​​Pawsitive Play Dog Training and Michele Terlep, MEd, a nationally Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), and a multi-award winning educator, can help turn your challenges into success using the art and science of positive reinforcement dog training.

When you picture your future with your dog do you want:
A partner not just a dog?
A confident, well-behaved dog at home and out and about?
To be able to walk your dog and not be walked by your dog?
For your dog to make great choices including not rushing out the door or jumping?
Your dog to be off lead and still respond to you?
A great relationship with your dog?

​If this is what you want and not what you currently have...

Training Can Help With:
  • Your dog being naughty but mostly nice 
  • Jumping on you, your guests or your furniture
  • Barking at other dogs or people
  • Pulling and dragging you down the street on your walk
  • Embarrassing you when you have friends or family over
  • Running out the door or not coming back to you when called
  • Being unable to settle and be calm at home and out and about
  • Chasing critters and learning to ignore distractions
  • Puppy behaviors and training needs
  • Creating a good, well behaved dog
It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become.
