Pawsitively Polite Dog Obedience Training, LLC - Kansas City, MO
I'm CPDT-KA mobile dog trainer. I travel to the client's house. My business focuses mainly on training pet dogs to display appropriate manners, i.e., keeping "all four on the floor," walking with a loose leash and ignoring other dogs within close proximity, as well as teaching basic obedience, i.e., sit, lay down, stay, come, drop it, leave it, etc. I use only positive reinforcement (treats, affection, praise, toys) to teach and strengthen behaviors. I have not used, nor will I use, shock collars, prong/choke collars or other devices that can elicit pain to a dog.
