About Pawsitive K9 Trainer

What they offer

Pawsitive K9 Trainer is the business of Tammy Smith, a CPDT-KA trainer who lives in Overland Park. Private lessons take place in the client's home, usually on weekends. Behavior walks start with the trainer and dog alone so problems can be assessed and worked one-on-one, and then the owner joins to learn the solutions; the site says at least four walks are usually needed to see progress.

Other services

Consultations run an hour to an hour and a half and cover the dog's history and the problem at hand. The trainer designs customized training plans, and offers a weekend board and train for established clients, plus pet sitting.

About the trainer

The site says Tammy studied psychology, worked at a veterinary hospital for an animal behaviorist, and has certified therapy dogs and a reading education assistant dog. She competes in nosework with her own dog.
