Rover & Wag

Rover and Wag are popular, cost effective (i.e. cheap) option for dog walking. What they lack is where we shine. With a cheap option like Rover or Wag, you have no guarantee of your dog's safety. Next time you think about using one of those services, imagine this. An untrained person you found on Rover is walking your dog. They encounter another dog who is aggressive. Will they have the skills to ensure your dog stays safe? We have trained and certified professionals who put the health and safety of your dog as the number one priority. For added piece of mind, we are fully covered if an incident were to occur by Pet Care Insurance.

"Difficult" dogs

There are some dog trainers who do not want to deal with "difficult" dogs. They may feel that these dogs are too challenging or that they do not have the skills to help them. However, Pawsitivly Simple is different. We believe that all dogs can be trained, regardless of their behavior. We focus on using positive reinforcement methods that are gentle and effective. Only when there is no other option do we consider other tools and techniques. We also work with the owners of these dogs to help them understand their dog's behavior and how to manage it.

Brenda was so helpful and informative during her visit with our puppy, Pink. She quickly and effectively taught us how to deliver training results with ease. She made it look easy! She was very patient with all our questions and you could tell her love for animals was evident.

We are so grateful for Brenda's help with our dogs. We have two older dogs and a golden retriever pup. Brenda is reliable, responsible, and according to our dogs, a lot of fun! We are especially appreciative for her guidance with our puppy, Piper. With our permission, Brenda has taken Piper on "adventures" to help build both her confidence and manners.

Brenda's expertise as a dog trainer was a game-changer for our stubborn Shiba Inus, Ryu and Ruby. Her personalized approach, patience and deep understanding of their behavior resulted in remarkable transformations. From basic commands to addressing specific behavioral issues, Brenda's guidance and positive reinforcement techniques yielded impressive results. We are forever grateful for her exceptional training skills, and we highly recommend her services to all dog owners.

Diesel
Diesel

Words cannot describe how lucky we are to have met Brenda! Diesel not only has received proper training that has enormously helped him with daily triggers, but more importantly love and care! Brenda geniunely cares about all the pups she encounters like her own. Diesel, a rescue pitty full of anxiety, had trouble controlling his excitement, which would turn into jumping, nipping, and overstimulation. Brenda worked hard with Diesel to control his emotions and redirect his behavior. If you're looking for one of a kind, professional, trustworthy, caring and sincere tainier look no further! THE BEST is right here!

Roc
Roc

Brenda is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of my pup. Anytime I have to travel out of town, I know I can rely on Brenda to give Roc the best care. She goes above and beyond while treating Roc like her own. He loves their adventures to his favorite Forest Preserve and pet store. At this point, I think he prefers when I'm out of town. She sends me updates and great quality pictures daily while I'm away. I hate leaving my big man behind on trips, but have no worries or stress thanks to Brenda. 11/10 recommend
