"Pawsitive Plus has been a fantastic experience! As a first time dog-parent, Pawsitive Plus has been able to provide amazing support, training, and socialization for our new puppy. I highly recommend their services; their unparalleled passion for helping you raise your pets with positive reinforcement is fantastic! I look forward to enrolling Thara in future classes!"

"Atlas really enjoyed his Perfect Puppies 101 classes. He learned so many commands and was introduced to many different experiences. Lauren and Gen were so helpful in dealing with his anxiety and went out of their way to accommodate him."

"Perfect puppies 101 was the perfect class for our little Chewie. He learnt a lot of new commands, and his people learnt how not to encourage bad habits. To quote the class, you’ll be “setting your puppy up for success!""

"We joined Pawsitive Plus a few weeks ago and we are thrilled. We began with the Obedience 101 course with Jen. She has been incredible at teaching the basics of obedience and helping us learn more about socialization. Our puppy has also attended a few Puppy Cadets sessions once a week with Genevieve and he just loves it. Puppy Cadets is great because it reinforces the concepts learned in Obedience 101, and allows the puppies to socialize in a small group under the supervision of an excellent trainer. We are so happy with our puppy’s progress and results, that we’ve enrolled him twice a week in Puppy Cadets now going forward. We signed our puppy up for his first day of daycare yesterday, and he had his first full night’s sleep that night! For the sessions that we do not attend with him (e.g., Puppy Cadets and daycare), we absolutely love how we get updates with photos and videos throughout the session. We have so many more sessions and classes to sign up and look forward to! We are so excited to continue our journey with Pawsitive Plus and we know our puppy is over the moon too! Thank you Pawsitive Plus!"

"Roo loves the social enrichment courses here and she really loves the staff!! We did her puppy training here and it was a great base for her continued training. We have recently purchased drop off and agility sessions and look forward to the fun ♡"

"Thanks so much for these classes! Riley is a different pup on a leash now vs. when we started. We definitely have great tips that we use on every walk and Riley pays way more attention to us than other distractions on the walk. Lots of fun, great and helpful class!"

"The staff at Pawsitive Plus were very knowledgeable and caring. Being a first time dog owner, I was unsure how or where to go for training for my puppy. The trainers made it very easy to learn and were always available to answer any questions. Not only were they open to answering any questions, they even provided detailed experiences and took the time send their own videos for assistance. The trainers definitely cared about each puppy and could assess each puppy’s needs! I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a small classroom who wants to give their puppy the best basic training experience."

"I have brought my puppy for their puppy 101 classes with Trainer Meghan and their drop off socialization sessions with a group of trainers now that he's older (7-24 months session). All the trainers have been fantastic in their advice and support both within classes and online as he has grown. My pup loves his classes and all his trainers and looks forward to seeing all of them any time we have visited. Highly recommend!"

"A great experience for our family and our puppy. They listened to us about our concerns and explained why our pup was acting the way he was. They gave us easy to follow training exercises. We will definitely keep working with these guys."

"Just had our first appointment with Sarah, she was very nice and helpful. Being a first time puppy parents to a VERY VERY energetic puppy, it’s extremely overwhelming and stressful, Sarah was able to help us with different things that we can use to manage our little boy. Looking forward to our next class!"

"Ali was great providing helpful tips to train our puppy."

"Amazing experience with Pawsitive Plus Dog Training! Jen and the team were wonderful! We are 1st time puppy parents and really enjoyed the weekly classes - our puppy did as well! Our puppy is a toy poodle, and was definitely the smallest pup in the class (and very timid) however the training team made him feel very comfortable, and created a safe space for him to explore and meet the other puppies on his own time! We will miss the weekly classes! I highly recommend the puppy training program for all pups!"

"Took my pup for socialization class a couple of times and will keep taking her every week. Great environment for the puppies, supervised by experienced trainers. My pup absolutely loves it! The people are wonderful - kind, professional, friendly. Great place!"

