We are the #1 dog and puppy training program recommended by Tacoma area vets!

"We had a great experience with our dog Gretel. The dog trainers were knowledgeable, helpful, and always demonstrated new behaviors to work on. It was truly a great experience!" Dr. Peter and Rita Yantorni Chambers Creek Veterinary Hospital Lakewood, WA

"I have taken two puppies through the Positive Approach training classes and will bring my next dog through as well. The training is not only fun and practical for the owner, but it's also fun for dogs! I'm convinced my dogs are better adjusted to people and other dogs because of the social skills the acquired at daycare. As a veterinarian, I have seen a drastic decrease in the number of dogs with destructive problems because daycare provided such an excellent exercise program. It's been a lifesaver for this working mom. Thanks Positive Approach Dog Training!" Virginia Wright, DVM Columbia Veterinary Clinic Tacoma, WA

"I am a veterinarian who has practiced in the Seattle / Tacoma area for over 16 years. I have extensive continuing education in animal behavior and counsel my clients in behavior problems. I consistently refer all of my clients to Positive Approach Dog Training and have taken two dogs of my own through training courses and private lessons. Suzi and her staff are extremely competent, caring trainers. I love their positive approach and it works well! They have my highest recommendation. I will continue to use them and to refer to Positive Approach Dog Training. Teri Byrd, DVM
