Bessey's Positive Paws

I am so grateful for finding Erin Bessey of Bessey’s Positive Paws . Her knowledge and support has made all the difference in working through some challenges I had with my puppy. My puppy had an extreme obsession with eating dirt from the age of 2 months old. She would swallow so much dirt and grass as fast as she could and end up vomiting. Erin had some very valuable insights and with lots of hard work for the last 3 -4 months we have been able to work through this using only positive reinforcement and now she goes outside and we can enjoy playing without any issues. The transformation is absolutely amazing. I am so happy that I worked with Erin, I don’t think I would have fixed this issue without her knowledge and guidance. If I had any questions between sessions she was accessible and

What a gift to have Erin work one-on-one with me and our Labrador puppy, Roger. Besides “standard” training and lots of tips and answered questions, Erin is a personable resource who keeps on giving. I high recommend using Erin and Bessey’s Positive Paws. I found her from my vet’s office because they recommend her too!!

I highly recommend Bessey’s PositivePaws. We looked into multiple trainers and feel so good about our decision. We were ultimately drawn to Erin because of her philosophy of positive reinforcement and clicker training. We found great success even with a dog we adopted with known behavior and obedience issues, not to mention a breed known for being stubborn and not listening. With Erin’s expertise, training methods, and intuitive understand of dogs, we successfully learned how to get our dog to follow instructions such including our big issue of resource guarding. I feel thatI have such a better relationship and built up more trust with my dog than when I started. I now feel equipped with to handle challenges ahead thanks to Erin’s direction.

Erin was patient, professional, and always explained the “why” behind each technique, which helped me feel confident continuing the training at home. She used positive reinforcement methods that are both effective and kind. My Molly loved her training with Erin. I highly recommend her.

Erin Bessey of Bessey's Positive Paws was excellent!! She gave me so many great tips and helped me train my 3 year old goldendoodle. It's not magic, but real training techniques that make a difference. Thanks, Erin! Highly recommend.
