Still Unsure? Here are a few words from some of my clients.

“I had reached the point where I didn’t know what to do with my 14 month old Havanese puppy. Personal training seemed the only option, I needed someone who would come to my house, with my dog, witness my family dynamic and provide training tips that would work for us. As a busy mom I needed realistic solutions with fast results.

Susan with Purely Positive achieved in three weeks ALL the goals I wanted and more, she helped eliminate the challenges we were having with Kona and has taught us all so much. She is patient, kind, straightforward and does an amazing job of providing training techniques that are doable. Susan answered all my concerns, was so helpful & real. Susan really is a genius with animals and I would trust no one else with dog training.” Julie Chalupsky
