Positive Paws | The Pet Center For Your Family

We have always loved working with people and animals. Beyond training, we look for ways to provide positive methods that help to improve the quality of life for humane and canine family members. We provide Aquatic Treadmill, TTouch and Reiki balancing and animal communication. It is the combination of applying these techniques that provides a well-rounded center to help your pet.

I have 5 dogs, 4 of which have done the more traditional “yank and pull” training and one who has done clicker training with Carla at Positive Paws. Kanga is a chow/sheltie/shepard mix and is a “fear” based dog. She was very skiddish when we brought her to Carla and we worried she might possibly be aggressive because of the bad reputation chows have. She went through classes at Positive Paws and was at her daycare for over a year. Carla did an amazing job with her. Kanga is extremely good with both our children (5 years old and 17 months) and is the most gentle of all 5 dogs when we give them treats..

Chance, our German Shepherd, lost use of his hind legs due to a bad disk in his lower back. He had surgery to remove the bad disk and would require extensive exercise to learn how to walk again. Since surgery, Chance has been visiting Carla at Positive Paws to undergo underwater treadmill exercise. This program has been greatly beneficial to Chance in helping him to walk again. He is now walking and continues to do underwater treadmill exercise in order to build even stronger muscles. In addition, he is losing excess weight due to the intense exercise the treadmill provides. Furthermore, Carla’s knowledge and understanding of what is needed for him to progress has helped greatly for her to modify each session to what is in Chance’s best interest.

Also, during his recovery, Chance had been boarded for a week with Positive Paws as a special needs dog. At Positive Paws, he was able to received the care and continue the rehabilitation he needed to keep mobile and move forward in his progress towards getting stronger. We didn’t have to worry about being away and moving backwards in his progress since he was in such good hands. In addition, he came back happy and seem well adjusted during his time away.
