Testimonials
We cant recommend Janessa enough! She has helped us with so many things such as: separation anxiety, kennel training, place training, and loose leash. We are so thankful for everything we have learned so we can help our puppy. She is amazing at not only training the dog but training the owners to train their dog successfully themselves. The use of clicker / positive reinforcement training was a huge success with us and we will continue to implement it in all training going forward. We are so happy we made the decision to work with Pawsitive Peaks and are forever believers in positive reinforcement training. Thanks Janessa!!
