Pawsitive Paws dog training is dedicated to helping educate dog owners on how to effectively communicate, train, and bond with their dog through gentle, fun and effective methods, based on scientific principles, using positive reinforcement training techniques.

We are passionate about dog training and hope to inspire others to use positive, fun and rewarding techniques to train their canine friends. We provide services in the San Diego East County area which include Puppy Socialization classes, Basic Training classes, Intermediate/CGC classes, Scent classes as well as custom and private Zoom sessions. Whatever your dog training needs are, we are here to help you! We look forward to working with you and your dog!

Jack’s journey with Pawsitive Paws has been nothing short of a tail-wagging success! He started as a puppy who thought 'Total Recall' was just a movie, and now he’s mastered (almost) every class Sharmon offers. From nailing Impulse Control to strutting his stuff in Leash and Community Manners, Jack’s transformation has been awesome to watch.

The Agility and Scent Games classes? Jack had SO much fun. But the real test of his training came when we brought home our baby last August. Thanks to Sharmon’s amazing program, Jack stays calmly on his bed—even when the baby turns mealtime into a floor buffet.

We can’t thank Sharmon enough for helping us build such a strong bond with Jack. If his Canine Good Citizen ribbon doesn’t say it all, his happy, well-behaved tail wags surely do! ~Jill
