Pack walks, an age-old practice, offer numerous benefits to our pups that extend far beyond just a leisurely stroll. Pack walks provide a controlled environment for dogs to interact, learn social cues, and refine their social skills. This exposure helps shy, anxious or previously reactive dogs to become more confident and well-adjusted, while overly energetic dogs learn to channel their energy positively, resulting in improved behavior at home and in public spaces. We love our pack walks! Message to learn more.
Very proud of this little girl, Tori. She has been training with PIK9 since she came home to her owners. With every other week sessions, she is now 8 months and reliable off leash (which is importance since she doesn’t have a fenced yard), has wonderful obedience, and is living her best life💟. Puppies can be a lot of work but investing the time into training from the beginning leaves you with an enjoyable companion for the rest of your life!
Excited to announce our 2️⃣nd annual 🍁Trail Trot🍁. This is a *client only* event! Please text Rebecca to register! All proceeds this year will be donated to 🫶

Mani- AVAILABLE for adoption - please share
As most of you know, Mani was surrendered to me about 2 months ago and has been undergoing extensive training and behavior modification. He came to me with lack of impulse control and extremely under socialized. I’m beyond happy to report that this dog has turned into an all-around good boy! He has near to no fear of people anymore- actually greets them with a tail wag and offers himself for butt scratches.
This lovable and lively pup is available for adoption and is the ideal match for an active pet home with no children.
🏞️ Outdoor Enthusiast: Mani thrives on outdoor adventures and will be your ultimate exercise buddy. While he enjoys a neighborhood walk, his boundless energy calls for more than just that- he needs off leash freedom. If you love hiking, jogging, or engaging in outdoor activities, Mani will be your perfect partner in crime.
🏠 Home Sweet Home: Don't worry about a hyperactive pup causing chaos indoors. Mani has the ability to chill and relax in the house. He can self-entertain with his favorite chuck it balls or grab a bone and chew and chill. He also doesn’t mind a couch snuggle sesh once in a while.
🐶 Social Butterfly: Mani gets along splendidly with most other dogs, including small ones. However, he hasn't been tested around cats, so a cautious introduction would be recommended.
👪 Kid Cautious: Due to his prey drive, Mani is best suited for a home without young children. Although he's not aggressive, it's best to ensure a safe and harmonious environment for everyone involved.
🐾 Easily Manageable: In most situations, Mani tends to be more submissive than dominant, making him easy to handle. He's already crate and house trained, proving himself to be well-mannered and trustworthy when left unattended. Currently he is crated when no one is home or while driving in the car for safety.
🏊 Water Lover: 8 weeks ago, he was a little more than unsure of water. Now this boy is dock diving at the lake. He loves to swim and splash around in creeks and lakes.
🎓 Well-Trained: Mani is no stranger to basic commands, and his willingness to learn will make training sessions a joy. He's a smart pup with a moderate food drive, and very high ball drive making training fun and enjoyable.
🎾 Playful Ball Enthusiast: With a high possession and ball drive, Mani adores interactive playtime. However, due to his previous upbringing, I recommend against bite sports for him.
🏡 Your Perfect Match: Mani is looking for an active pet home. Although he enjoys the company of other dogs, he is relatively independent and doesn’t need other dogs to thrive. Ideally his forever home will have a fenced in yard where he can enjoy some off leash freedom during the day to day. Mani had no previous medical or vet history prior to coming to me and is now up to date on the core vaccines. He is currently un-neutered. Mani is covered by Trupanion pet insurance that would be transferable to his new owner. There will be a rehoming fee for Mani which will cover my cost into him up until this point and I will offer private training sessions at no cost to help integrate him with his new owner. I do truly love this boy and training him has been a very rewarding and heartwarming journey. Please message me for further details or inquiries.

A training client of mine turned friend has had a major medical emergency with his buddy, Ace. Ace is a really special guy who has had the fortune of having an owner who would do anything to help him when he’s sick or injured, which we all know is any pet owners worst nightmare. Unfortunately, Ace had to have emergent surgery at a local emergency clinic due to having an intestinal intussusception, a condition where the intestines telescope into themselves creating a life threatening emergency. The surgeon at the local eclinic did everything she could to help Ace, but ultimately his care had to be transferred to a larger, more specialized facility in Boston. At this time Ace’s owner has had about $12,000 in unexpected vet bills in one weekend. This gofundme has been put together (without Shakeer asking, but with his permission) to help offset the cost of the care that Ace needs. The Pawsitive Impact family is all rooting for your quick recovery, Ace! We hope you’re back in class and chasing your ball again soon!

