At Start Pawsitive Dog Training, Rebecca combines her personal passion with professional expertise to guide Tucson’s dog owners in building better bonds with their pets through positive, evidence-based training methods.
Rebecca’s love for animals started early when she convinced her parents to keep a classroom chick—and quickly grew into a lifelong passion that led her to a career in the veterinary field. After adopting a reactive parvovirus survivor, Rebecca immersed herself in behavior modification, discovering the power of positive reinforcement training. This personal journey inspired her to become a certified training partner through the Karen Pryor Academy.
With hands-on experience and formal education, Rebecca uses positive, evidence-based techniques to help dogs and their owners overcome behavioral challenges. Her approach is rooted in compassion, aiming to equip owners with the skills they need to raise confident, well-behaved companions.
