What Our Clients Are Saying

"Finding a trainer in Tucson can be overwhelming and I’m glad I found Rebecca. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and you can tell she LOVES her job (almost as much as my dogs love her.) If you’re on the fence about booking training of any kind - do it. It’s worth it! You’ll learn just as much about yourself as your dog will about how to act. My dog has been with her since puppy class!"

Jess J.

"I have nothing but great things to say about Start Pawsitive dog training! We started taking our dog Otis when he was about six months old, and we have seen a tremendous difference! Rebecca has been very patient with Otis and very helpful teaching us how to train through positive reinforcement. Otis is a big fan of Rebecca, and so are we!"

Madison Z.

"Rebecca provides a really well structured class that has helped give my fearful dog structure and confidence in herself. After just 6 classes in the intermediate course, me, and my family, have noticed great strides in the mental and physical health of my sweet girl. She's 5 years old and was so receptive to the training and Rebecca can tailor it to fit your dog's needs."

Elizabeth M.

"Rebecca taught me better ways to train my dogs. After the first lesson with my two dogs I saw a noticeable improvement in their behaviors and listening to my commands. The steps she showed us are now routine in our daily lives. Looking forward to the next lesson."

Carl Templin

"We highly recommend Rebecca for puppy training! We did two private lessons for puppy training for our 14 week old puppy. We noticed a difference in everything she recommended and taught us to do in 24 hours! We are so thankful for all we have learned in just two lessons. We can’t wait to do more group training with her!"
