… your dog comfortable around visitors

… a relaxing walk without barking and lunging at cars

…knowing what to do if things start to ‘go south’

… being strong enough to advocate for your dog

Whatever your dream, it begins with reaching out for help.

We know how challenging it can be living with a dog who cannot handle everyday events calmly and logically. It can be emotionally draining, creating fractures in the bond you share with your dog and friction in your family life.

We get it. We have lived it.

With over 19 years of experience and countless hours of education dedicated to studying dog behavior, we are confident in our ability to provide exceptional training services.

When you're looking for an experienced dog trainer who prioritizes pain-free techniques to foster well-behaved and confident dogs, Positive Rewards Dog Training is your top choice on Martha's Vineyard.

If you have any concerns about your dog's behavior, we would be happy to help you find solutions.

We suggest setting up an appointment for a Behavioral Consultation, which costs $150.00. During the consultation, we can discuss your concerns and provide suggestions on how to bring peace back into your life, as well as reduce stress for your dog.
You should plan on reserving about a 2-hour window in your calendar for our meeting.

Congratulations and welcome!
You have taken the first step on an amazing new journey with your dog.

This is your next guide point.

If we haven't spoken to you by phone, kindly check your email for our response. It will contain crucial information that we want to ensure you have received. If you're still waiting for our email and it has been over 12 hours, please check your spam folder, too.

Inside the email is confirmation of our appointment and a link to a quick and easy online life history questionnaire about your dog.
Answering the questions will take about 10 minutes, but your responses are valuable. They will help us begin to craft a customized training plan that's tailored to your dog's unique needs.

We are thrilled to start working with you and your furry friend, and we cannot wait to see the progress you'll make together.

This session is not just a simple Q/A meeting, but a crucial step in understanding your specific needs and objectives. We will take the time to learn more about your concerns and goals, and also assess your dog's comfort level when working with us. Through this process, we can ensure that we tailor our services to meet your unique requirements and provide the best possible support for you and your dog.

The Behavioral Consultation: let’s take a detailed look at your dog’s history and start planning. This meeting will last about 2 hours, so plan on reserving the time on your calendar. The cost is $150.00 which includes a written summary, outlining some options for your consideration.
Now, that we have studied your questionnaire and with a clear understanding of your concerns, we are ready and eager to get started.

One day prior to your scheduled appointment, we will send you a reminder along with some information about the consultation. Don’t forget that we will probably need the full 2 hours for our meeting.

Read the contained information carefully as it will include instructions on how we would like to meet your dog, as well as a general timeline of topics.
Please note that this is not a criticism of your dog's training, but rather an opportunity for us to get to know your dog and to see how comfortable they are with us.

We will provide you with an estimate of the cost, as well as the number of training sessions we propose so that you can plan your finances and time according.

Whether you choose to an option of managing your dog with additional recommendations from us, or ask to have a detailed behavior modification plan created, we are happy to assist you and your dog.

Our magical journey begins.
We have faith in you and your dog working together as a team, and our aim is to assist you both in leading a more peaceful life.

Everyone begins with our Behavior Modification Working Foundations Module 1, which is available at two pricing levels.
