Certified, Professional, Friendly.

Here at Pawsitively Obedient, we feel that education is important. Ginger went back to school and received her certifications in canine obedience and behavior from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy. Not only does she train dogs but she also teaches aspiring dog trainers as a CATCH Official Mentor Trainer. She later became a Canine Good Citizen Evaluator with The American Kennel Club and trains as well as evaluates for the AKC CGC program. Ginger was also recognized and published by Blue Buffalo as their Highlight Trainer in 2016. More recently Ginger headed back to school to gain her education and certification in Service Dog Training as an SDC with Cooperative Paws in 2018 and was honored to be recognized as a featured student.

Working with our clients in their homes is something we approach professionally and with much respect.

Y'all know that being in the south, good ole southern hospitality is a must and we will be waving at your neighbors in your neighborhood and we may even have a friendly neighborhood walk when teaching little Rover to walk nicely on leash. So have your sweet tea and training treats ready and we will greet you with a big ole Pawsitively Obedient, South Carolina smile!

"Ginger and Tony were absolutely fantastic with our dog Sadie. from the first time you meet them it will be abundantly clear how much they truly care for dogs. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to train their dog. I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed"

"In January I got a pound puppy from Palmetto Lifeline - the cutest, most relaxed dog that I had ever seen. Well....fast forward about a month and he was attacking the cat, bullying the dog and basically running circles around us at home. I was very close to trying to find another home for him. I contacted the shelter for a list of dog trainers and by luck dialed the right number and got Ginger on the phone. There are not enough kind words to say about Ginger and Tony. During the 6 weeks puppy classes we were family - they helped me with the highs and lows and owning a puppy. They helped with the aggression towards the cat and how to gain control in my life. Ginger not only helped the puppy but me as well get through this rough patch. I may not be from the south but I truly feel "blessed" to have Ginger and Tony in my life. Love you both!"
