At Pawsitive Steps we provide quality training that allows handlers and their dogs to build a solid foundation for both their agility career and, more importantly, their lifelong relationship with their pet.

We are dedicated to the continual improvement of our training programs. Our instructors attend seminars and training camps with many of the top trainers and handlers in North America on a regular basis as well as continue to be seen on the competition circuit at both the Regional, and Canadian and US National levels. This ensures our trainers are able to bring the most up to date training techniques and handling skills to our seminars and camps.

Our programs are designed to accommodate all levels of agility enthusiast from the recreational handler to those working for National level competition.

Pawsitive Steps would like to thank the many seminar presenters, instructors, camp hosts, equipment suppliers and clubs for their wealth of knowledge and contributions to the sport of agility.

We would especially like to thank Susan Garrett and the staff at Say Yes Dog Training. Susan's dedication to the improvement of people's relationships with their dogs as well as her extensive knowledge of operant conditioning make her one of the best dog trainers I have had the opportunity to work with. Susan and Say Yes Dog Training have greatly influenced Pawsitive Steps training programs. Although we attend many different training camps and clinics, we continually find ourselves drawn back to Susan's camps and seminars. They are innovative and offer the best in leading edge training techniques this sport has to offer. Susan has greatly influenced us, and the sport of agility, not just in North America, but all over the world.

To all our students across the country, we thank you for allowing us the opportunity to develop a training program we can all be proud of. Your patience and understanding has helped us to learn and grow as trainers, handlers and instructors. We are as excited as you when you have that perfect clean run, get that title, win that Nationals or just get your dog to PLAY with you for the very first time! Keep up the great work! You make us proud every time you step on the field and people know where you train because of how happy your dogs are and how well they do! Always remember....it is just a game we play with our dogs. Life is short and it is precious and our time with our pets is so limited so treasure every moment. Most of all.......have FUN!!!!
