Compassionate, Positive Puppy Training for a Confident Start

Supporting Puppy Parents in Stafford County & Surrounding Areas

At Paws-Itive Pathways, we help you raise a calm, well-mannered puppy using positive reinforcement and real-life training.

Whether you’re a first-time puppy parent or just need support with biting, potty training, or building focus, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Why Start Early?

The ideal socialization period for puppies is between 6 and 16 weeks of age. During this time, your puppy is most open to new experiences, environments, and people. Starting training after their first round of vaccinations (around 8 weeks) allows you to build confidence and prevent problems before they start.

Is This the Right Fit for You?

Our puppy training packages are designed to help with:

  • Biting, chewing, and nipping

  • Potty training issues

  • Jumping, pulling, or barking

  • Confidence-building and socialization

  • General manners like settling, coming when called, or walking on leash
