Helping you and your dog live your best lives, together.

We are here to empower you to train your dog! Every household is different so we tailor our training program to your specific needs. We will guide you through choosing the right tools and each step of the training process to attain a relationship with your dog based on leadership.

In home training

We help you create a calmer dog inside the home with our in-home training sessions to set you and your dog up for success before they even pass through the front door.

Creating balance outside

We help you create balance and structure outside the home. With our group classes and group walks we can help you achieve everything you want with your dog and help you and your dog create a stronger bond.

Creating Handler Focus

By building your relationship through games and confidence building exercises, your dog will see you as the most exciting person and their trusted leader.

Building Confidence

Working through tough tasks and conquering them together will help your dog build confidence in themselves and in you you. These tasks will also help them to become more aware of their body and proprioception.

Training Client Testimonials

  • Bentley B&T

    Belgian Malinois x GSD

    He would lunge at every person, car, or dog that walked along us and was always in "protection" mode. He would pull his leash during walks and because he's a big dog, he's caused my mother to fall before during a walk. He had even more guarded and aggressive behavior when guests would come over. He would intimidate everyone with his powerful barking and lunging where guests did not feel comfortable coming over anymore.

    I signed Bentley up for a 3 week board and train and they kept me updated EVERY DAY with pictures and/or comments. It gave me a sense of relief knowing what he's up to and how he is behaving. He came back super happy and I can tell he's enjoyed his time with PVK9 and all the friends he made, including his new girlfriend, Cora.

    Bentley is so pleasant to have now. We enjoy our walks together and he's become an overall behaved dog. Sarah and Brooke gave us information on how to properly do correction and spend multiple days with us training us too so that when he got home, we would feel comfortable and know how to handle any situation we came across. We are now a few weeks post training and we are so grateful for PVK9! They've changed our lives and helped us be a better family.

  • Beatrice B&T + D&T

    GSD x Husky x GSP x Hound

    Brooke and Sarah have been absolutely amazing with the training of my very spirited husky mix. Without them I doubt she would have acclimated to our family as well as she has. Pawsitive Vibes has kept up with our pups high energy and my family's ever changing needs in a very busy household. Looking forward to continuing to work with Brooke and Sarah for a long time.

  • Eve 1 on 1 Training

    GSD x Husky

    Sarah and Brooke both were amazing with my baby Eve. They knew exactly what she needed and did not treat her like every other dog. They tailor their training to your pets needs. They helped Eve with confidence building and obedience. In just a few training sessions I saw a huge difference in the way she acted as a whole. She is now much more confident and able to do things she never could before. Highly recommend and I love them!

  • Lily & Lucy 1 on 1 + B&T

    Golden Retrievers

    They are knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly caring. During their board and train I know they are in good hands and most importantly they are looked after and well taken care of. Lucy and Lily always come back happy after their stay. I initially reached out when I needed help walking both dogs together without being dragged to the floor. Within a few private 1-1 sessions the dogs where learning but so was I. I was able to implement everything they taught me and kept up with the homework they would assign me weekly. I’m proud to say I can now walk both of them side by side with no problem.

    Next, I wanted them to work on off leash obedience since my dogs love the beach and hiking. They recommended e collar training and it has changed their lives. Now they can enjoy all the activities they love without a worry. I highly recommend them to anyone! They look after our fur babies like they do theirs!

  • Nacho & Bentley 1 on 1 Training

    Malinois X & GSD X

    Brooke and Sarah helped my two pups Nacho and Bentley with walking together on leash. Before training they would pull me and zig zag through my legs, now they walk next to me and don’t pull. I’ve also used them for boarding and felt very confident my pups were safe and taken care of, they even sent photos every day. Every time they see Brooke and Sarah they are so excited which shows the care Brooke and Sarah have for my pups. I would highly recommend for any boarding and training needs. Thanks Brooke and Sarah!!

  • Hunter 1 on 1 Training

    Mixed Breed

    Can't say enough about how amazing Brooke and Sarah are with our young 2ish-year-old dog who is a handful at the best of times. They took him from a dog that was impossible to walk to a dog who is now so well behaved when we take him out. They have immense patience and so much love for our dog and all the dogs that they work with. So grateful to this amazing team who take exceptional care of their charges....they treat your fur children like they are their own.

  • Ruthie W&T

    GSD X

    We highly recommend Pawsitive Vibes for your pup. When we got Ruthie, a large shepherd lab mix, she was incredibly leash reactive and almost impossible to walk. With expert training and guidance Ruthie can now walk in a pack, doesn't pull and is a pleasure to walk. We owe it to Pawsitive Vibes for helping us with our Ruthie.

  • Turbo & Mia 1 on 1 Training

    American Bullies

    I have had 3 dogs trained with Sarah now over the years. The level of knowledge she has with dogs of every caliber is unmatched. From having a very behavioural girl, to a hyper sweet boy, and then a nervous unsure girl. Sarah gave me me all the tools to teach and understand each one of them in their own ways. My dogs are now all very balanced confident dogs I trust In every situation and environment. The bond I have been able to build with my dogs because of Sarah I will never be able to thank her enough. I would trust Sarah with my babies hands down!

  • Daisy & Simba 1 on 1 Training

    American Bully X

    We had the opportunity/pleasure to train with Sarah for Dog directed Reactivity and other concerns. Sarah assisted us through these challenges and oh boy how we have improved overnight is mind blowing. Sarah is not only caring and knowledgeable but also encouraged us through our sessions in a positive and empathetic ways. Taking the sessions with Sarah was literally a mood booster for me because each and every session we saw results and me and my pup felt confident that we got this. The techniques that we learned from Sarah to help my pup through the issues are amazing because we are able to see results. We have learned enough techniques and have the tools to practice in the real world and the results are beyond my expectations. If you feel lost and you have no hope for your pup please do not give up and reach out to Sarah. Trust me, she will help you! Sarah, we don’t have enough words to thank you in helping us

  • Shadow W&T + Pack Training Walks

    Mixed Breed

    PVK9 really helped me with my baby girl Shadow. She started with walk & trains at 3 months old then was introduced to pack training walks. She loved being a part of the pack walks! Highly recommend this service to anyone- it's so much more than a walk for your dog, it's training and mental stimulation! The love they give your animal is as if it was their own.

  • Cade 1 on 1 Training + Pack Training Walks

    Dutch x Malinois

    I recommend Sarah for all your dog needs. She has an amazing way of handling all kinds of dogs, I've watched her help dogs and owners alike with all kinds of situations. She is positive and patient with an amazing attitude. My own pup loves her dearly. Sarah has led our training sessions and pack training walk sessions, helping Cade with his impulse control, obedience training, and taught me how to be a more engaging, confident handler. Her handling is an inspiration for me and as trust her with my dog Cade for any and all needs.

  • Thora 1 on 1 Training + Pack Training Walks

    Rottweiler

    We’ve worked with Sarah for six years and we couldn’t be happier! Our doggo has nutrition and behaviour problems and Sarah has been a huge help to keeping her healthy and in shape. I would recommend her for your fur baby.
