Who We Are ?
We Love Your Dog, Just as You Do!
I am Lori Hill, the owner of Pawsitive Dog Training (PDT). After a very successful but unfulfilling career as an accountant, I began looking for ways to focus my energies in a more gratifying way. After spending some time volunteering with animal shelters and dog rescues, I adopted my two spinal-injury miniature dachshunds in 2006 and began training them immediately. They excelled and became certified therapy dogs in 2008 and 2009. My dachshunds have since passed over the Rainbow Bridge and now I have a Brittany who is excelling in barnhunt and scentwork. They inspire me everyday to be my best. PDT wholeheartedly supports adoption and a portion of the proceeds go to a local rescue group www.getalifepetrescue.com

EXCELLENT Based on 28 reviews Posted on Olenka CoughlanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori is a skilled and patient trainer who helped both of our Huskies thrive. Lori trained our first Husky five years ago, so when we decided to add another furry family member we knew exactly who to call. Our second pup, Wembley, turned out to be a whole new level of challenge. Crate training, obedience, potty training, and leash walking were all uphill battles. We enrolled her in the Dream Dog program just like we did with our first, and Lori not only trained Wembley but also coached us through the chaos of raising a spirited Husky puppy. In those exhausting early weeks with sleepless nights and endless accidents, she was our go-to lifeline, reminding us it would get better. And she was right. When Wembley first met Lori, she screamed with excitement for a full ten minutes. Not to be left out, our other Husky joined in, and suddenly we were living one of those wild TikTok Husky videos with two dogs howling in perfect sync. Lori never missed a beat. She calmly helped us settle them down and dove right into the work. Under her guidance, Wembley went from ignoring every cue to being laser focused during training sessions, excelling in obedience, and growing into the sweetest pup. We are so grateful that Lori has been part of both our dogs’ journeys. Her skill, patience, and support have been truly invaluable, and we cannot recommend her enough.Posted on Hannah SchwartzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori is amazing. She was so patient, kind, and knowledgeable with my toy poodle Lucy. I saw such a big improvement in Lucy’s behavior and confidence. Training with Lori was fun, effective, and such a great experience. We highly recommend! 🐾🩷Posted on Craig MallianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori is an absolutely amazing trainer. Her love and compassion for our dog Gage is evident in every session. Gage has made great strides quickly picking up commands due to Loris approach. Lori has also done a great job training us and helping us through the puppy months. I highly recommend Lori.Posted on Gayle LittlefieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori has been a great help with our puppy Abby. She is very good at what she does and has a lot of patience with pups and the owners. I recommend her services highly. Abby loves her!!Posted on Bruce GuarinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori Hill is a patient and deliberate dog trainer. Her consistent, positive reinforcement makes training easy for both dog and owner. I have an extremely large and powerful Bullmastiff puppy. She is 80 pounds at 6 months old. Lori has transformed her into a wonderful, well behaved pet.Posted on Susan KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough great things about Lori from Pawsitive Dog Training. From the first session, it was clear that she truly understands dogs and their unique personalities. My dog struggled with leash pulling, wining, and growling. Using Lori's suggestions, we have seen improvements in my dog's behavior. Lori's approach is patient, kind and tailored to the dog and the owner. She teaches you how to work with your dog to get the desired outcomes that you want. I am grateful for Lori for helping us to create a stronger bond with our dog and for making life easier and more enjoyable for both of us. I was very good at spoiling my dog which was creating many of the negative behaviors. Lori helped us to realize that we are in charge and that we need to reinforce this with our dog to get the results that we want. I highly recommend Pawsitive Dog Training for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dog trainer!Posted on Just Ask JenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori is amazing. We never thought we could accomplish all that we did in 3 sessions but we far exceeded what we thought was possible. Her knowledge, patience and calm approach was refreshing and encouraging to us. We highly recommend Lori for all things dog training.Posted on Todd ShawTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori’s kindness and support helped us help our little Indie. I Highly recommend her and her services.Posted on Amy EisenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lori is a great choice for a dog trainer and we highly recommend her. We met with her 2 times so far and she has helped us tremendously with working with our 4 year old dog jumping on people and also with her learning to come. Lori is very knowledgeable, patient and genuinely seems to really care. She makes the whole training experience seem pretty easy. And now we just have to practice, practice and practice.Posted on Franchezca PenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express enough gratitude and appreciation for Lori's exceptional care of my blind and diabetic dog, Tyson. From the moment I met Lori, I knew Tyson was in good hands. Her professionalism, trustworthiness, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. Not only did Lori handle Tyson's special needs with grace and expertise, but she also went above and beyond as an excellent trainer, helping Tyson learn new skills and behaviors. Lori's dedication to providing a safe and comfortable environment for Tyson was evident, and I was able to relax knowing that Tyson was in the best possible care. To any pet owner looking for a caring and reliable sitter or trainer, I highly recommend Lori. She is truly a gem and I am so grateful to have found her. Thank you, Lori, for your exceptional care and love for Tyson. You are truly the best!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
