Our Pledge To You & Your Canine Friend

As A Pawsitive Coach & Paw Caregiver, I Promise:

• I will explain fully what I propose to do with our dog and why.  I will invite you to ask questions.

• I will always do my best to be friendly and approachable so that you feel comfortable and unafraid of judgement.

• Your dog's physical and emotional wellbeing will be my top priority when working out a behavior modification protocol or training program with you.

• I will encourage your dog to make the choice we want using non-threatening and rewarding motivators.

• I will work hard to keep your dog under threshold and keep him/her as stress free as possible.

• I will work hard to keep the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible for you as the owner, handler, and trainer of your own dog.

• I will treat your dog as an individual and our situations unique as one size does not fit all.

• I will never do anything with your dog that I wouldn't do with my own dogs.  I will consider your dog to be as much a vital part of your family as my dogs are mine.

• I will never bully your dog using threatening or violent behavior.

• I will never put a choke, prong, or e-collar around your dog's neck or recommend you do so.

• I will continue to follow up my education by attending workshops, seminar, conference, and courses so as to add to my 'training toolbox' and bring you the very best service I can.

• No dog will ever be ' just a dog' to me.
