Positive Approach Dog Training & Daycare is a local small business with 20 years of experience and is the number one vet-referred training center in the Tacoma area. It provides a safe, well-staffed daycare floor. Reviews show that dogs, including small, anxious, or reactive rescue dogs, get excited to go there. They make friends, bond with the kind and friendly staff, receive unimaginably kind love and attention, and get plenty of exercise. Owners are very happy with their experience, highly recommending the service for daycare and boarding, noting it is worth every cent. The staff answers all questions and provides follow-up updates, giving worried owners great trust in the care. Dogs also do well using the on-site grooming services. For training, a specific trainer is highlighted as amazing, able to teach tricks quickly and providing effective private lessons with great attention to detail and moral support. This training makes a big difference, especially for dogs with reactive behavior, and provides important progress and solutions for their owners.
I took my puppy here for basic dog training and had a great experience. Robin was thorough, very knowledgeable and took the time to work with each dog and their owner evaluating both of us (dog and owner) and giving us great feedback and items to work and improve on. Would highly recommend.
