I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself to you all. Hi there, I’m Olivia, the owner of Pawlite Pups, bringing over a decade of experience in the dog industry to Raleigh-Durham and its surrounding areas. As a certified dog trainer, I've dedicated years to developing sustainable systems that enhance the bonds between humans and canines. Combining a variety of methods from a balanced approach to dog training, I prioritize positive reinforcement, using rewards like treats, praise, and playtime to encourage desired behaviors. Simultaneously, I incorporate gentle corrections and boundaries to address unwanted behaviors. My approach focuses on understanding each dog's unique needs and tailoring training methods accordingly. When I’m not becoming your dog’s next bff, I spend my time working on Healthy Opportunities Pilot Program, the first of its kind in the nation, providing healthy medically tailored meals to enrollees in need throughout six counties in Southeastern NC. This initiative reflects my unwavering commitment to promoting positive conscious changes within our community. With an educational background in sustainability and food systems, coupled with my journey as a cancer survivor and celiac, I'm dedicated to pioneering meaningful transformations that deeply resonate.
