About this trainer

Pawsitively Perfect Pooches is centered around positive reinforcement, devoid of choke or prong collars. The training philosophy hinges on ‘Pawsitive’ reinforcement, excluding the use of choke chains, prong collars, or shock collars. This approach aims to foster a positive relationship and mutual respect between owners and their dogs.

The team serves various locations, including Santa Monica, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Beverly Hills, Beverlywood, Westwood, South Bay, El Segundo, Manhattan, Redondo, Hermosa Beaches, West LA, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Malibu, Playa Del Rey, and Mar Vista. Services offered encompass group classes, private in-home training, pet sitting with training brush-ups, and a range of activities for active dogs, including professional pet photography.

Melissa Hummer, the founder, has a wealth of experience working with dogs and holds certifications as a CGC (Canine Good Citizens) evaluator, as well as in pet first-aid and CPR. Her dedication extends to community service, including work with K9 Connection, an organization pairing at-risk youth with shelter dogs, and volunteering at shelters in Los Angeles.
