Think Pawsitively - Dog Behavior and Certified Dog Trainer - Missoula, MT

Verified Member since Dec 2021 Verified checkmark

I offer in-home or remote consultation & training. Through 'one-on-one coaching' or 'Homeschool training.'

My mission is to help you learn how to understand your pet's behavior so you both have a happier, stress-free relationship. With a long history in education & psychology, I take a unique approach to training. I avoid focusing on your pets' mistakes and punishing them for their wrong choices. This leaves a dog puzzled and stressed as to what the correct behavior is that you want - that’s no fun for you or your pet.

With my constructionist approach, your training will be easier, you will get positive results, and you will build a trusting relationship with your pet. This approach to training creates a pet who has fun and is enthusiastic about the training process.

My approach to training produces happy learners!!

I can't wait to help you reach your pet’s maximum potential and happiness in life.
