A member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, Angela Bubley of B. Paws-itive Pet Dog Training draws upon 16 years of professional training experience with every pet she edifies. Whether in private home sessions or in group settings at the B. Paws-itive Pet Dog Training facility, Ms. Bubley bases her lively classes on real-life situations; owners learn to train their dogs to behave during dinner or when a giant T-Rex skeleton rings the doorbell. Training techniques emphasize positive reinforcement, incorporating praise, treats, and plenty of affection to reward good behavior on the part of both dog and owner. B. Paws-itive Pet Dog Training supports By Your Side, Inc., an organization that raises and trains dogs to assist people living with seizure disorders.

Ms. Bubley may deem some animals too aggressive for a group class. In this instance, the dog may still take private lessons, or the Groupon buyer will be entitled to a refund.
