Positive Pets Dog Training

"We’re so pleased with the training we’ve received so far for our dog Petunia! We’re doing the Transformation Academy and working towards having her become a therapy dog. We passed the AKC Canine Good Citizen test today which is the first step towards therapy certification. Devin and his team have far exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend their services."

"Barrett (my German shepherd pup) and I just finished and graduated from a 5 week training course. We used to have to use the prong collar. We are done with that (yay). Giovanni was our trainer and he was amazing. So patient with us and helped me figure out other ways to do things when needed. I am so glad that I found Positive Pets Dog Training. I cannot recommend positive pets dog training enough! It is so worth the money that we invest in our pup family. Next up distraction class then advanced. It amazed me every time I walked in for my training, and a class was waiting to be let in, how behaved all of the dogs were. I have been to a couple different training facilities with my pup and this one is the best! Thanks Giovanni for all your help and patience!"

"We loved our private training with Devin! I highly recommend going to the orientation to get a feel for which program fits your needs and to ask all your questions. We have reactivity issues to address, and speaking with Devin gave me a lot of confidence in his expertise and how Positive Pets could work with us, especially with learning how to build confidence and trust between me and my dog and then maintaining progress and accountability once private training was finished. In our 6 training sessions, we addressed a lot topics. Devin gave us new tools, we’d put those lessons into practice at home, and come back for feedback and new concepts. A lot of the time was spent not just working my dog but teaching me the how and why behind his behavior and how to work with it. The undivided attention made a significant difference in how we progressed - with the personalized guidance, I have a lot more confidence in handling my dog, and I've definitely seen improvements in his behavior. Ultimately, I’m most excited to have the support system in place that comes after - getting some training reps in with the distraction class, followed by advanced off leash and specialty classes. I highly recommend Positive Pets to anyone looking for a professional, personalized training experience and the opportunity for long term community. Thank you Devin and team, for such a great experience!"

"There is no way I can say enough great things about Positive Pets. We have been training with them since 2015 and have had three Labrador retrievers complete their Stay & Train program and complete many of their speciality classes. It is not easy having 3 exuberant Labs in your home and it took top notch training to make them the amazing dogs they are today. Through their training, all three dogs are members of The Go Team Therapy, Crisis & Airport Dogs. If you are interested in your dog becoming part of the therapy dog world, Positive Pets is a great place to begin. We have worked with some outstanding trainers who all make you feel like you are part of a big dog family! We have been working with head trainer Devin since day one and know we can count on him and any of the other terrific trainers at any time for help or advice. Positive Pets also has a great office staff. Office manager Angie always goes the extra mile with anything you need or to answer any questions. I have recommend many of our friends to take their dogs to Positive Pets over the years and never has anyone been disappointed."

"My husband and I adopted a GSxBC puppy this past summer. We promptly enrolled her in the Puppy Preschool program at the Boise site. Shadow learned so much about her basic obedience and got wonderful socialization at their program. I was very impressed with the guidance we were able to receive. Since starting class at just the orientation we were able to integrate recommendations that made a huge difference with her potty training, and in house behavior. Over the 6 weeks Shadow learned her basic commands, and loves to practice them. I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a puppy! We will for sure be utilizing their program again, and as Shadow grows up will be looking into other programs for her like private training just to advance her knowledge and skills. Thank you so much to Positive Pets for helping us get such a strong foundation started with our baby girl!"
