At Pawsitive Transformations my work is finding your dog's drive, using games and techniques that your pup finds fun. I will work with you, teaching you how to keep your dog's attention and engagement as your dog learns through positive reinforcement and successive approximation. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement. The other key factor is successive approximation. Shaping, or as it's formally known, “shaping by successive approximations,” means breaking down a behavior into tiny increments, and reinforcing the dog at each incremental step until you've achieved the full behavior.
