Positive Paws Training

Holly is an incredibly knowledgable and compassionate trainer! She truly has love and dedication for dogs and her job. We have only had our first session with her, but she provided us with so much useful information and guidance for our puppy.Holly is not only amazing with dogs, but great with people as well. We have never had a dog before and Holly was super encouraging and made us feel a lot more confident moving forward with her suggestions, tips and information. She helped us learn what our puppies behaviours mean and how to use positive reinforcement when training him!After our consultation, Holly provided us with extensive notes from the session, homework for us and the puppy and loads of other useful resources. If you want an amazing well behaved dog, Holly is your person!

Holly was absolutely wonderful during the time we worked on our dogs separation anxiety with her! She was always so encouraging and empathetic to our challenges, and she was really individualized the training protocol for our pup. And it worked! After 5 months we can now leave our dog home alone and stress-free for up to 5 hours!I highly recommend investing in your dogs quality of life and working with Holly and Positive Paws Training!

We saw a wonderful transformation with a neighborhood fur buddy and needed to know how! Our Ollie is 3.5yrs old and he barks at other dogs, skateboarders, rolling luggage, strollers, loud trucks, squirrels, strangers in dark hooded clothing and doorbells.Needless to say walks can be stressful and challenging!After the first initial meeting with the lovely Holly of Positive Paws Training, we were amazed not to mention how Ollie adores her. Holly was insightful with Ollie's behaviour. She gave us knowledgeable tools and showed us how to deal with situations as they came.We saw Positive results instantly! The support we got from Holly has given us hope and confidence.Neighboring dog owners have seen huge transformation in our Ollie as well.We are very happy with Holly and Positive Paws Training! Highly recommend them!Mike, Sylvia and Ollie

Holly is the best dog trainer I've met so far. She is so smart and good with dogs and people! We love how she uses positive reinforcement and applies science based evidence to teach us about our dogs behaviours. Our dog Chip loves her weekly lessons because she makes them so fun! We were seeing Holly before the pandemic precautions started and can say that her classes are still amazing as a virtual setting. Thank you for being so great, Holly!

If your dog has separation anxiety and you are unsure about hiring a professional - Just do it! Holly is super knowledgeable & supportive. She helped us get our life back by gradually introducing our dog to time alone, and she broke it down into simple daily steps for us to follow. Thanks Holly!!

Holly is great. Not only is she professional and knowledgeable but our dog LOVES her, to the point that when I play videos from Holly's site our pup starts running around the house looking for her! We did Holly's puppy class, manners and we would love to do a manners 2 if one opens in the future! We have also done private training that has helped us so much! Our pup used to try to pull away when we even got near parking lots because she was so scared of the car, but now with Holly's help we have her getting all the way up to the car walking on her own without having to be carried. The best part is Holly is such an advocate for positive reinforcement and is not afraid to be an advocate for you and your dog, reminding your to be an advocate for your own dog as well, and it makes you feel stronger as someone choosing to train your dog in a positive way keeping their health and safety in mind <3

Holly was amazing when it came to our new rescue, Blue. When we first got Blue, we discovered he had some pretty bad separation anxiety, I tried training him myself with some help from Google but with no luck, it was very overwhelming! I contacted Holly and it was the best decision I ever made. Holly is so sweet and super knowledgeable about what your pup needs. She listened to all my concerns and always kept Blue’s best interests at heart! Even after we stopped with our trainings, Holly gave us all the tools to continue on our own and Blue is getting better each day! Would recommend her to anyone dealing with a pup with separation anxiety.

Holly is amazing! I took her Puppy Class and have done a couple 1x1 sessions, and can’t recommend her enough. :) She’s super engaging, really responsive, and obviously cares about what’s best for you and your pups.I had previously taken a puppy class with a different trainer and found that Holly’s (even though we had to go virtual due to Covid) was way more informative and helpful than the first. My pup had a great head start thanks to her!

Holly was great, super supportive and knowledgeable. I recommend her to anyone having issues with their dogs separation anxiety.

I cannot say enough positive things about Holly. We've done both 1 on 1 training sessions, as well as her puppy manners class. She is patient, kind, and wonderful with puppies. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our pup has made so much progress working with Holly. 10/10 would recommend.
