About Pawsitive Pup Training

Pawsitive Pup Training is a Wilmington business at 2517 Park Avenue whose published headline is "Certified Positive Dog Training & Education in Wilmington, NC". The site is written in the first person by Lainie Johnston, CCDT.

What they publish

The service menu is obedience and manners, puppy training, aggression and fear, dog boarding and training, and dog training for parents and kids. The last is unusual and is the business's own emphasis: as "a licensed educator for Family Paws Parent Education", the trainer says she is "uniquely qualified in the Wilmington area to help educate expecting families and those with young children".

How it works

Every training and coaching program starts with a one-hour consultation. After that, clients choose day training or coaching sessions "based on your lifestyle and the needs of your pup". The preferred format is reward-based in-home work, which the site says suits "those wanting in-depth education and one-on-one attention in your dog's daily living environment". The stated specialty is force-free training.

Published prices

Initial consultation $125; single sessions after the initial $100; a package of five sessions $450; a package of ten $900. A travel fee may apply beyond a certain distance from the office.
