Enjoying life with your dog is more than just teaching them basic obedience skills – it’s also teaching them how to use their manners in daily life.

The Family Dog Manners Basic Obedience Class initially focuses on calming your dog and building attention and impulse control. We then begin teaching behaviors that will make your dog a more polite and enjoyable family companion.

Goal focused training. real-life skills.

From My Students

No better way to learn about my lessons than straight from my clients! Here are a few recent reviews.

Brianne is very patient & takes the time to thoroughly explain puppy’s thought process when we do the exercises. I like the gentle, easy way she works with my Puppy.. Highly recommend Positive Partners!

Brianne is great with our Giant Schnauzer puppy Koal! She is professional with my husband and I and gives us lots of one on one instruction while she is here with us helping us to learn how to train our puppy.

Since I have worked with many trainers over the years, I expected some good refreshment of knowledge I already had, but Brianne was a great source of new and helpful information. I was very pleased.

Great first lesson! We learned a lot about how dogs communicate and learn. The homework assignments are easy to follow and simple to implement. We look forward to so much more!
