The Art of Pawsitivity

The Art of Pawsitivity Dog training inspired by kindness and informed by science. Have fun with your dog and develop a positive relationship that you both treasure.

Dog training is about so much more than making your dog do your bidding. It's about taking the time to understand how dogs think and learn and making a commitment to utilize strategies that promote their physical and psychological well-being. It's about using training methods that are rooted in basic principles of psychology and have been scientifically proven to be effective and humane. It’s abou

t creating pets that are safe and well-mannered members of society and the home. Most importantly, it is about having fun with your dog and developing a positive relationship that you both treasure.

If your dog is not a fan of the cold you can now rent the training space for 30 minutes at a time to allow them a chance to play indoors. Up to 4 dogs are allowed in the space at a time, so you can set up a play date with your dog's friends! https://CanineBodyAndMind.as.me/?appointmentType=36296146

It’s official. We’re moving!

The Art of Pawsitivity is now Canine Body and Mind LLC and we will be
moving to a new location in Granger, IN! Dr. Belock is opening a new
training center that will offer group classes, private lessons, and
behavior consults.

Any private lessons scheduled between now and January 7th 2022 will
still be held in the training room at Bergman Small Animal. After that
date, all other lessons and classes will be held at 12743 Heather Park
Dr., Suite 101, Granger, IN 46530.

We hope that many of you will be able to join us at our new location and
continue training, but are aware that this change may make for an
impractical commute for others. We are planning to launch virtual
training opportunities that we hope you can take advantage of. For those
of you who decide to look elsewhere for training services, we thank you
for the opportunity to have served you and your dog and we wish you the
absolute best going forward. Remember to be your dog’s advocate and try
to stay pawsitive, patient and consistent. We will miss you!

We will be taking most of January to set up the business. Please feel
free to reach out to us with any questions regarding this transition. We
will send out another notification when the website is up and running.

We are so excited to start this new adventure and we hope you can join
us!
