Positive Foundation Dog Training Relationships are built between dog and owner! Member of the IAABC & APDT. Insured.

Positive Foundation Dog Training uses positive reinforcement, which is scientifically proven the most effective way to turn behaviors that are unacceptable to a dog owner into acceptable behaviors. In 2014 I became a certified dog obedience trainer, focusing on training former and current shelter dogs and dogs that have behavior issues that the owners do not know how to fix. I hope to help dog ow

ners understand dog language so that they may better communicate to their dogs what they want and what is expected of them. I use LIMA Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive games and exercises so the whole family will play a part in helping the dog become more comfortable in the home and know what is expected of her. https://pnutsky.wixsite.com/positive-foundation

This is one of the many ways you could start teaching your dog recall, which is probably one of the most important behaviors you could teach your dog! Why? Because it could save her life!

I volunteer at an animal rescue, and over the past years several dogs have been returned because of growling or biting at family members. If you train your dog from the very start, whether it be a rescue or from a breeder, training begins on day one. If you have the history that this dog may be anxious or unsure of children, then heed the warnings and be very careful if you are adopting this dog. It's not a joke and if you don't take the advice of the people who know this dog, or talk to a trainer to help you from day one, you may be putting not only your children's lives in danger, but if that dog nips or bites someone, more than likely it will be euthanized because the liability is way too high for the rescue to adopt this dog out.

A high level obedience training does not have to involve adversives. This is proven so many times I'm not sure why people need to use shock collar, prong collars, and corrections.

Remember, you slowly work up to these exercises, it's not like your dog will lay there and accept all the touches at first. It can be very strange to them, but if you do it in one second increments they will feel how relaxing it is, and it will build a wonderful bond between you also!

I like sharing videos where basic behaviors are taught in an easy, straightforward way. If you work a few minutes every day with your puppy or dog, the reward is a trusting, loveable, social, calm and confident companion!

My Story

Welcome to Positive Foundation Dog Training! I am a certified and insured dog obedience trainer, focusing on puppies as well as adult dogs that have behavior issues that the owners do not know how to fix. I hope to help dog owners understand dog language, body language and dog psychology so that they may better communicate to their dogs what they want and what is expected of them. I will use positive reinforcement exercises so the whole family will play a part in helping the dog become more comfortable in the home and know what is expected of her.
