About Our Approach
At Positive Pets Dog Training, we go beyond the ordinary with our unique philosophy. Guided by 29 core principles, our approach sets us apart as a trusted and effective resource for transforming dogs and empowering their owners.

What Sets Us Apart
At Positive Pets, we stand out by focusing on timeless principles of dog training rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. These principles are foundational concepts that go beyond individual techniques, providing the guiding truths that drive our success and adaptability in training every dog and owner.

Principles Defined
At Positive Pets, principles are the foundational guidelines that shape the art of dog training. They transcend specific methods or techniques, serving as universal truths that inform and enhance every interaction with our canine companions.

Our Training Style
At Positive Pets, our training style is built on a foundation of relationships, principles, and results. We don’t rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we recognize the unique needs of every dog and owner, tailoring our methods to create personalized, effective training solutions.

Variety of Methods
At Positive Pets, we know that every dog is as unique as their owner. That’s why we use a diverse array of training methods to tackle a wide range of challenges and goals. Our approach isn’t “one size fits all”—it’s “the right method for the right challenge.”

Empowering Dog Owners
At Positive Pets, we take a coaching approach to our lessons, focusing on empowering you as a dog owner. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to confidently handle challenges and reinforce training, even when we’re not by your side.
Key Knowledge Areas
At Positive Pets, success in dog training hinges on understanding two essential aspects:
What the Dog Is
This involves understanding the dog’s innate characteristics, such as breed-specific traits, genetic makeup, and intended purpose. For example, distinguishing between show line and working line dogs helps us tailor our training approach.
Who the Dog Is
Recognizing the unique personality, preferences, and motivations of each individual dog. By identifying their quirks and behavioral triggers, we can create a personalized and effective training plan.
This dual focus ensures a comprehensive understanding of your dog, leading to better results and stronger connections.

The Foundation of Success: Principle-Based Dog Training
At Positive Pets, our training is rooted in time-tested principles that guide every interaction and decision. Here are some examples of the principles we live by:
a) The Two-Question Principle
To address behavioral issues, we ask two crucial questions: What does the dog hope to gain from this behavior? And what behavior do we want to replace it with?
b) The Green Light Principle
When teaching complex skills, such as a trained retrieve, we look for “green lights” to signal the dog is ready to progress to the next step.
c) The Don’t Go to Bed Angry Principle
We ensure training sessions always end on a positive note, avoiding frustration for both the dog and the owner.
d) The When > Then Principle
We teach dogs that specific actions lead to predictable outcomes, fostering clarity and consistency.
e) The Do Less First Principle
Our training starts with simplicity, gradually adding complexity as the dog gains confidence and understanding.
f) Connection Before Concepts
In situations where a dog is stressed or unresponsive, we prioritize building trust and connection before introducing advanced training.
g) Making It Easy for the Dog
We focus on creating environments that encourage desirable behaviors and make it challenging for dogs to choose the wrong ones.
These principles form the cornerstone of successful, harmonious relationships between dogs and their owners. At Positive Pets, our goal is to not only train dogs but to empower you with the tools and knowledge needed to build a lasting bond with your furry family member.
