Positively Pups Dallas, Texas

Victoria is amazing! We got our first dog, a morkiepoo named Fred. We did all the reading and had decided on a board and train package before Fred even came home but when we got him, we quickly realized we were completely out of our depths on dog ownership. I’m the short 4 weeks at home, Fred became a slightly panicky puppy and nothing we tried working. Fred went for a four week board and train with Victoria and the difference has been staggering. Fred is still very much a puppy, but he is far from the panicky insecure pup he was when he left. He is much calmer now, after a few nights, we see he is absolutely crate trained, he doesn’t jump nearly as much, hasn’t had accidents in the house and is just all around a more self aware and in control pup. In the meantime, Victoria has been super responsive to all of our never ending questions and always available to advise. I can’t say enough good things about Victoria and her dog training. Thank you so much Victoria!

Victoria is absolutely amazing!!! From the moment I spoke with her on the phone for the first time until the day I picked my Kodi up, she was awesome. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and her love for them is so evident. I am so pleased with the results. My Kodi is doing so wonderful! He is fully trained and a totally different puppy. He was with her for 3 weeks and everything I was concerned about she handled. She took such great care of my puppy and I would recommend her to any and everyone. If you are looking for a great trainer look no further.

If you are looking for a positive reinforcement trainer who is kind (to dogs and to people), experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy with your fur baby, then look no further than Victoria at Positively Pups. I thought I was bringing a very challenging situation to her: 2 puppies (can be challenging), who are littermates (a whole new set of challenges) and adolescents ("forgot" everything I tried to teach them since they were babies), intact males (wow! definitely adds another layer of difficulty!) and under socialized with people and dogs (pandemic pups). Add it all together and you can imagine the challenges I had with them, but Victoria was undaunted. She handled them with ease and made such a huge impact in their behavior after doing a board and train. I had a previous trainer suggest one of my dogs maybe needed to be medicated over his anxieties (which is fine if really necessary) but she never really tried anything concrete to help him. Victoria understood the problem right away and took clear steps to help my dog resolve his anxiety and now he's a sweet, self confident little pup. Also, she's very mindful about how she introduces dogs to each other which means so much if you have a little shy guy like mine. Now he plays happily with his new fur friends and both of my boys get VERY excited when I tell them they are going to see Victoria! That means so much, and I'm really so happy I found her! Thank you, Positively Pups!

Victoria is truly amazing. We had our first in home session with her to help us with our fearful pup who can hardly sit still he is so anxious. She is so kind and gentle and actually uses positive reinforcement training. Many trainers claim to use "positive" training methods but fall short, Victoria does not. Our pup is already warming up to her, which says a lot! She has already spent so much time providing helpful tips and given us a laundry list of things to try before our next session. I can tell she truly cares and wants to help our family. We can't wait to continue working with her more. I would highly recommend her for any training needs!

Victoria is amazing. Her love for dogs is evident. We left our large bread with her for a month. She was given plenty of affection and training. When a uti popped up, Victoria took her for proper medical care when needed. Lovely people!

We began researching board and train options for our rescue puppy who was super smart but had some biting/aggression/anxiety issues we wanted some professional help with. After looking at the MANY options in the area, we were certain that we wanted a trainer who had a positive training philosophy instead of one who used fear-based techniques. We are so glad we found Victoria! We liked the idea of our puppy being in a comfortable, home environment for her training, rather than a kennel-like training facility. When we got her back, she was a different puppy! Not only were the biting and aggressive behaviors gone, but she was so much more calm! Our older dog, who is 10 times bigger but totally afraid of her, can now relax around her. We are so grateful to have peace and calm in our home again! Would highly recommend Victoria to anyone who needs help with difficult behaviors as well as anyone who just wants to give their puppy a good training foundation!

Victoria did a fantastic job with our 6 month old basset hound. She's responsive, professional, and got the job done. Winston, our dog, does have some work to do but since coming home he has no problem with potty training and the commands: - sit - drop - leave it - wait - stop biting - let's go - go potty - outside - Look He's lost a few commands that he learned but that's because we haven't been able to follow up with what Victoria accomplished. The weather has prohibited us the past two weeks from taking 30 minutes outside. We do plan on going to the 3 free follow up sessions. I have never sent any of my other dogs to training and therefore can't compare my experience but I will be referring Positively Pups to my friends in the future. Awesome job!

Victoria is one of the very best for training that puppy or dog. She is so loving with the puppy and knowledgeable about how to get them to mind. Izzy is a rescue and big! now 8 months and at least 75 pounds so we needed to really get a handle on her. We've learned so much on how to work with her. You won't be sorry if you choose Victoria to help you out!

We have 4 rescue dogs and Victoria has loved them all and worked with them all as if they were her own! Even in the first 5 min of a consultation, my pittie was obeying and doing trained things that I had never seen her do! Her methods are EXACTLY as advertised...positive and successful. And she is also so responsive when we have other random inquiries about how to help our puppers. We love Positively Pups!

Victoria kept my puppy during the crucial potty training a socialization phases. It was a HUGE help to me as I live alone and work during the day. I picked up a well behaved dog who already has the basics down. I will send every new puppy I …

Positively Pups is amazing! We’ve been working with Victoria to help train our new dog and she has been so incredibly helpful not only with training our dog, but also with training us! She has taught both me and my children how to work with our new dog to easily continue the training when she is not around.

This is an AMAZING woman! I bought a Yorkie (had to put my 11 yr old Yorkie to sleep Oct 2016) and my new Yorkie ended up being so much more hyper than my last (which also was also the first one I've ever owned). I still have an 8 yr old …

Thus far, we've had 1 session with Victoria, and it couldn't have been any better! We hired her after attaining a little psycho dog just 2 days prior to having called Victoria. I found her online, one of the only dog behavior therapists, …

She is so great with our dog! She is incredibly friendly and you can tell she really knows what she is doing! Our dog is incredibly anxious and she was able to get through to him and make him calm down as well as teach us some very helpful techniques in how we can reach him too. I can't recommend her enough!

Victoria is an amazing dog trainer! Her rapport with puppies as well as their owners is excellent. She worked simultaneously with both my puppies and they were very well trained afterwards. During a very productive one on one session, she …

I HIGHLY recommend Victoria for all things dog training! When I adopted my dog, he was two and had been severally abused. He would roll over and pee on himself whenever he saw a stranger, had no self confidence and was terrified of the …

I have used Victoria for years to help train our dogs. She is super skilled and used a gentle method with our "kids" that made our training painless. I love the way she loves animals and knows their love language. I would recommend her to anyone that loves their furry friends!!!
