About Tara’s Pawsitive Dog Training, LLC

In-home training from Port Washington

Tara's Pawsitive Dog Training is based at 1489 W. 2nd Avenue in Port Washington and trains in your home or at a local location of your choice. It uses positive reinforcement and force-free methods. Appointments must be within a 25-mile radius of Port Washington, and the site lists towns in Ozaukee and Milwaukee counties, from Milwaukee's east side north to Belgium and Fredonia.

What it works on

The site lists general obedience, behavior modification, confidence building, resource guarding, reactivity, manners, potty training and fear-based issues for puppies and adult dogs. Common goals include loose-leash walking, impulse control, excessive barking, nipping and cues like sit, stay, come, leave it and drop it.

How it is structured

Training starts with an in-home evaluation, followed by private visits or a four-session pack. The Pawsitive University programs bundle more visits, and owners can attend the full session, stop in for part of it, or let the trainer work alone with video provided.

What to ask

Ask whether your town is inside the service area, which program fits your goals, and how support between sessions works. Appointments are by appointment only; include your city when you call, text or email.
