Programs and Pricing

Our daycare is much different than a traditional or large daycare facility. Our daycare program is staffed with employees that have been professionally trained by us to read canine body language and to understand dog psychology. Our employees understand how to advocate for puppies, senior dogs, or shy dogs. We also understand how to calm down an overly aroused dogs that could possibly cause problems in the yard. Many dogs start to experience behavior issues if they are in a group with larger or higher energy dogs that are overwhelming them.

This is where we are different. We are a small daycare in a real home. We group dogs according to size, play style, and energy level. Instead of your dog entering an area with 30 to 40 dogs with no real introduction, we do one on one introductions with each dog on their first day. This way we can evaluate your dog and place them into the correct play group so that all of the dogs have the best experience possible. We want our dogs to feel happy and safe while in our care.

If you send your dog to a regular day care, try sending your pup to us for a more structured and relaxing experience. Doggy daycare is a great way to channel your dogs excess energy. If you are seeing your dog coming home tired but his manners or behavior starting to get worse, odds are your dog could use more structure and less arousal. This is especially true with puppies and dogs that tend to get overly aroused by play.

We start puppies off on the right foot and offer socialization done the right way. Your puppy will learn how to play nicely and to have manners, even while playing.

This in home private session is a 60 to 90 minute consultation in your home where the trainer can get a thorough history on your dog, assess your unique situation, teach you how to add structure and leadership to your home and come up with management options until training begins. We will do some foundational training in the consultation and I will leave you with homework to work on during the week until we meet again.

This session is mainly to meet you and your family, to observe the dog is in the home, to address any questions you may have, and to come up with solutions to your most pressing problems. There is quite a bit of talking in this session but we will also start training right away and help you decide which of our many packages will be the most beneficial for you and your dog to get you headed in the right direction.

Pawsitive Foundation Dog Training provides private training sessions in the comfort of your own home. In home lessons provide you with personalized attention and enable us to help you more effectively with problems you may be having in your home and on walks.

Many people who enroll in group training classes find that their dog is not absorbing the training and the reason for this is because group classes are really meant for adding distraction to your commands. In a class environment, Group classes can be very distracting, especially for puppies and young dogs. It is much more beneficial to teach your dog commands in a low distraction environment first, then move onto group classes to add the distraction your dog is sure to encounter in the real world.

In home sessions are ideal for teaching basic obedience, house manners, leash walking and changing unwanted behaviors. One on one time with a trainer is much more effective than a group class environment for accelerated learning and for individualized behavior modification.

4 session package- If you are having problems with potty training, crate training, chewing, destructive behavior, excessive barking, or just want your dog to learn all the basics like sit, down, stay, place and start leash walking, the 4 lesson package is the perfect training program for you!.

8 session package- If you are looking for all basic foundation puppy work as listed above and would like your dog to receive more than the basic training and to challenge your pup with basic obedience in public places, extended leash work, socialization to people. places and things and real life challenges, then the 8 lesson package may be more of what you are looking for. This is a way to challenge the training you do in the home. This is especially helpful for rambunctious or nervous pups.

These packages also qualify you for Half or Full day Day Training as well. We will practice all of the commands we learn in the private lessons and add the repetition and proofing needed to make commands rock solid. You will continue to train your dog at home and we will add more practice and proofing if you decide to enroll in this program.

We also offer a four pack of sessions for more challenging behaviors such as reactivity, aggression, how to help a very fearful dog, and other behavioral issues.

All Board and Train programs include a free phone or Zoom consultation

At Pawsitive Foundation we offer a Board and Train program in our own home. This enables us to teach house manners in a home rather than in a facility where training might not translate easily to your home. We provide more one on one time with our trainers. Since your dog lives with the trainer and receives training around the clock, we are much more effective with all aspects of basic obedience, house manners, and potty training.

In home Board and Train programs are especially helpful for high energy or nervous, shy dogs that may not thrive in a kennel or boarding facility which are often extremely noisy, full of unbalanced barking and reactive dogs which can be an upsetting environment for a sensitive or rambunctious pup. Dogs have a harder time learning in a stressful state. We concentrate on creating a calm and balanced dog. Your dog will be in a relaxing home with calming music for dogs and essential oils in diffusers helping to make your dog comfortable and ready to learn.
