Introduction: I founded the Pawsitive Companion in 2003 and practice positive, force-free training techniques based on clear communication, mutual trust and respect for your dog. I help your dog feel safe by meeting it where it is, building trust and working with it in a respectful manner. I have been successful in addressing many behavior issues such as excessive barking, leash pulling, jumping and lunging, reactivity, noise sensitivity and more... My reward is seeing people fall in love with their dogs again because those challenging behaviors have disappeared.
