Pawz-itive Dog Training provides custom Service Dog Training and Certifications based on the individual needs of the dog’s handler…
We have extensive experience working with dogs and a wide array of handlers who have mild to very challenging disabilities. We have trained with children, teens, adults, and families who have the willingness to invest their time to create successful dog/handler teams.
We use a personalized approach that focuses on how a strong partnership with your Service Dog will help you overcome the obstacles you will face at home and in public.
Service Dogs give you the ability to increase freedom and independence by providing assistance and performing various tasks in everyday life. Service Dogs improve the lives of people with a wide range of disabilities, whether physical, neurological, or psychiatric.
Our Certified Service Dogs, who are thoroughly trained, tested, and proofed have the ability to access anywhere in Public and are able to travel at no cost. We prepare our Service Dog’s to fly airlines comfortably and confidently.
