A Pawsitive Approach Training

A Pawsitive Approach Training We specialize in medical alert service dogs for Gluten detection, Tree Nut Detection,Diabetes
& PTSD. I am a current AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.

I am a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I am currently studying to obtain my Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed. My philosophy on dog training is simple: Reward the dog for doing what is good, and correct them for doing wrong. Consistency, routine and schedule are the three best friends you can have while training your puppy or dog. I plan to teach the A

KC STAR Puppy class to each student via private lessons. I will come to your house or meet you in your favorite dog park so that you and your dog are comfortable with their surroundings.

Did you know our trainers don’t just train service dogs… we live the life too? 👀🐾
Here are the real MVPs behind the scenes — the dogs who shape our standards, teach us daily, and remind us why this work matters.

🐾 Milo is Cathy’s full‑time diabetic alert and medical response partner — and truly the heartbeat of our program. For over four years, he’s been catching diabetic changes, oxygen drops, and migraines with incredible accuracy. As Cathy’s health needs have shifted, Milo has adapted right along with her. His intuition and reliability set the bar for every dog we raise.

💛 Lucy may be retired from service dog work, but she definitely didn’t retire from having a purpose. She’s thriving in her therapy‑dog era — comforting, visiting, and spreading joy everywhere she goes. Her gentle presence and steady temperament make her a natural. Once a working dog, always a working dog… even if the schedule is a little softer now.

🌱 Oklahoma’s Amazing Grace is one of our current prospects, and she’s already showing the emotional intelligence and thoughtful nature we look for in future medical alert and response dogs. She’s got that “old soul in a puppy body” vibe that makes trainers very excited.

🍯 Lakeshore’s Lovely Hannah is another bright young prospect in our pipeline. Confident, curious, and wonderfully resilient, she walks into new environments like she’s been there her whole life. We can’t wait to see how her temperament unfolds as she matures.

These dogs aren’t just part of our team — they’re partners, teachers, and daily reminders of why we pour our hearts into this work. They influence our training philosophy, our compassion, and the standards we hold for every dog who comes through our program.

💬 If you were a dog, which role would you choose — full‑time worker, eager trainee, or cozy retired pro with a therapy‑dog side gig?
