Hilary Briggs
Hilary is originally from Indianapolis, but has been living in the Lafayette area since June of 2011. She graduated from Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Indiana in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. She attended Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine for two years before deciding to explore other careers with animals, particularly in relation to animal behavior. She received her certification in Canine Massage Therapy through the Brandenburg Massage Therapy Canine Massage Therapy Training & Certification Program. She has worked at a couple local kennels with off-leash dog play programs as well as a local veterinary clinic since moving to the Lafayette area; she also worked for a veterinary hospital in Indianapolis throughout her undergraduate career. All totaled, she has worked with animals in some capacity for 10 years, but has had a passion for animals her entire life. She is owned by a feisty Jack Russell Terrier named Penelope and a goofy Yorkshire Terrier named Howie. Patrick Holland
Patrick has been working with animals for the past 6 years and in that time has learned a great deal about behavior and how to effectively implement force-free training techniques. Patrick graduated from the Animal Behavior College with a Certificate of Achievement in Dog Training in 2012; he then went on to earn his Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) certification through the Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) in 2015. He also graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Sciences with a concentration in Companion Animal Behavior in 2014. Patrick worked at a local kennel with off-leash dog play and was an independent contractor for another private pet sitting business. Patrick is owned by a mixed breed pooch named Miley and a senior Border Collie named Bear. Patrick and Hilary met while working at a local kennel with an off-leash dog play program. They started as coworkers then quickly became friends. They realized that they both had a passion for animal behavior and educating others on how force-free methods could positively influence animal care. While both Patrick and Hilary had individually dreamed of having their own pet care businesses, they realized together that their dream could be achieved, thus Pawsitive Pets, LLC was born!

Did you know that more than 50% of our private lesson plans involve a pup that has already bitten another person or dog prior to contacting us?

As dog training experts, we can't stress enough how important it is to start training before an incident occurs. Once a dog has bitten, the trajectory of their behavior often becomes much more challenging to navigate. Most bites we see are preventable with early training, proper management, and being mindful not to force dogs into uncomfortable social situations they're not ready for.

Training isn't just about teaching commands—it's about understanding and managing emotions like anxiety, fear, and aggression. We are qualified to work through these negative emotions, but we'd much rather address them proactively!

We want to help prevent bites before they happen. It’s always easier and safer to work with dogs before they reach a point where aggression becomes a response.

🐾 A word of caution: The pet care industry is unregulated, meaning not all services are created equal. Even if a company offers training, they may not understand the deeper dynamics of canine behavior unless run by certified behavior consultants.

Let’s prioritize prevention and set our dogs up for success from the start!

🎄🐾 Happy Holidays from Pawsitive Pets! 🐾🎄

The holiday season is a time for joy, love, and new beginnings—and for many families, it’s also the perfect time to welcome a newly adopted dog or puppy into their home! 🐕❤️ Whether you’ve recently added a furry friend or are preparing to, it's crucial to remember that the first few months are key to setting your dog up for a lifetime of success and happiness.

🐾 Why Establishing Good Routines Matters:
The first 3 months after adoption are critical for your dog’s adjustment. During this time, they’re learning to trust you, your home, and their surroundings. Establishing consistent routines and expectations, like daily walks, training sessions, and quiet time, will help them feel secure and understand what's expected.

🚶‍♂️ The Power of Walks:
Daily walks not only provide physical exercise but are also a chance to expose your dog to new sights, sounds, and smells. This is essential for building confidence, socialization, and good leash manners. Regular walks also help release pent-up energy, preventing behavioral issues down the road.

🎯 Behavior Training & Exposure:
The first three months with your newly adopted dog or puppy are the perfect window to set them up for success, and training is at the heart of that process. During this time, your dog is learning to navigate their new world, and every experience—whether it's their first car ride, meeting new people, or hearing unfamiliar noises—shapes their behavior.

🎁The holidays are the perfect time to begin this exciting journey with your new dog. Give them the gift of great training, and you’ll both enjoy a wonderful life together filled with love, respect, and understanding.

Contact us today to learn more about how we can support you and your new furry friend during this crucial period of transition!

Happy Holidays, and cheers to many walks, wagging tails, and successful training sessions ahead! 🐕🎁

Panda (Patrick & Babbi’s pup) was diagnosed with lymphoma back in April. She’s been receiving chemo since then but today we celebrated her last chemo session at Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital! We’re all so proud of Panda for fighting her fight with lymphoma and being the most perfect patient the whole way through 🖤

Happy National walk your dog day! 🦮🐾

We love stopping in at Star City Coffee during a downtown training lesson to warm up, get some delicious coffee, and of course get a pup cup for miss Bella after doing a great job showcasing composure in a coffee shop environment, which can often be a difficult task for pups. She has been working with us for quite some time now and we are so proud of her skills! 🤩🐕☕️ #dogtraining #lafayettedogtrainer #positivereinforcement #pawsitivepets #coffee #pupcup
