GET PAWSITIVE is the brainchild of well-known Animal Behavior and Training Consultant, Sarah Surritt. Because our four-legged furry companions are so important to us, CelebratingAct2™ is pleased to add her to our list of regular contributing experts. A life-long animal lover, Sarah’s family includes horses, goats, chickens and a pig as well as cats and dogs. Of course her specialty is training dogs and people of all ages. For CelebratingAct2™ we’ve asked her to report on all things pet-related.  We’re sure you will not only get great ideas to help you bond with your furry companion, but also enjoy her many stories and examples. A dog trainer for close to 20 years, she is nationally certified (CPDT-KA, KPA CTP) and offers online courses nationwide as well as in-person training, including group classes and one-on-one private lessons in the San Diego, CA. area.   CLICK HERE to visit her website
