About Paw2Paw “Paw”sitive Dog Training

Positive training in Gober

Paw2Paw "Paw"sitive Dog Training is based in Gober, about 60 miles northeast of Dallas, and run by Jonna Spiller, CPDT-KA. Its philosophy is that all dogs can learn through positive methods given clear communication and enough time, and that dogs behave in ways that work for them and make them feel safe. Jonna, a high school math teacher for 30 years and a three-time district Teacher of the Year, graduated from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy in April 2021 with academic distinction, earned her CPDT-KA in March 2024 and belongs to the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. She specializes in basic and advanced obedience and has trained therapy dogs.