I have an immense amount of gratitude for all that contributed votes to be able to be named Best of Saratoga Dog Trainers 2022. This is such a huge accomplishment for a business that started off less than 2 years ago as a “side hustle” and just a way to help people truly enjoy their life with their dogs, by helping them understand how to effectively train and communicate with their pups. Since, we’ve been able to help a few hundred pups gain access to a safe off leash life and enjoy all the aspects of freedom outside of a fence or leash. When we can allow dogs to actually BE DOGS- life is different, for them and for us as their owners. This has been an absolutely fruitful and rewarding career and I am so thankful for all the friendships I’ve gained in the process; dog and human🤍. Your continued support, loyalty and referrals have made Pawsitive Impact what it is today and I am forever grateful to be a part of your pups life🤍🤍.

Ates! So many clients reaching out lately about having reactive dogs. We work on fixing it by building engagement with their owner to build confidence and so they can learn to ignore their surroundings. Puppies are sponges and we can create a lot of really great behaviors at such a young age, engagement and eye contact being one! Here is Ates at 13 weeks doing an incredible job staying engaged with mom even through distractions of outside and other dogs! He has almost mastered name recognition and has a great work ethic. His loose leash walking is coming along great already. Other things Ates has learned so far are sit, down, place, leave it, touch, spin, eye contact and he’s just really good at being the cutest puppy ever. ❤️ great work @beyhan_kumral_colak_
Whose your 2021 running buddy? Here are mine! The run is just as much theirs as it is mine. Watch through to see how Rogue enjoys his runs🪵. That said, I need obedience when I pass people, dogs, bunnies, bikers and deer. This level of freedom is great for them and they absolutely love the full on sprints but it wouldn’t be possible without the initial work to instill a solid recall. 1️⃣ obedience 2️⃣ recall 3️⃣ learn to avoid all the distracting things in the environment ✨available to help you and your off leash running buddy🙋♀️
Penny’s parents came to me because at 8 months old she was very leash reactive, barking mostly at other dogs she saw and pulling at the end of her line- overall making for a pretty unenjoyable and a little tense walk. Over the last two months we have worked on engagement with her owners so she thinks they are pretty cool people, this helps her learn to ignore these weird suspicious things in her environment. We also upped her obedience game and held her more accountable for being and staying correct. By creating a form of communication with Penny, things became very clear with what was being asked of her. Penny’s confidence is 10 fold what it was when we started and although we are not done yet, her progress is notable! Currently we are transitioning her to more off leash training with having the freedom of more than a 5 foot leash. This progress couldn’t happen without the super commitment from @mor_tibbs and @tibble49. @aprettypenelope 🥰👏
Mixing up some mental stimulation with physical. These guys LOVE to run full speed and get some energy out but it all comes with the discipline and control to still be obedient no matter what. This is just one way I mix in some training sessions, quick and fun for them. If you can keep training fun, you’re dog will enjoy working with you. 😊 Try adding in some obedience in your next walk and let me know how it goes!
Great day with some ☀️! Bucko thought before our session today that all dogs were for him to play with, aka- all obedience and control was out the window for him. We worked on his reactivity and being able to remain obedient while walking around other dogs, being able to ignore them, remaining calm when the stimulus of the environment increases levels of distractions and keeping his loose leash walking during all of this. Couldn’t do it all without my helpers Heidi and Kila! @rida_seferagic_ great work today!
Coming when called! For sure one of the most important things you can teach your dog! Believe me, it takes practice and patients, a decent amount of it. When you ask yourself, why does my dog not come when I call them- I ask you, do you ever give your dog a good reason to? If we work on proving to your dog that coming when called is pretty great, they will be more willing and motivated to actually listen! With that said, it doesn’t happen overnight. If by the time they actually come back to you, if you’re scolding them, or they get taken away from a fun place (outside, park etc) they will for sure be less likely to listen! If you also constantly spew recall command at them without any sort of discipline or an effective form of communication then the word ‘come’ is pretty meaningless. So remember, if you want your dog to come when called, they have to want to! Check out my training partner @fritz.n.archer recalling little Archie at 1 year old. Everyone seems to thing the recall of one dog has something in it for them too😆

Restarting Kilas article detection. Goal here is for her stare at the object to indicate it, without touching it.
Kila working through some motions, uses a lot of 🧠 power when there is only verbal and no physical commands.
Kilas ‘place’ exercise. This can transition to a bed or a place in the house where you’re dog is intended to go lay down and stay there until released. It incrementally has 4 behaviors, a send away, a reliable down, a reliable stay and a release command. We train each of these individually and then link them to achieve the final behavior.
