"Dan is wonderful! All of the major issues we were having at home were resolved within 4 sessions. And what was even more satisfying was that Dan gave us the clear guidance, but we were the ones actually teaching our dog so we earned her respect along the way. We can honestly say within our household environment, we have the dog we dreamed of. We are planning to do the day program next to work on her dog social skills so we can have the dog we dream of outside the home too! Wish we would’ve found Dan sooner."

"We are a recent new puppy family. Having never had a puppy before we were overwhelmed and after seeing Pawsitive and Dan highly recommended on Facebook we decided to reach out. Within the first visit we had already see a great improvement in Ace’s behavior as we were given excellent tips on crate and obedience training. The following two sessions were just as informative and continued to build upon what Dan had begun showing us. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Dan."

"Dan was incredible. He listened to our concerns with our dog and really taught us as owners how to correctly communicate with our pup! Dan allowed and trusted us to continue the work each week to be ready for our next session and we really feel like we already have a completely different dog who is learning correct manners when greeting people, learning space claiming areas in our home, how to properly walk on his leash but all stemming from our knowledge of how to communicate with our dog. Dan has been an incredible teacher and our dog really took to him, his energy and his approach. We hope to work with Dan again in the future on furthering our dogs learnings (and ours) and we’d highly recommend Dan! Thank you Dan for providing us the right tools to teach our dog the behaviors we want, to be able to trust him again, and release our anxiety."

"Our girl Phoebe just turned a year old. What we initially chalked up to "normal" puppy ... well ... wasn't. She was highly reactive to other dogs – think screaming, not barking. It was fear, not aggression, but her stress was off the charts. Phoebe couldn’t fully enjoy or experience the outdoor world, because if we ran into another dog, all bets were off. We simply didn’t have the tools to get her back down. We tried in-home training, but it just wasn’t enough. We needed more intensive, serious support. Thankfully, we found Dan Lee and Pawsitive Reinforcement. Phoebe entered Dan’s 365 program and lived and trained with him for six weeks. The two individuals who really needed to be trained – Phoebe's humans – were also there every week, working with Dan and Phoebe. Now Phoebe sticks right by our sides on a walk on a loose leash. More – in what frankly is a miracle to us – she can walk right by a dog and remain calm. She kept every bit of her joie de vivre. I do not have the words to express our gratitude."

"We are so happy we went to Dan at Pawsitive Reinforcement Training. We decided to take our 1 year old lab for work on general manners and walking. Dan genuinely listened to what our concerns were and helped us understand how to issue corrections when rewards no longer work. I also think it's important to mention that Dan never made us feel bad or inadequate as pet owners. He always made it a point to acknowledge what we did well with our dog. He is very approachable and knowledgeable and we always felt like we can talk to him about anything. We signed up for the four session 1-on-1 training program and the difference week to week was incredible. Before working with Dan, I wasn't able to take my dog out in public without him pulling, barking at other dogs, and sniffing everything. Now he walks amazingly. Dan helped us take control of the walk. I can take him in public and he walks well on a loose leash. We have learned amazing tips on how to deal with distractions and just managing him overall. We still have our lovable, goofy dog; just with a lot more manners and better behavior. Thank you, Dan!"
