Our Trainer - Tracey Hagan
Behavior problems in dogs can be anything but easy to deal with. Frustration, anger, fear, anxiety, and sadness can begin to take over and take the fun out of having a dog as a family member. With over 13 years of experience, I can help you solve your dog's problems and get your life back!
I start by doing a consultation with you so that I can:
1) Gain clarity of underlying issues that is causing
the dog's behavior
2) Implement strategies to eliminate the problem
behavior immediately, and
3) Design a long-term behavior change plan to
teach your dog how to happily behave forever.

"I recommend Pawsitive Purpose based on my dog Willa's progress. She's a German shepherd puppy and needed and needs help with her fear of dogs. She has come a long way in just 8 weeks of training with Tracey! You guys are the best and thank you!" - Amanda H.
