Pawsitive Directions Behavior and Training, LLC offers behavior consultations, private training, small group manners classes, and seminars/workshops.
Certifications include a B.A. and CDBC designation. Jody, the business owner, believes in using various training equipment such as Gentle Leaders, SENSE-ation harnesses, martingale collars, or nylon collars, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all tool for every dog.
The training philosophy at Pawsitive Directions focuses on building a harmonious relationship between dogs and their families through positive, ongoing, and cooperative training. Emphasizing the importance of diet, lifestyle, and exercise, the aim is to strengthen the bond between families and their dogs.
Serving the Oshkosh, WI, and surrounding area since 2000, appointments can be scheduled at clients’ homes or at the office in Oshkosh. A per-mile fee is charged for travel to in-home appointments.
Jody, with a B.A. in psychology from Marquette University and certified through the IAABC, has been working full-time with dogs since 1992. Managing the Oshkosh Area Humane Society provided invaluable hands-on experience and the opportunity to work with dogs of different breeds, ages, and various training challenges.
Pawsitive Directions offers a range of classes, private training, and behavior consultations to accommodate different schedules and lifestyles. Private appointments can be scheduled at home or at the office in Oshkosh, WI, while classes are intentionally kept small (4-5 dogs) to ensure individual attention and maximize the success of each dog.
The classes offered include Polite Puppy, Basic Manners, Basics and Beyond, Advanced Manners, Tricks & Games, Ultimate Recall, Jumping and Pulling Solutions, and Sniffing Games.
Jody enjoys working with and training her own dogs and has competed in agility, rally, obedience, and K9 Nosework, earning 87 performance titles with her two current dogs, Cirrus and Maya, both adopted German Shepherd Dogs.
