UNLEASH YOUR DOG’S POTENTIAL!

We have group classes, private training options, as well as day training!

Our focus is to strengthen your relationship with your dog by teaching you a foundation of training techniques that will help you better understand your dog’s behavior. This in turn allows you to focus on what you DO want from your puppy or dog, instead of always talking about what you DON’T want! Our reward-based training method is about keeping you and your dog motivated and having fun. By guiding and modeling your dog’s actions training does not have to be a chore, so go ahead….

All of our training is done using a reward-based training method,
we believe that a well-behaved dog happens through the building of a relationship,
that is based on trust, safety, patience, and love.

Karen Lanoue-Lambrecht is the head instructor and owner of PAWSitively Obedient LLC. Karen graduated from Becker Junior College in 1976, where she received an Associate of Science degree in the Veterinary Assistant Program. She was a veterinary technician at Angell Memorial Hospital for nearly seven years and at other veterinary hospitals on the South Shore. While at Angell she became interested in dog training as she had acquired an untrained 9-month-old American Eskimo pup who had numerous behavior problems. Karen took him to a companion class given by Dr. Amy Marder, an animal behaviorist-veterinarian at Angell Memorial Hospital.
Soon after completing the course, Karen asked to monitor the classes to learn more. She became seriously interested in behavior/training and was offered a job as a training assistant for Dr. Marder’s classes.

She fueled her interest by attending classes, and seminars and reading books by other trainers. Karen received national certification as a professional dog trainer in 2001. Karen’s philosophy was guided by the positive reinforcement techniques taught by Dr. Ian Dunbar a noted behaviorist and veterinarian. He started an Association of Pet Dog Trainers in 1993 of which Karen is a current member. Their mission is to build better trainers through education. Karen embraces that mission and believes that through her instruction she can build more knowledgeable dog owners.

Karen moved to Marshfield in 1995 and found there was not much of a choice in training classes for owners and their puppies. She started her own business and offered outdoor classes through the Norwell Recreation Department. Karen now offers in-home instruction from 9 weeks of age to adult and offers Puppy K levels I & II, and Good Manners Levels I & II classes at locations in Pembroke. Special classes and workshops are available. AKC Tricks, K9NoseWork (scent class), Intro to Agility, and Canine Good Citizen are offered.

Karen’s instruction classes are recommended by her satisfied clients and local veterinarians. She continues to continue her education by attending seminars, webinars and reading dog training books. You are always learning -we never know everything there is to know regarding behavior.
