At Pawsitive Impact K9 Training (PIK9), we believe effective training should be clear, practical and fun — not overwhelming or trend-driven.
Led by owner Rebecca, alongside experienced trainers Levon and Liza, our team is dedicated to helping dogs and their owners build strong, respectful, and lasting relationships. We use balanced training methods that work in real life — straightforward, fair, and easy for owners to understand and apply confidently at home and beyond.
Because no two dogs or households are the same, we meet you where you are. We take the time to understand your dog’s behavior, identify what’s truly needed, and explain not just what to do, but why it works. Our focus isn’t quick fixes — it’s giving you the tools to maintain results long after training ends.
We believe owners should leave training feeling capable and confident, not dependent. No gimmicks. No confusing techniques or "training trends." Just clear communication, consistency, and follow-through. And we don’t stop at “good enough” — we aim for better behavior, stronger trust, more freedom, and a partnership that enhances everyday life with your dog.
If you’re ready for real-world results and a training approach that actually sticks, we’d love to work with you.
Our Team is committed to effective training methods tailored to each individual pup that results in lasting results in real world environments. Unsure what training option is best for you? Schedule an evaluation below.
"I had the most anxiety with people coming to my house or bringing my dog anywhere which led me to seek out PIK9. The difference Rebecca and Lev have made in my dog is amazing. I no longer worry when people come over and his recall is AMAZING, and I finally can bring him with me everywhere I go without worry of how he will behave. I am forever grateful for all of the training and tools they have given me to set him up for success!"
"Cannot recommend PIK9 enough. After only 3 sessions with Rebecca, our almost 2 year old rescue and 1.5 year old golden are becoming such well behaved pups. I can walk them at the same time with no pulling, I can get them to stay on their bed when people come over, and they stay in our yard (no fence) and come back at their name. Such a huge difference. Simply the best training around"
"We’ve had a few sessions with Lev, and the change in our dog’s reactivity has been incredible. Lev makes training simple, clear, and sets you up for success. We’ve done group classes at different places before, but the one-on-one approach gave us the tools we didn’t even realize we were missing to communicate with Murphy. We used to avoid the Troy Farmers Market because he’d bark nonstop at other dogs 🫠 but on our last trip, he was an absolute dream. It felt amazing not being the people with the misbehaved dog 😭 Next goal: better recall! I truly can’t recommend Lev enough"
