Pawsitive Transformations, LLC specializes in dog training, with a particular focus on separation anxiety. They offer virtual training programs that allow clients from anywhere to get help for their dogs. The process begins with an online questionnaire, followed by a free 30-minute discovery call, to tailor the training to each dog's needs. The trainer, Bob, is highly knowledgeable, professional, and approachable, providing personalized support and guidance throughout the training process. Many clients praise Bob for his ability to understand dog behavior and tailor methods to each dog's specific needs. He is patient, steady, and dedicated, helping dogs and their owners work through separation anxiety with a slow but effective approach. Clients have reported significant progress, such as being able to leave their dogs alone for longer periods—up to 90 minutes—without anxiety or the need to constantly check on them. Bob also helps with other behavioral challenges, like reactivity to strangers, by explaining cues and adjusting expectations to set dogs up for success. Owners appreciate Bob's support at every step, from understanding their dogs’ fears to providing tips for managing and reducing anxiety. His humor and professionalism make the training experience positive and encouraging. Overall, Pawsitive Transformations is highly recommended for anyone dealing with anxious or reactive dogs, especially those seeking flexible, virtual help from a skilled trainer dedicated to improving the lives of dogs and their owners.
Bob was a pleasure to work with and really helped our dog overcome his separation anxiety. I would highly recommend working with him.

We were blessed to have Bob guide us on our journey with Colt through separation anxiety! His approach, based on Malena DeMartini’s science-based methods, is positive, with a focus on building a solid relationship with your dog. We are not yet at the finish line, but we have made great progress, thanks to Bob!

Bob Ryder helped our dog Bruno - and us - recover from separation anxiety. Bob is always knowledgeable, professional, and of good humor. This combination was just right for us and we are grateful.
