"My husband and I took our adopted pit bull to Laura's obedience l and ll classes. We were amazed at the wonderful changes in her behavior after just two sessions. Laura taught us better ways to encourage desired behaviors and discourage unwanted ones. Positive Way dog training helped us raise a faithful, attentive dog that we are proud to take on walks around our town. I recommend her to the many people who compliment us on our delightful dog. "

"They have turned their passion into their business. That is the recipe for success. I very much appreciate the positive methods used to help train my dogs. It's proven. I have taken both my dogs here and they are both extremely well behaved. In fact, one is a certified therapy dog making weekly visits with me to a local nursing home. There is no better testimonial for Positive Way Dog Training than that. Simply Wonderful."

"I feel that Positive Way's Laura Rescoe has taught me to keep my dog, Layla, physically and mentally active. Positive Way is the perfect name for Laura's business because she gives constant encouragement & never gives up on a dog or an owner. Because of our obedience training, Layla & I enjoy visiting nursing homes each month. If you are considering training for your dog, I'm "positive" you'll love Positive Way! Thank you Laura!!"

"Laura is a great trainer! She has helped me to train my German Shepherd Dog, Scout, for work as a therapy dog. Laura is very knowledgeable about dogs and has been able to help me through some training problems I was having with my dog. In addition to the classes I have taken with Laura, I have also attended Laura's dog park class and dogie day care which I highly recommend."

"We worked with Positive Way with two high energy adopted shelter dogs. At Positive Way, the focus is on teaching the trainer/owner more than training the dog. The results are immediate and useful. I would recommend this service to anyone who wishes to train their dog or anyone who wants to learn more about dogs before adopting."

Her training is practical and makes a great deal of sense when it comes to creating a bond between dog and owner. Willow, my eight-month old Lab continues to improve and impress others. Thanks Laura - from the both of us!"

"My Sarah and I love training with Laura. Laura gives us the individual attention we need to work on some of the details and special training skills for Rally obedience. We always have fun because the atmosphere is so positive and Sarah just thrives on the motivation, rewards, and happy activities that are incorporated into the training. Since training with Laura she already has her Level 1 title and is 2/3 finished with her Level 2. "

"Positive Way Dog Training is terrific. Our dog, Malachi, has been through a ton of Laura's classes and he has learned so much. Plus, he attends the dog daycare every week on Tuesday and has so much interacting with other dogs. He just adores Laura and gets so excited when he knows he is going to either class or daycare. "

"Positive Way is the best because Laura is so caring. I feel that she loves our Abby almost as much as my husband and I do. Training positively is so much fun for Abby, and she loves to learn. She was one year old when we adopted her and had some issues to overcome. She is now a wonderful addition to the family. She looks forward to further training and loves to do her "homework." "

- Judy Julie

 

"Laura is a great trainer and very knowledgeable in adjusting training techniques for dogs with "reactive/nervous" issues. Classes are affordable and I like how some are only for 4 weeks at a time - easy to commit to when you are busy! My dog loves her & I love the classes offered."

- Maureen LeBlanc

 

"I am from Ann Arbor and take my special breed of a dog to Positive Way in Belleville. They know about all breeds.

An absolute fun group. Worth the trip."

"I have a 5 month old American Bulldog, Gracey. We have been taking her to the Positive Way Dog Training classes, Laura Roscoe is our trainer. I can't believe how Gracey is catching on to this type of training. I know that she, and I still have allot to learn, but it is actually fun to do! Laura is very friendly, patient, and supportive. I can see that she really loves working with us and our very special companions."

- Diane Tardif

"My dog loves the training!"

- Susan Bradley

 

"Laura at Possitive Way Dog Training has an approach that suits any dog. She educates the owner to understand a dog's behavior and why the think the way that they do and do the things that they do. She then instructs how to change bad behaviors and develop good ones. This was, to me, was incredibly valuable as I now know how to continue beyond her teachings as I now know what makes a dog 'tick'."

- Leon Carpenter

 

"The classes are fun and use positive based training. The doggies always have a great time."

- Elaine Engstrom

 

"I took my 9 year old Maltese for basic classes. I just wanted her to become a bit more comfortable around other dogs. Laura confidence was transmitted not only to my little dog, but to all the other puppies in the class. Laura has a "keen sense" of what a dog's needs are. Also, there is a lot of follow-up classes and careful supervision at the dog park. My little Tiffany did learn a lot...and so did I. Thank you Laura so much..."

- Margaret Phillips

 

"The trainers are very kind and patient. They are excellent in training dogs and people. I took 4 classes with them during my dog's first year of life. The advice and training they offered allowed me to have a well mannered and socialized puppy."

""Positive Way Dog Training" has definitely been a huge accomplishment and great success for my dog, a Shiba Inu. As you may know, these dogs tend to be very independent and stubborn at times, but thanks to Laura and her wonderful training, she has made my dog not like the rest. Laura is a great trainer, one of the best!"

- Nathan Mazur

 

"Laura taught my puppy (who was a BAD puppy) how to behave and she made it so easy and was never mean to the dogs. My puppy, Abby, was barking throughout the whole class and bothering the other dogs and she never got upset and taught me great ways to deal with the bad behavior. Everyone who comes to visit says our dog is the best behaved dog ever and it's because of the puppy class we took."

- Bobbie Jones