"Atlas was around 18 19 weeks when we joined the social that was offered at pawsitive. From that day, we knew this was the place for atlas to go to every week. The trainers are so patient and attentive. Atlas was very nippy and loves to bite things. Pawsitive has helped us with our issues with Atlas and has given us so much advice! Every Saturday, Atlas is so tired after the social. He bums around all day. We also have done online training with Gen. Atlas has improved so much and we will continue with the socials and training!"

"I have enjoyed taking our puppy here for lessons as well as one on one help. Very positive experience. Highly recommend."

"Our 5-mth GSD thoroughly enjoyed the socialization sessions. Safe environment, well supervised. Trainers provide assessments of puppy's behavior at the end. Highly recommend."

"Im having a really great experience with Pawsitive Plus so far. The events are well organized and the training tips have been tremendously helpful. Its a safe environment wherever the class takes place and the trainers are the most pleasant people with lots to learn from. Really recommend their services."

"Gen provided us with at-home behaviour training to help us learn how to help our dog’s anxiety. She provided us with great ideas and advice and will be following up with us to see how we’re doing. Thanks Gen!"

"Our dog training was excellent! The training was in depth and varied and our pup came out a better dog. The team genuinely loves their dogs and clients and the small class size was very beneficial.We also appreciated the free socialization classes thrown in due to the training being on line because of COVID. Bravo Genevieve, Jen and Pawsitive Plus Dog team. We highly recommend!!!"

"I am so happy that I found Pawsitive Plus!!!! My 5mos old basset and I have had such a great experience . We learned so much during Perfect Puppies 101 with trainer Ali and can’t wait for COVID lock-down to end so that we can advance to the next level. And the drop-off puppy socials are the best! Highly recommend!!!!"

"We booked a 1.5 hour private puppy training class. Genevieve was great with our dog. She taught us some things to start using right away We are looking forward to signing up for puppy classes and socialization drop in’s. Highly recommend this company."

"We signed up for a 1.5 hour consultation, as we recently adopted an 11 month Potcake, who was rehomed with us. We didn't know what to expect given the virtual format, but it was time very well spent! Our primary objective with our dog is to build trust and improve her confidence (she can be timid around other people), find ways to reduce her separation anxiety, make her more naturally comfortable inside her crate and employ calming methods for when our dog is feeling scared (ie. going into our bathroom, taking her medicine). Our trainer gave us some GREAT advice on how to instill the right behaviours in order to address these opportunities, and we've implemented many of their tools/tactics right away! We would highly recommend Pawsitive Plus to others. Their advice is invaluable and we will definitely be coming back for more training!"

"i was aprehensive about doing zoom training thinking this was not going to be effective - Gen was professional and so great to provide us the understanding of the interaction with our new puppy and mature dog to help us navigate this transition. She gave us some great tips and games to play to keep everyone busy and happy!! thank you again Gen i was surprised at the outcome and ability to train in these strange times"

"Wally has finished his puppy 101 classes and has been to a few social play dates. Pawsitive plus has been amazing and have adapted well to virtual learning!"

"So happy that I found Gen - have learned tons from her classes and I am much more confident walking my dog. Lovely group!*"

"I am so happy with the things we’ve learned from the 201 puppy training and socialization classes we’ve attended. I cannot say enough about the entire staff who are super friendly, knowledgeable, and very passionate about the work they do and it shows! If you’re looking for an excellent training place for your dog, I highly recommended Pawsitive Plus Dog Training!"

"We've been very impressed with Megan and Ali! They been super reliable and patient with us. They have given us great advice and provided us with useful tools for our new puppy. We looked forward to continuing to work with Megan, Ali and the Pawsitive Plus Dog Training!"

"I am so blessed to have worked with Gen. You go beyond a trainer and I now know why a dog behaviorist is leaps and bounds above just a trainer . There is a huge difference going to a dog behaviorist who also does dog training. It is a step above as dog body language is complex and a subtle ART form . She notices tiny nuances that our dogs show us that are very subtle and give us dog owners a tiny insight into how dogs truly communicate. A tail wagging is not just happy it could mean a number of different things and may be different in different breeds. Gens classes are fun and informative. From puppies to frightened rescues Gen will work with you all to create a balanced and happy dog."

