“Training my Assistance dog
I have had two training sessions with Roodi. The first one was at my house so Roodi could see how my dog was behaving, what was good, not so good and needed work on. I took the advice and started to use it in my training sessions with my dog. A few weeks later we had a Zoom call to discuss how things had been going and what we should work on next. The session was excellent and very professional. I think it was better in some ways because my dog was not distracted by picking up the smell of Roodi’s dog on their clothes. As Roodi was explaining the next steps I learnt how to “charge the clicker” which happened very quickly, this is particularly important for me as I have a medical disorder that affects my voice making me almost inaudible. I am confident that with Roodi’s assistance I will be able to train me and my dog to allow her to become a good, happy and essential part of my life”
“I had been having a wonderful experience with Pawsitive Action. They were incredibly informative, approachable, and genuinely supportive from the first conversation. Their guidance has given me real hope and confidence in training my dog to become an assistance dog for my condition. They provided clear, appropriate information and made the whole process feel far less overwhelming. I truly appreciate their professionalism and kindness, and I highly recommend their services.”
