Pawsitive Dog Training Calgary

Strengthen your bond with your pup, learn basic cues, and achieve a more peaceful, harmonious home with Pawsitively’s Pooched’s Pawsitive K9 Foundations dog training Calgary. 


Ever come home to a mess your pooch has made? Need some help improving your dog’s behavior? Looking to achieve a more balanced and harmonious relationship with your dog? Teaching them what is and what isn’t okay with a professional trainer helps to keep both of you happy and helps you to feel more fulfilled in your relationship with your pet.

Pawsitively Pooched dog training Calgary uses positive reinforcement so your dog wants to listen to you, rather than fearing what will happen if they don’t. This helps in so many ways, but the biggest thing is building a stronger bond with your dog. The more time you spend training your dog, or letting us train your dog, the stronger the loving, faithful bond will be with your furry four-legged best friend! 


This program is for you and your canine companion if your pup has no prior dog training, or you’d like to brush up on basic cues. It is so, so, so important to begin training your pup as soon as they’re introduced to your home, and as early as possible. However, we do help train adult dogs, as well!

Training Classes

Pawsitive Reinforcement

Our mission for you is to help you build a strong bond with your dog, helping both you and your dog to reach your full potential. We want your dog to enjoy living with you and ease the stress of domestic life. You also want your dog to listen to you because they genuinely want to; not because they fear what will happen if they don’t listen to you. 


Positive reinforcement is rewarding the dog using food, compliments, and pets when they do a good thing, like sitting, staying, or responding to you when you call their name. The opposite is punishing them, treating them harshly, or trying to establish “dominance” over the dog. This “human dominance” approach has never worked for us, and we believe it doesn’t work for anyone, regardless of how “aggressive” the breed of your dog may be. 


This philosophy and set of techniques work better, last longer, and are much safer for everyone involved. Let’s work together using positive reinforcement so you can have a happy pooch that wants to listen to you!

Benefits of Training Your Pooch with an Expert

Build Better Behavior

Do you find your dog walking you, rather than the other way around? Are they just not listening when you tell them to drop something, or the way they greet you is a little less than polite? Our dog training is absolutely for you! We focus on basic canine behaviors that will teach your dog how to respect you and your home. This way, they’re a part of your family, rather than a nuisance or embarrassment when your friends and family come to visit.

Avoid Frustration & Lower Stress

This is true for both you, and your dog! Dogs are sensitive to your emotional state, so they’ll know if and when you’re frustrated with them. No one wants to consider their dog a nuisance, or to feel embarrassed by their dogs behaviors. Pawsitively Pooched’s dog training Calgary helps your dog cope with domestic life. By helping your dog learn these basic behaviors, they understand how to live in your home, and they’ll be deterred from frustrating behaviors like destroying things or not listening to your commands.

Build a Better Relationship & Bond

What were your goals when you got your dog? Were you looking for a loyal companion? Were you looking for someone to help keep you safe? When you invest in training your dog with us, we’re building that relationship in a positive manner so you can achieve those goals. This way, you’re excited about spending time with your dog, just like they’re excited to spend time with you! You’re working on cultivating a loving relationship, and that’s an amazing experience for everyone involved.

Have Fun & Keep Their Brain Active

Spending time with your dog should not be stressful! There are so many beautiful parts of owning a dog; that relationship is the reason we started our business! It’s supposed to be fun, and it’s supposed to be something you look forward to. As your dog gets older, it becomes more and more important to keep them active, healthy, and attentive. Training them with a professional helps to keep that relationship fun and to keep your pooch healthy for years to come.
