A Different Kind of Dog Training
At Simply Pawsitive, I blend behavior expertise, emotional understanding, and fear-free training into a calm, supportive experience for both you and your dog.
No harsh tools.
No power struggles.
No quick-fix obedience drills.
Just clear guidance, nervous-system–aware strategies, and transformational support that meets your dog where they are.
My goal is simple: help your dog feel safe, understood, and capable so real progress can begin.

Perfect for:
Leash walking
Jumping
Barking
Basic Obedience
New dog transitions
Over-arousal & chaos
General behavior concerns
Puppy struggles (potty training, biting, socialization)
And “I just need someone to come show me what to do”
Some families only need one visit. Others may need two or three.
No packages. No pressure. You stay in control and get sessions only when you need it.
Includes:
Behavior assessment
Training plan
Hands-on coaching

This is not a traditional board & train.
There are no harsh tools, and no noisy facility-type environment.

A transformative reset for dogs who need more than a few lessons.
Simply Pawsitive was founded to help dogs and their people thrive together. We blend science-backed methods with trust, focusing on each dog's unique story and emotional needs. Our trauma-informed, energy-aware approach means every session is safe, supportive, and tailored to your dog's unique behavior needs so real progress can happen..
We believe in positive change - never punishment. Our mission is to empower you and your dog to communicate, trust, and grow together for a lifetime of harmony.

Board & Train
I specialize in fear-free, emotionally intelligent behavior work that focuses on the why behind a dog’s actions - not just teaching commands. I don’t use harsh tools, dominance methods, or high-pressure obedience. Instead, I help your dog feel safe enough to learn, and help you understand what they need to thrive. This approach creates calmer behavior, lasting change, and a stronger relationship between you and your dog.
No punishment, No prong collars. No e-collars. I use fear-free, relationship-based methods only. Dogs learn best when they feel safe, understood, and supported - not intimidated or physically corrected. My methods are rooted in modern behavior science and emotional regulation, not outdated dominance theories.
Every dog is different but most families begin seeing progress within the first week, often sooner. Our programs are designed to support you and your dog's individual needs for as long as you need us. There are no contracts so you stay only as long as you need.
Yes - this is my specialty. With 7+ years working closely with rescues and tough behavior cases, I’m experienced with dogs who are anxious, overwhelmed, shut down, or even reactive. I take a calm, patient, and individualized approach to help these dogs feel safe, decompress, and learn at their own pace.
