When we adopted Tonka from the humane society this summer, we had no idea what we had
gotten ourselves into. My husband and I have raised labs all our lives, but nothing prepared us
for this five-year-old shoe and underwear eating machine! Tonka thought it was a game to take
and eat our cell phones and remote controls while we chased around the house. We were both
going crazy... until I called Tim.
At first my husband was less than sure about "positive" dog training (he was expecting some
hippie with a name like Osprey to show up), but Tim was everything we could have ever hoped
for and more. He is professional, friendly, and flexible, and has a great sense of humor. Tim
helped us change our unrealistic expectations in order to understand our dog's innate "dog-
ness". With simple and consistent routines, we quickly learned what Tonka needed, and helped
him to feel safe and comfortable in his new home.
Tim's techniques are not rocket science, but work because of his deep understanding of dogs on
the most simple level. They are social animals in search of their place in a pack. We have a
changed pet now, and have never had to raise our voices or use any kind of choke collars or
physical punishment.
Because of Pawsitively Pawssible, we absolutely LOVE our newest family member! In just a
couple of months, we have a different and well-behaved dog. I would highly recommend Tim to
anyone in search of an effective and enjoyable trainer for their pet.
