Testimonials

Jack’s journey with Pawsitive Paws has been nothing short of a tail-wagging success! He started as a puppy who thought 'Total Recall' was just a movie, and now he’s mastered (almost) every class Sharmon offers. From nailing Impulse Control to strutting his stuff in Leash and Community Manners, Jack’s transformation has been awesome to watch.

The Agility and Scent Games classes? Jack had SO much fun. But the real test of his training came when we brought home our baby last August. Thanks to Sharmon’s amazing program, Jack stays calmly on his bed—even when the baby turns mealtime into a floor buffet.

We can’t thank Sharmon enough for helping us build such a strong bond with Jack. If his Canine Good Citizen ribbon doesn’t say it all, his happy, well-behaved tail wags surely do!

“These are the best classes I have ever been in! Sharmon is warm, witty, and extremely knowledgeable about the benefits of maintaining a positive relationship with your dog. She is capable of quickly understanding her students’ needs and providing useful suggestions. Her presentation is clear, and her style is open and inviting to questions. Sharmon is a delight to work with and can easily teach you to get results. If you are looking for help in training your dog, Sugar and I encourage you to strongly consider Sharmon and Pawsitive Paws!”

“I’ve learned, my dog has learned and we both are having a fun time taking classes from Sharmon! These are the best dog classes I have ever taken! I feel like I have a new dog after taking these classes. I went from having a very reactive dog to one well on her way to getting her CGC! All classes use only positive reinforcement, and there is not a choke collar in sight in these classes!”

“When we had our first class with Sharmon, our reactive Penny was yards away from the rest of the group and barking. After just two or three classes Penny was part of the group with all the other dogs! Now, after completing basic training Penny continues to excel in Sharmon’s classes and is no longer the crazy reactive puppy we once had. It has truly been a miracle! Thanks, Sharmon for your excellent services. I would highly recommend it to everyone I know. I’m extremely happy with Pawsitive Paws.”

“Pawsitive Paws – The name says it all. Extremely fun, educational and positive training. Our dog, Koda, loved the interaction with the other dogs and owners, and really looked forward to the time with Sharmon. Everything is geared towards teaching your dog what you want them to do, in a positive fashion. Sharmon encourages the entire family to participate in order to maintain consistency. A trained dog is a happy and confident dog.”

“Everything about our experience with Pawsitive Paws has been pawsitive. Thor and I began with your puppy class, he was the biggest, and wildest kangaroo, crazy pup and you performed magic on him with your techniques. I certainly have learned a different, better way to achieve desired behaviors. Thor and I are both a work in progress and we thank you for your patience and expertise. Your classes make learning fun for both dogs and humans. We look forward to attending future classes and Thor earning his Canine Good Citizen Certificate.”
