I have 2 dogs. A 6 year old pitbull and a mixed puppy. When I adopted the puppy, I wanted to take him to "obedience school" so he would be good. I also wanted to re-train our 6 year old so she could get rid of some of her problems that came with adopting a year and a half abused dog. I called a local obedience school and the class was closed for another month. And now I'm so thankful it was. Fate brought me to Ron and April at Pawsitive Vybe.

I don't know any other way to explain what happened next.other than LIFE CHANGING. Ron did an hour consultation with me and I left with a whole new view on dogs, and training. This isn't about obedience, this is about a lifestyle and making a better life for both you and your dogs. Sure, Ron & April can help you get your dog to "stop" whatever behaviors you want, but this is positive training with amazing results leading to a much happier dog, who wants to behave and work for you.

This is a hidden gem in Kingston NY and I'm so glad I found it. If you love your dog, this is how he should live. I'm sure of it. I am writing this review in hopes that I can point people in the right direction and make for a world of happier dogs!

I attended two of Pawsitive Vybe distance learning classes "Disc Dog Foundation" and "Bitework for Behavior". All I can say is AWESOME! Apryl and Ron shared their training experience with students, they made great lessons with video support, group chat, one to one skype chat. video assessment as feedback from each of us. Even I consider myself a good human and dog trainer, from them I learned new ways of approaching the canine behavior.

Some people are so lucky to have these guys in neighborhood, for me would mean to fly 13 hours. I never put my dogs on airplane cargo hold and I never will, but to spend a week with Ron and Apryl would be the only reason. If I recommend Pawsitive Vybe? Definitely YES!
