Moncton’s 1^st positive reinforcement
dog and puppy training.

Puppy Training

We specialize in early puppy training and socialization. Train your dog from 8 weeks to 5 months – prevent problems before they start! This is your dog’s prime learning period – when the brain is like a lump of clay waiting to be moulded.

Adult Dog Training

Don’t worry, it is never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. We offer courses for dogs of all ages - no dog is too old to learn good manners.

How can we help you and your dog?

Positive, effective and practical training for dogs and owners.

Does your dog jump so much that people are afraid to visit you?
Is your dog remodeling your house with his chewing?
Does your dog drag you down the road on walks?
Is your puppy nipping harder than a baby piranha?

We offer simple solutions to common dog behaviour problems such as: nipping, chewing, housetraining, barking, focus and control, jumping up for greetings, begging for food, pulling on leash, come when called and much more.

Doggone Pawsitive teaches you to manage your dog to prevent problems and sets you and your dog up for success. We don’t just train your dog – we train you also!

Private Lessons

We also offer behaviour modification for problems such as: guarding food or objects, aggression toward people or other dogs, fearful or anxious behaviour, noise phobias, separation anxiety and more.

Doggy Daycare

Doggy daycare provides structured exercise and activities for dogs so they don’t develop destructive habits like chewing, nipping and housetraining problems. A tired dog is a happy dog – one that is too tired to chew on your sofa. That means a happy owner! Daycare is also great for owners with new puppies as puppies need a lot of attention and should not be left alone for long periods of time. We offer a secure cage–free indoor and outdoor environment. Your dog is always supervised by our professionally trained staff, who in addition to refereeing play, spend much of their time reinforcing your dog’s basic obedience. To ensure the best quality experience for our clients and dogs – we limit daycare to dogs that have come to training with us.

Doggone Pawsitive has more than 2,000 successful graduates. We are your experts
in puppy and dog behaviour.
