As a certified dog trainer, the owner of Mission Pawsitive Dog Training offers private lessons using reward-based and force-free methods to ensure enjoyable and effective learning experiences for everyone. They work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, addressing basic puppy training, obedience/manners (such as loose leash walking, recall, and polite greetings), behavioral modification for common issues, and tricks. Possessing the CPDT-KA designation, they refrain from using choke chains, prong collars, e-collars, spray collars, or any other aversive equipment. Their services cover a 15-mile radius of Woodland Hills, and they conduct sessions in English.
