The objective of POSITIVE DOG is to offer a gratifying experience for both people and dogs while achieving desired training goals. This is accomplished by using positive reinforcement methods based on proven scientific principles. The approach utilizes a combination of three main elements: (1) training by reinforcing appropriate behaviors, (2) management to prevent the repetition of inappropriate behaviors, and (3) relationship building by making you the center of activities and desired resources in your dog’s life.

A key component in all successful interactions with our canine companions is the ability to establish clear and consistent channels of communication.

Services are offered throughout the D.C. metropolitan area and include in-home obedience training and behavior modification consultations for all ages and all breeds of dogs.
