Positive Pups Dog Training

Positive Pup Dog Training LLC

is an institution dedicated to advancing canine behavior through evidence-based, force-free methodologies. Established in 2012 and led by Jean, a certified Animal Behavior College Force Free Trainer, Positive Pup harnesses the latest insights from learning theory, operant and classical conditioning, and cognitive science to foster effective communication between dogs and their owners.

Our curriculum is meticulously designed to cater to a broad spectrum of training needs—from foundational skills in private or group settings to advanced behavioral modification. Recognizing that canine behavior is complex and multifaceted, our programs emphasize scientifically validated protocols for addressing fear, aggression, and other challenging behaviors. Notably, our co-developed reactive dog training module employs data-driven strategies to enhance positive outcomes for dogs that exhibit heightened sensitivity or aggression.

We maintain professional affiliations with leading organizations such as the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Fear Free Pets, and the Professional Pet Guild, which underscores our commitment to high standards and continuous professional development. Our previous venture, Sit Stay Swim, incorporated warm water hydrotherapy to combine physical conditioning with behavioral therapy—an approach that further informed our current practices by integrating rehabilitative and fitness principles.

Furthermore, our dedication extends beyond training into community engagement and rescue initiatives. Drawing on over a decade of experience in the proper placement and integration of canines from diverse backgrounds, Positive Pup Dog Training LLC applies a holistic, science-based approach to enhance canine wellbeing, ensuring that each training plan is as compassionate as it is rigorously grounded in research.
