An exceptional activity for you and your dog to enjoy, is our TAILS Academy day training program, a structured and FUN day for your dog, developing reliable skills and tailored activities/exercise with our instructors.
Our “K9 Splash” aquatics center is a place for you and your dog to enjoy a private session in our canine water treadmill or swimming in our 41′ x 21′ pool which is a safe, clean, comfortable environment that encourages endurance training, rehabilitation, dock diving, or interactive play.
The highlight of our facility is our 8,500 square-foot, artificially turfed arena in which we hold approximately 40 canine sports or activities each year, drawing hundreds of competitors, spectators and dog enthusiasts from all over the Midwest. We also offer a retail area, committed to promoting unique, safe and healthy products to help you and your dog achieve success in your training endeavors. Come visit our facility, we can’t wait to meet you!
Chasing my dreams
My passion for pets led me to creating Think Pawsitive Dog Training. Growing up I longed to have a place where dogs and their owners could go to enhance their minds and bodies. After years of work my team and I, with help of an awesome community, have built the largest dog training facility in Wisconsin. I urge you to come and check us out. This place is the culmination of all my hopes and dreams.

Globally enriching human and canine relationships through endless possibilities.
Think Pawsitive is a team of committed, positive, and successful dog trainers who strive to be patient, dedicated, and honest. We promote safe, healthy, and rewarding relationships between dogs and their owners. What makes us unique is that our program allows dogs to “Think” and students to be very “Pawsitive” and patient as they interact with their canine companions.
We work within our 12 Points of Culture to ensure that everyone who engages with the Think Pawsitive team benefits greatly; moving closer to developing a stronger canine/human relationship and to achieving the goals they have set for themselves.
We create and foster a fun, interactive learning environment. We educate our clients and ourselves with world-class presenters and training opportunities. Relationships develop through unparalleled education, training, and endless fulfilling and mutually enriching exercise and activities.
We believe every dog has incredible potential regardless of age, breed, background, or temperament. Our students are forward-thinking, open to learning and growth, and are dedicated to the development of their relationship with their dogs. No matter what the activity, our students desire and allow us to help them in achieving their training goals.
