Justus Joseph, CPDT-KA, leads Just Us Positive Pups, offering obedience training and behavior modification services to families in the Chicagoland area. Their training utilizes current canine science with a focus on consent, communication, and cooperation. They employ humane and positive reinforcement techniques, which behavioral scientists have repeatedly and consistently shown as the most effective, longest lasting, safest, and most humane approach to dog training. This means they won’t ever express frustration or anger, try to intimidate them, physically punish or coerce them, or try to make them fear us. Justus has additional extensive experience with special needs dogs, including those with visual impairment, deafness, and mobility challenges, as well as difficult behaviors.
