We have been a happy client for over 4 years, starting with puppy kindergarten and now daycare. The Pooch Pawsitive crew is terrific with our furry girl. The facilities and staff are top notch - safe, attentive, flexible, and professional.

Fantastic place to train your puppy and also to bring him for daycare. Great staff who really care about dogs and know what they are doing. I highly recommend them!

Pooch Pawsitive is the absolute best. I did a lot of research and wanted to give my dog the best possible. We came to puppy social, where my dog had so much fun while I got a refresher on dog-dog body language from Heidi. I also got to meet some of the other staff members, who were all attentive, knowledgeable about dog behavior, and really cared about my dog's comfort and success. My dog loves going to daycare at PP and thinks it's Disneyland every time. Meghan is incredible, as are the other staff members who take such good care of Taro. PP has a low staff:dog ratio to ensure that dogs are not only in a safe environment but are always continuing to practice manners and positive dog-dog interactions. Now that my dog is in canine adolescence, a very challenging developmental period, we are also doing Play and Train. Taylor and Meghan are excellent! Best of all, I've become friends with some of the other humans and we all think we are very lucky to be part of this community. Bonus: whoever runs the social media accounts are geniuses! I look forward to the updates even when it's not my dog's day at daycare.

Pooch Pawsitive is an amazing place! Dogs get socialized with each other as well as working with different people. The pups get excellent positive reinforcement training and fun play throughout the day. The people here are wonderful. I recommend all people with puppies do the Pooch Pawsitive puppy training program and send their dogs to daycare. They are truly the best here!

Took the puppy kindergarten classes with my new puppy. Instructors are great and very helpful. Facilities are excellent. Classes are flexible- so you can start anytime - and take the lessons in any order. Classes are offered both nights and weekends.We also attended puppy play - which I feel is more important than the classes as it helps to socialize the dogs. They have different levels for the sizes and play intensity. Highly recommended.

We absolutely love it here! From the moment we started with puppy socials and then puppy k basic manners to daycare, there really isn't a safer more enriching environment for my dog. Thank you everyone for making this our 2nd home.

I found Pooch Pawsitive through Yelp. I don't know the area (RI) well and have a new puppy. I have been taking Bowser to the puppy socials for the last couple weeks, he is a german shepherd but very small for his age (11 weeks) They divide the social up between ages and are very attentive to what's going on with the pups. Heidi is very nice and you can tell she really loves the dogs, which is super important to me. Bowser is having a great time and learning to be social. When he is older I would trust them to do daycare and other classes/ events. A great place!

The assistant trainers were very good. The owner and main trainer, Heidi, is good with dogs and bad with people. As another reviewer noted she can be rude. At a puppy social I attended she YELLED at clients twice and physically pushed me. The first time she yelled, the clients were simply recalling their dog when it was being pushy. I saw them do this at two previous socials. I was impressed with their recall. No trainers had ever told them not to. This time Heidi yelled at them in front of everybody. The next time she yelled was at me. I was trying to reach my dog to calm it down a bit. My dog and another dog had been picking on a smaller dog. We had to intervene with these dogs twice before doing that social. When I tried to reach my dog Heidi yelled at me and blocked me with her arm pushing me back a little. I was so surprised I didn't say anything. There are enough good trainers out there so I recommend avoiding this place.

Pooch Pawsitive is outstanding! Heidi and her caring , talented staff create a safe, supportive and fun environment for our dogs to play and learn. Heidi has created a community with resources for all dog lovers who can attend fun socials (that also tire your dog out !) and exceptional training classes. We just completed intermediate manners with trainer Taylor Fordham who made classes into games as she provided strategies to help our dogs learn. Her role plays really helped me learn too!Pooch Pawsitive is more like a community or family than a business! They love all our dogs and know them well. I feel so confident leaving my Astro with them. Astro and I are so happy we found Pooch Pawsitive ! The amazing people who work there make it special !

We are so grateful our neighbor told us about Pooch Pawsitive. As soon as we learned about their puppy socializations we started taking our pup there every Saturday morning we could until he aged out. It was instrumental exposure for our pup and so reassuring for us to be around other new puppy parents when were feeling overwhelmed by all things puppyhood.When we learned they also offer daycare and a puppy academy program we eagerly signed our dog up. Pooch Pawsitive has been such a fun and safe place for our dog. The staff always greet every dog personally and with enthusiasm and it is just so clear how much Heidi and the team care about giving dogs the best place to play, grow, and learn.Unfortunately as our offices open up again our commute and schedules are making it harder to be available to drop and pick up our dog during their hours of operation, but we are so appreciative of the time we had with Pooch Pawsitive and will be looking to send our pup there on our more flexible work days. Thank you to the staff and whole team for making our puppy feel so loved!
