Pawzitive Beginnings Dog Training

“Continuing education for you and your dog”

About Us

Pam and Lisa formed PAWZitive Beginnings in 1999.  They wanted to make a variety of canine experiences available to those who own dogs; pet owner and competitive exhibitor alike.  They are doing this by bringing noted experts in various areas of canine training, genetics and health care to Central Ohio. They also own and operate, with a small group of friends, the first dog training center in the area focusing solely on the sport of dog agility, Buckeye Region Agility Group.

Pam has been competitively training dogs since 1989.
She has owned a variety of different breeds but currently breeds and trains her own Vizslas in agility, conformation and obedience, rally, hunting and tracking; as well as handling dogs for others in the conformation ring.

Lisa has trained and shown dogs since 1984, beginning with a Siberian Husky. Since then Lisa has bred several litters of Portuguese Water Dogs. She trains the Portuguese and the family Sheltie in agility, tracking, obedience, rally, water work, freestyle and herding.
