Hi there! My name is Kim.
I'm the owner/head trainer of Pawsitive Direction. I am a CPDT-KA, Fear Free certified dog trainer. I've been working professionally with dogs for the past decade, from offering behavioral support at local shelters to training service dogs, and everything in-between. My favorite part of working with dog guardians is helping families and their dog(s) feel more on the same page through relationship-based, positive training.
I know that for many of my clients, communicating with your dog can feel like learning a new language. I always show up for training sessions with a sense of humor, patience, and lots of enthusiasm as you and your dog learn. Every dog is unique and I enjoy tailoring training plans to meet the dog's needs while helping their human feel more empowered, confident, and connected with their four-legged friend.
I can't wait to share my passion for relationship-based dog training with you and your dog!
About Our Training Methods:
Our approach focuses on three key principles: managing your dog's environment for success, providing enrichment to meet their needs, and using pattern games to build engagement and predictable behavior.
Management strategies prevent problem behaviors—just as baby gates keep toddlers out of trouble, similar tools help dogs. Enrichment fulfills physical, mental, and emotional needs, often preventing behavioral issues. Pattern games are simple, engaging exercises that make learning fun for both dogs and humans.
While we use various techniques, your dog’s training plan will likely include management, enrichment, and pattern games. At Pawsitive Direction, we are committed to non-aversive methods and we do not use fear, pain, or intimidation to train dogs. Positive training is not only kinder but also more effective and safer.
