Testimonials
“Our golden retriever attended puppy school part 1, recently graduated part 2 and will commence part 3. The trainer, Rikki, was very knowledgeable on dog training and behaviour, hands-on during classes, always friendly, and worked at an appropriate pace for each puppy and owner. We also have one-on-one private training in our home with trainer Jill. She works brilliantly with our autistic daughter and understands how to meet her individual needs with training. We highly recommend Positive Response.”

“Thank you to Rikki, Dee, and all of the wonderful trainers at Positive Response. We’ve now completed all stages of group training classes and have had several in home consultations with Dee for our Sheepadoodle puppy and we have learned so much from her! Dee is professional, patient, knowledgeable and her passion for dog behaviour and training really shows. We’ve recently been on holidays and were extremely anxious about leaving our pup Cosmo, but he loved having Rikki for sleepovers while we were away. We were thrilled to receive daily messages, photos and videos of Cosmo and it was such a relief to know he was receiving such wonderful care. It was fabulous to go away knowing he was safe and comfortable in his own home environment. We really can’t recommend Positive Response highly enough. Thanks Dee and team for your ongoing support with Cosmo. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would!”

“We would recommend Positive Response Dog Training to anyone with a new puppy or anyone who has a dog with problems. It was such a good experience for us and our puppy. We haven't had a puppy for many years so it was good to have a refresher course. Rikki our trainer was wonderful. She was patient and explained everything very well. You can tell that Rikki loves her work and we felt very at ease with her. Having trained dogs in other ways I can honestly say Positive Response Training is the best way to go.”
