Positive Force Dog Training w Lilly has helped our 8lb Yorkie Buster sooo much. He broke his leg when he was little and it lead to a whole host of on leash aggression. We did all kinds of dog groups to help w this and Buster was always the star of the class because his issue is w stranger dogs once in a class these dogs are no longer strangers thus it did not really help us in the real world. Through the Art of Dog (his dog walkers) they told us about Lilly and at this point we were at our wits ends and had spent thousands of dollars w not much success. Positive Force owner Lilly was very detailed in her research going all the way back to talk to our breeder about Busters... read full review

When he bit the second time with no provocation it was either get help, or put him down. We had a consultation with Lilly, went over behavior and what we thought his problems were, plus what we'd like to achieve. Over the past 4-5 months Lilly has patiently gone through... read full review
