Announcing NEW CLASSES in MILL CREEK!!!
We are delighted to inform you that we are now hosting a variety of classes in Mill Creek, WA!  Among our puppy and adult classes, we offer a specialty class, such as Scaredy Dog, for shy, fearful dogs.

Day Training Services: Find out how affordable it is to have one of our professional trainers come to your home to train and exercise your dog as frequently as you'd like!  With weekly family follow-up sessions, you and your dog will still learn together, while you let us do most of the homework for you.

Pawsitive Steps Dog Training, LLC started by Gayle Ballinger, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, utilizes scientifically-based positive reinforcement techniques to help people and their dogs live together in harmony.  We have been serving the greater Seattle area since 1997.
 

We are committed to helping you develop a better relationship with your dog!  Every person and dog is unique; people adopt dogs (and dogs adopt people) for many different reasons.  We all have different purposes, goals and dreams in mind, and we each define “acceptable behaviors” differently and seek different activities to enjoy with our dogs. Our family-oriented, fun classes and consultations are designed to teach your dog basic manners and obedience skills while shaping your dog’s behavior to become the companion you seek.

Meet the Trainer...Gayle Ballinger, CPDT
Even as a young child, Gayle Ballinger was very in-tune with the animals around her; she gravitated towards every dog and cat she met and spent hours playing with her neighbor’s pet skunk.  At the age of six, Gayle discovered that even the local squirrels would perform tricks in exchange for bits of her peanut butter sandwiches. This passion for working with animals has been a driving force behind her career and life choices… If you’re looking for help in raising your first puppy, need to solve a problem with your dog’s behavior, or just want to have a well-trained dog, call Gayle Ballinger at Pawsitive Steps Dog Training.  After all these years, she’s still sharing her peanut butter sandwiches.
