Trust. Healing. Connection.

Pawsitive Spirit is the leader in providing Integrative Holistic Health Care, Wellness and Training for people and their pets! 

We are proudly recommended by  Veterinarians, Breeders, Rescue Groups and hundreds of happy clients! 

The goal of our personalized coaching programs is to build strong, loving and healthy relationships – through training based on TRUST not FEAR! We don’t train by force. Our training philosophy is to set up our dogs for success and make learning a pawsitive, fun and rewarding experience. We teach you how to connect and communicate effectively with your dog, resulting in a harmonious working relationship.

Our approach is unique. We recognize that our animals have emotions and experiences that often result in misunderstanding, training issues and undesirable behaviors. This can also manifest as pain in our animal’s bodies. Training sessions may involve the integration of various bodywork techniques to ensure your dog is physically, mentally and emotionally able to respond to your requests and fully connect with you.

We Blend the Joy of Working with Animals with the Healing Power of the Universe!

Holistic Healthcare for Animals

Holistic healthcare incorporates a variety of non-invasive Integrative Energy Therapies to encourage healing of our animal’s body, mind and spirit. These gentle yet powerful techniques are rooted in ancient wisdom to promote improved cellular health, increase vitality and return the body to balance. By turning on the natural healing ability of the body, Integrative Energy Therapy allows the body to improve the efficiency of it’s functions so that our animals may experience freedom from pain and restrictions as they achieve optimal health.

Reiki

Reiki can be a powerful tool for healing and growth and supports the animal’s whole being – physical, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

Acupressure

Acupressure is an ancient healing technique of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) using pressure to stimulate specific acupoints focusing on Chi or Qi, which is considered to be the body’s life force energy.

Radiant Light Therapy

Radiant Light Therapy involves the use of specific light wavelengths to promote healing and overall wellness. This non-invasive therapy utilizes light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or lasers to target affected areas of an animal's body.
