Sarah was amazing! She came to our home for a 1-on-1 session and helped us so much. We were struggling to understand why our dog Lola was barking and lunging toward our toddler when she wasn’t even close to her, and how to help everyone feel safe, and other challenging behaviors. Sarah helped me understand why Lola…

Sarah, with Get Pawsitive was really amazing with our new rescue dog. First she responded to a message with interest in training and called twice to make sure I received her message. She spent several minutes explaining her approach to training with rationale. I set up an in-person assessment session where she met…

Sarah really helped our dog, Gus, become a more confident dog and my husband and I become more confident owners. We now feel like we have the tools to keep supporting Gus in growing more and more successful everyday. She focuses on positive training to help support building a strong relationship with your pup, and we are so thankful. Would recommend

We took our new puppy to the preschool class and learned a ton from Patti! We loved that it was a safe, small class and how well Patti managed the puppy playtime (our dog was the smallest of the group!); great socialization. We feel more confident now and have so many resources to continue training.

Puppy training is no walk in the park, it’s serious business! But with Sarah she made sure we all had fun, learned a ton, and look forward to Kindergarten!

I cannot say enough good things about trainer Patti. She has helped my puppy and I gain a ton of confidence and skills. We have taken privates and group classes with Patti and both have helped both of us immensely. I would definitely recommend Patti and Get pawsitive to other dog and puppy owners.

We covered a lot of new ground above what you will find in tier 1&2 Obedience class. Sara is such a patient and kind trainer. My Cattle dog gets anxious in some situations and I am hoping the skills we learned will help me help her. Thank you Sara!
