Im so happy i discovered this doggy daycare! I just enrolled my golden retriever puppy into this place and we're very happy here! I was looking for a casual yet fun place to send my puppy to have her socialized with other dogs and this is certainly it. The staff are all very friendly and seem to be great with the dogs. The dogs are great with one another too. This daycare offers great hours at an affordable cost. I recommend Pawsitive Experience!

If you are on this website wondering if Paws-Itive Experience is the right place for Obedience Class or Private Training look no further. I, nor my dog, would be where we are today without the expertise, genuine concern, truthfulness, and kindness of the owner/trainer, Rob. I HIGHLY recommend Rob to you. He helped us accomplish our goals and learn so much about being a dog/handler team during the months we trained with him.
A stranger who saw me in a park struggling to walk my dog stopped me and recommended that I try training with Rob. I had attended training elsewhere and was very hesitant he could help us. Emailing Rob with my questions about his classes was one of the best decisions I have made since getting my dog two years ago. People now stop me when I am walking my dog and asked who trained him.
Of course, I am honored and proud to speak to them about Rob! My hope is that through this review I can now be that stranger to help you by referring you and your dog to train with Rob at Paws-Itive Experience.

I've used Paws-itive Experience for three of my dogs over the last 18 years. The owner, Rob, continues to uphold everything Paws-itive was built on! The group classes are informative and orderly, and nothing compares to the doggy daycare they operate. The facility is always clean. The dogs are managed well, and cared for as if they were the very own personal pets of the staff. It's always a good day when our goldendoodle comes home exhausted from playing all day after we work.

We love Paws-itive! Our dog Sonny has graduated from Obedience 1 and Therapy Dog classes and most recently became a certified Therapy Dog and also received "Good Canine Citizen" recognition. That is because the. classes are GREAT! Rob is patient and caring and supportive with his obedience training and Tracy is an AMAZING teacher for Therapy Dog training.
She is so knowledgeable and keenly picked up on so many cues of the dogs in class. Our family is looking forward to all the great adventures ahead with sharing Sonny with others on his pet therapy visits. Our youngest, Ella, graduated from puppy preschool and is getting ready for Obedience 1. We highly recommend Paws-itive for all your dog training needs.

I started obedience 2 and the experience is great. I love how Rob works with the pups. I'm getting a lot of insight on things that I wasn't aware to practice w my pup. My Golden pup Groot gets very excited when. we get there for training! I'm planning on going through all of the training classes offered and with Rob and his staff's help, I am hoping that Groot will become a therapy dog in the future. Thank you Rob for your help with my fur boy. Sheri L

My puppy just graduated from puppy preschool. Rob, the trainer, is great with them. It's really training the owners but you can tell all dogs respond to him well. He's a dog whisperer. Their staff are very helpful and friendly as well. You know they care for the animals they service. I'm considering enrolling my puppy with more classes coz he did so well with them and also signing him up for daycare as my son is going back to school (no more virtual) so can't leave a puppy home alone for too long.

We take our Black Russian Terrier, Lhasa Apso, and Chihuahua all here for all of their needs. The groomers are great with the fluffy breeds and do a fantastic job of shaping their coats. Other businesses were unsure of how to cut our breeds' coats but at Paws-Itive Experience they were familiar with the breed standards and more than delivered with the results.
They seem to genuinely care about your pet and even had notes to reference from our past visits, which was a huge help! It is well worth the wait to get on the books with these groomers!

I brought my 1 year old rescue to Pawsitive for a groom session and he loved it! They even put a cute holiday bandana on him. The facility is huge, but incredibly clean. They have a lot of treats, CBD, food, toys, etc. Upon check out as well. Will definitely be going back and plan to check out their dog day care as well.

Everyone here is so helpful. From my initial phone call trying to figure out what the best class was for my pup (Obedience I with a private lesson) everyone made sure that my Bella got what she needed. Rob had. been amazing in helping our baby learn better behavior and we can see a difference already. Thank you to Rob and team for all the support. We definitely recommend Paws-itive Experience Pet Services!

We had a great experience bringing our Pup to training and the Obedience 1 Class with Rob! They accept any dog, even ones that are barking/loud. The class wasn't just obedience, but also behavior correction, which has help a lot. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a great group training class!

I've taken several dogs to John's classes over the years, both my own and shelter dogs from the rescue I volunteer for. Everyone on staff is friendly and knowledgeable. John's methods have proven to work well for us and are very "user friendly." Training a dog is hard work but John and his crew make it much easier. They're always there for us! I've not had a chance to use their grooming or daycare facilities but hope to rectify that soon. Their store has a huge assortment of toys and food and anything else you could possibly need. We're fans for life!
