Who We Are ?
We Love Your Dog, Just as You Do!
I am Lori Hill, the owner of Pawsitive Dog Training (PDT). After a very successful but unfulfilling career as an accountant, I began looking for ways to focus my energies in a more gratifying way. After spending some time volunteering with animal shelters and dog rescues, I adopted my two spinal-injury miniature dachshunds in 2006 and began training them immediately. They excelled and became certified therapy dogs in 2008 and 2009. My dachshunds have since passed over the Rainbow Bridge and now I have a Brittany who is excelling in barnhunt and scentwork. They inspire me everyday to be my best. PDT wholeheartedly supports adoption and a portion of the proceeds go to a local rescue group www.getalifepetrescue.com

Lori was a great dog trainer for our Ginger, and for us. She gave positive reinforcement and corrective action when needed. Came to our home and also had a session at the dog park. We appreciate her gentle approach. We are more aware of what works and how to handle Ginger when interacting with other dogs and humans.Posted on Google![]()

Lori has been amazing in helping us with our puppy Jimi. She has such a calm and reassuring presence, and she really takes the time to understand the dog and adjust the training to what works best for him. She is very knowledgeable and professional but also approachable and always quick to respond whenever we need help. She has taught us so many new things about how to better understand and work with Jimi, and we saw a huge improvement in a very short time. We’re so grateful for her help and highly recommend her!Posted on Google![]()

I highly recommend Lori and her dog training services. We have a very energetic 60 lb. Goldendoodle and we were having a lot of difficulty especially with leash walking and listening to basic commands. After our sessions with Lori, there is a huge improvement and I feel confident taking my dog out in public, encountering other people and dogs, and with leash walking in general. She was extremely responsive and reliable and met all of our needs. She has a very patient, positive approach with both dogs and people. She's a great trainer for anyone looking for one!!Posted on Google![]()

I knew the first time I met Lori, she was the right walker for my feisty four-legged fur-angel, Fozzie 🥰 And Foz even told me herself! Lori sends me updates via text after every walk and goes the extra mile with treats and meals, as needed. She is on top of it, so I don’t forget to schedule a walk. Fozzie appreciates it, too! I highly recommend Lori and Pawsitive Dog Training for all your special pet’s needs!Posted on Google![]()

I had a very good experience with Lori training my puppy Paxton. Shortly after I adopted him at 9 weeks old and 11 lbs, it became clear that he was going to be a lot larger than I had anticipated. I was overwhelmed and concerned that I would not be able to handle him. He is now 6 months old and 45 lbs! I met Lori through a referral from my groomer. Right from our first meeting, it was clear that she was experienced and knowledgeable and would be able to help me. We work together in her 9 visit program, and I feel much more comfortable and confident with Paxton. Lori was very helpful and I am thankful to have worked with her. I also appreciate her flexibility and the convenience of training 1/1 in my own home. I highly recommend Lori!Posted on Google![]()

Lori is awesome. She’s reliable, communicative, professional people like her and dogs love her. She’s the dog whisperer. In just a few weeks of training, our dog LuLu was able to sit, paw, and drive our full self driving Tesla on her own.Posted on Google![]()
Mark Wexler9 April 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Lori is one of the best trainers we have ever been involved with. We are grateful to have had Lori help us with our beloved dog, Cooper. What makes Lori special is her ability to assess the needs of the dog and equally important, the needs of the dog owners. Training is only successful when both the dog and dog owners are trained together and Lori is unique in her ability to accomplish both.Posted on Google![]()

Lori was so helpful with our new puppy. She taught the entire family how to work with him. Even when our formal training sessions ended, she has still been there for us with any questions that may arise. Highly recommend Lori!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified that these reviews were published on Pawsitive Dog Training's Google Business Profile. Learn more
