Positive Partnership Private Dog Training - Evanston, IL

Member since Feb 2020

The knowledge & experience I gained while running my dog walking/pet sitting business, led me to explore training as the next leg of my incredible journey with dogs! I focus on strengthening & improving the dog/human relationship-by utilizing science-based, compassionate training methods. As the owner of Positive Partnership Training, I see the training process as one of teamwork-in which both the dogs & their guardians are learning & having fun. My role is to teach clients how they can motivate their dog(s) to perform & repeat the behaviors they find desirable-in the clearest & kindest ways possible. Please contact and book me through Petworks. Have an amazing day!
