Rebecca is a wonderful trainer to work with! She listens to your needs and gives practical solutions. We saw amazing results almost immediately and have continued to make progress every session.

Rebecca is amazing! I took my Great Dane to a private lesson and Rebecca was so helpful and patient. She had valuable insights into how dogs operate and ways to effectively encourage positive changes in behavior that felt attainable. I am looking forward to the progress we will be able to make with Millie (the dog) so that she can be more social and have the skills to do well in unfamiliar situations with building up her confidence with the program Rebecca offers. Highly recommend working with Start Pawsitive Dog Training.

My 3 year old Catahoula and I recently participated in a 6 week intermediate obedience group class with Rebecca. We learned so much and I'm very happy with the improved communication Gabby and I are enjoying. Rebecca is knowledgeable, kind, patient and a great communicator with both people and dogs. I highly recommend her for any help you may be looking for in making your relationship with your canine companion the best possible. Marlene Peck

Rebecca is the best! I’m so happy I found her for training my puppy. She offers different levels of training, works on commands inside and outside to address distractions, and will work on individual needs during sessions to ensure a dog progresses with commands and specific behaviors. Rebecca is very patient and kind with both dogs and their owners. In addition to classes, she does leash walking sessions and puppy play time! She also recently added grooming as an option and the groomer, Molly, has 15 years of experience. Since my puppy hasn’t been groomed yet, we’re starting with the introductory grooming so she can be introduced to the stressors that happen during the process. My dog loves Rebecca and I feel assured she’ll grow into a well behaved dog thanks to Rebecca’s help.

We have been working with Rebecca for a few weeks. She is an absolute pleasure to work alongside. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all aspects of training our puppy. In a few weeks he has come a long way. He’s still got a way to go. But finding Rebecca has been a huge help to us. She has been working with dogs for many years and she is a positive force for us and the pup. Thank you Rebecca!!!!
