Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

My name is Angie, I am an accredited dog trainer with the IAABC and the owner of Pawsitive Associations, opened in 2015, in San Francisco California. I began my career working in animal sheltering and garnered much of my experience and education within this field. I was especially passionate about dedicating time to the dogs that could not be handled by animal care teams and assisting animals that fared poorly in the shelter. I have performed behavior evaluations and assessments, developed low stress protocols and training plans, designed calming routines to decrease anxiety, trained staff in defensive handling and committed to ensuring standards for welfare were exceeded in these environments.

It was during this time I discovered I wanted to help decrease owner relinquishment to shelters by working with owners who struggled with their pets challenging behavior. I specialize in helping people with dogs and cats that have aggression to both people and animals, and who may suffer from separation anxiety or generalized anxiety. I am passionate about my work and care deeply for my clients. My goal is to ensure you receive the coaching, support, and dedication you deserve so you and your pet achieve the desired training goals.