"Pawsitive Plus has been amazing at helping me with my dog Snowy since he was very young puppy. We did a private session with Sarah, who is wonderful as a person and a trainer, when he was very young, which was amazing at setting us off on the right path. The puppy socials have been amazing at teaching my pup to be comfortable around other dogs and to play well with other dogs, which I'm so thankful for since I need to take him to the dog park a lot to burn his energy. Plus he loves going to anything at Pawsitive Plus!"

"Loved watching my dog have a great time with the other dogs . It was well supervised and controlled. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I will definitely bring him back for more sessions."

"Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Really helped us with our puppy."

"Ace had a fantastic holiday season with lots of new people around him. By using the strategies we learned through our training with you, he was a delightful addition to the festivities. We managed him on leash when people came into the house, he often hung out on his “place” (by request or on his own volition), and we used challenging food toys to keep him busy but near us. He seemed comfortable and happy through it all. Thank you for your wise training to get us to this point — and when I say “us,” I know that my family and I learned as much (or more) than Ace!"

"Absolutely the best dog training experience I have ever had. Please do your homework! A lot of dog training places out there claim that they use positive reinforcement but they really don’t. This method is the most effective and long-lasting method in dog training because it creates a bond between you and your dog that is based on trust and not fear. Pawsitive Plus dog training specializes in treating dogs with severe behavioural issues. They have a team of really devoted and friendly individuals that go above and beyond in doing whatever they can to help your dog succeed."

"Currently we are sending our pup to the puppy socialization classes and we love that he gets to play with other dogs his age while also getting some training in with the trainers. He loved his first class and will be coming back again!"

"I had a lovely German Shepherd but she had started one day to be afraid of other dogs and her behavior was not easy to handle. I did a lot of training with different trainers but no positive results. When I took classes with Pawsitive Plus I saw that I was on my way to success (sadly we lost our dog because she had a bad condition and many health issues). Now I am taking classes with my small dog (rescue dog) shy and very nervous, after a few classes I can see I am on my way to succes again! Pawsitive Plus Dog Training great job!!"

"I attended training classes a few years ago with Pawsitive Plus for my adult dog with fear and confidence issues. Gen was amazing, and we managed to turn Madison around into a confident, happy girl. A few months ago, I got a puppy and had no hesitation going back to to Pawsitive Plus for her training. Starr is now 8 months old and we have graduated from Perfect Puppies 101 and 201 (and have the certificates to prove it!). If you are searching for a service that can help you with dog behavioural issues and training for an adult dog or your new puppy then I can save you a lot of searching time and highly recommend Gen and Sarah at Pawsitive Plus!"

"North Oakville Animal Hospital is pleased to support a trainer like Gen who’s philosophy is positive re-enforcement, kindness and consistency. It’s great that she goes the extra step to teach her classes how to read dog body language to help people and dogs communicate better and therefore deepen their bond." ​ Her classes teach practical, real world skills that help dogs be excellent canine citizens and wonderful family companions.

"We came for the BAT setups and stayed for the games! For the Snappy to Happy classes Gen and the rest of the Pawsitive Plus team organize BAT setups with other dogs in order to practice better behaviours around other dogs and/or people in a controlled manner. We've also taken the Games & Walk with Me classes which offer lots of new ideas to enrich our dogs' lives, train positively and practice our skills.​"

"So happy that I found Gen - have learned tons from her classes and I am much more confident walking my dog. Lovely group!"

"Its been a tremendous help to us in welcoming our furry family member to get guidance and easy to follow instruction on training her. The puppy classes are great and we love the email re-caps that allow us to review at home. Our puppy loves the drop-in play sessions too!​"

"Was recommended to us from our trainer Trizane Dog Services for the puppy social sessions for our puppy Enzo. Enzo always enjoys the puppy social classes every week and for us as dog owners Pawsitive Plus reinforce good socialization behaviour. I highly recommend the puppy social classes!"

"My puppy Benji loves his social classes at Pawsitive Plus! He is happy to attend, leaving my side quickly to go and play with his friends and the trainers. I feel confident that he is in great hands and is being kept safe! Thank you for offering such a great setting for puppy socialization!"
