About Positive Energy Dog Training
What Sets Us Apart?
At Positive Energy Dog Training, we believe that training should feel natural, stress-free, and rewarding—for both you and your dog. That’s why we take a personalized, home-based approach, ensuring your dog learns in an environment that mirrors real life
.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience, we’ve worked with dogs of all temperaments, from eager-to-please puppies to those needing extra patience and guidance. Our refined techniques focus on building trust, confidence, and clear communication, so every dog we train enjoys a happier, more fulfilling life.
Unlike large training facilities, we intentionally keep our program small-scale and home-based. This means your dog learns in a comfortable, real-world setting, making the transition back home smooth and stress-free. By working with only a few dogs at a time, we can tailor our methods to your dog’s unique needs, prioritizing both their mental and emotional well-being.
We also believe that training is most successful when owners are involved. That’s why we provide video updates throughout the process and include one in-person lesson each week of training, allowing you to learn alongside your dog. These sessions help us fine-tune techniques in real time, ensuring you feel confident continuing their training at home.
At Positive Energy Dog Training, we’re more than just trainers—we’re your partners in creating a well-mannered, happy dog for life.
About our founder
My journey into dog training started with one dog who changed everything. In 2008, at 19 years old, I purchased a Rottweiler puppy. He grew quickly, and I realized that he was going to be more than I could handle, so we attended group classes at a pet store. While Porter excelled at learning all of his commands and tricks, these classes did not address the behavioral problems that were starting to show up.
Determined to help Porter beyond just tricks and commands, I dove into research, learning everything I could about dogs' emotional and psychological needs. This enabled me to raise a dog who became an ambassador for his breed. Through this journey, I discovered that I had a natural ability to understand dogs on their level and help others do the same.
Years later, I began working at a training facility, learning new tools and techniques and honing my skills. By 2020, I decided to start my own training business—one that focuses on building trust, understanding, and lifelong bonds between dogs and their families.
