. My instructor quickly became my friend and I trained with her for many years until she retired. She introduced me to the dog show world and I have been hooked ever since. I started competing in Obedience, Rally Obedience and Agility in 2000 and my dogs have earned a

combined total of 27 performance titles between both UKC & AKC. Jake, the first dog I trained, earned the highest agility title offered by UKC, United Grand Agility Champion. He also was a UKC All Star in 2004 being among the top 50 dogs in the nation competing in agility. My current dogs, Tango & Katie, are training in Agility, Obedience, Rally, Nosework and Barn Hunt. We have many adventures ahead of us.

Training isn’t just about what you do; it’s about learning what works for your dog. ❤️🐾
That’s why each week in the Fresh Start Workshop includes a Plan & Reflect Worksheet.

It helps you:
✨ Tailor your training plan to your dog’s unique needs
✨ Stay intentional about your goals
✨ Notice patterns, progress, and challenges
✨ Reflect on what actually worked (and what didn’t!)
✨ Adjust your strategy so every session gets smoother and more effective

Because the best training happens when you’re not just “doing the reps”… You’re learning from your dog and shaping sessions around them.

Plan with purpose. Reflect with honesty.
Watch your teamwork grow. 🌱💛🐕

A dog is never being stubborn. 🧠🐾

If a behavior falls apart, it’s a signal — their nervous system may be overloaded, they may feel unsafe, or their body might be hurting. What looks like “refusal” is really communication.

Resilience isn’t built by pushing through. It’s built by noticing when the system says “I can’t,” and creating the safety, support, and recovery that make learning possible. 💜

When we shift the story from “stubborn” to “struggling,” we stop blaming dogs and start meeting their needs — and that’s where welfare and true progress live.

👉 Next time your dog hesitates, ask: what support do they need right now?
