At Positive Paw Dog Training, the emphasis is on learning. Thankfully science tells us that learning best occurs with positive reinforcement methods. Through careful research and design, each of Positive Paw Dog Training options has been created using canine learning theory and knowledge about behaviourism. When we take the time to understand such things as Operant and Classical Conditioning, we can communicate effectively with our dogs without causing harm to the overall relationship.

Just as every dog learns at different speeds, so do we humans and Positive Paw wants to ensure that both dog and human client have been given the personalized opportunity to learn and implement the training from each session.
