Pawsitvely Enriching Pet Care - Private Dog Training - Muskegon, MI
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with extensive experience in pet behavior modification and service dog training, I firmly believe that our quality of life is enriched by the companionship of our pets. With a focus on fostering harmony between pet owners and their furry friends, I help compassionate pet parents transition from feelings of guilt to a serene, joyful partnership with their dogs. Whether your pup is under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, I tailor my training techniques using tools like clickers, harnesses, and positive reinforcement to ensure effective and humane learning.

Additionally, I offer mobile services, bringing my expertise directly to your home for convenient and personalized sessions.
