Philadelphia, PA
Positive Canine Concepts LLC offers a comprehensive range of dog training services to address basic obedience, manners, and common behavioral issues. We provide expert consultations to tackle problems like housetraining, inappropriate chewing, jumping on people, leash pulling, excessive barking, resource guarding, and nipping.
Our certified trainers use various training equipment, including flat or martingale collars, solid leashes (in six or four-foot lengths), head halters, and harnesses. At PCC, our training philosophy centers on understanding how dogs learn and perceive their environment. We employ positive reinforcement techniques that motivate dogs in a humane and effective manner, avoiding stress or coercion.
We proudly serve locations in Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester counties in Pennsylvania, as well as the surrounding 'Philadelphia suburbs' region in Southern New Jersey. Our expertise extends to all dogs, including puppies, and we offer customized training and management plans.
For added convenience, we offer 'day training' plans where our skilled trainer, Chris, will work with your dog while you're away at work. These schedules typically involve multiple weekly sessions with your dog and separate sessions with you, the owner(s), present two or three times each month.

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.
Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.
All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.
Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.
Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
