In-Home Private Puppy Training
Raising a puppy comes with joy and frustration. We lessen the stress of puppy raising by coaching you through all the challenges! We will help you get potty training, puppy biting, manners, preventative measures and all the foundation obedience behaviours up and going. Private training means you get one-one training right in your home so your puppy can be successful where it matters, and you get answers to all your questions, specific to your situation!

Polished Pup
You completed your puppy program, what's next?
Didn't get all that you wanted from your puppy group class?
Do you want to improve your pups life skills out in public?
Our unique, Polished Pup service brings all those basic foundation behaviours from puppy class, polishes them up and then brings them into the real world! For older puppies (4 - 10 months) that have completed puppy level training with us or elsewhere.
Pawsitive Ways Dog Training in Guelph, is dedicated to helping owners raise puppies to be well-rounded family members. Our focus is on prevention of unwanted behaviours, and teaching skills needed for real life as an active family member. At PWDT, we understand how dogs learn. With the use of techniques founded in science and vetted by hundreds of trainers with thousands of dogs, we will teach your pup using positive, reward based methods. We then transfer their learned behaviours to you.
Our training techniques do not use pain, fear, or intimidation. We use what motivates your pup to create the behaviour we want, which in most cases are treats or toys. The use of treats is gradually faded as other real life rewards are incorporated.


In-Home Puppy Board & Train
Raising a puppy can be challenging. We lessen the stress of puppy raising by doing the training for you! We will get potty training, manners, socialization and foundation obedience behaviours up and going. Your pup stays in our home, treated as one of our own, with formal training sessions throughout the day, socialization outings and continuous informal manners training for the duration of their stay. And of course, lots of cuddles! Let a professional, certified trainer teach your pup for you!
