Pawsitive Canine Dog Training

So I was walking in the park today and I see the owner of this company and his two dogs down there. I see this other friendly dog walking by its owner minding its own business and one of this guys dogs came out like a bat out of hell and just randomly attacked this dog viscus bit her in the rear and threw in the air and shook her… wow and this guy has a company for positive dog trainer yeah right! the other dog did not do anything… I think this guy needs training!!!

One of this company’s trucks is parked infront of my work and there are two dogs in the back of the truck with little to no ventilation. The front windows of the truck are cracked but the dogs are in the back with no air. There are two large breed dogs in there barking in the 70 degree heat (outside); I can only imagine how hot it is inside the truck for them. This is completely inappropirate and I will be putting this information on any media source you are listed on.
Based on this alone i would NOT recommend this company to take care of or train my pet.

Our family has been working with Chad for many years. We had some challenges training our dogs and he helped us tremendously. Since then when we have questions about how to try to introduce new challenges to our dogs, Chad is always happy to help. He will even come out to give us a «how to» demonstration. The dogs love him and so do we. He has been a Godsend to our family.
We have been with Chad since before he was in the new facility in Jamul and were so excited that he would have a place with lots of room for all of his «guests.» With larger breed dogs it is great to know that they have enough room to stretch their legs. I can’t tell you about anything except for our own experience with Chad which has only been positive. He has taken care of our «kids» in the past and will be doing it again. Why? He is the ONLY person that we trust with our dogs, period.

Up until this date Chad is still continuing to care for one of my dogs. Like with any business there are going to be up and downs. I see that there are a lot of positive reviews on his page and each person still trusting him with their dogs or should I say FURRY CHILD over a great period of time. Some people say «Look at his facility» well in reality i have been there and it is just fine… would those of you feel safer placing your pet somewhere where the grass is green and everyone is in uniform but in reality your just getting a great impression because of only what you can see going on??? I am sorry for those who have had a bad experience with the services but he is a great trainer and has a warm heart… I will always trust him with my FURRY CHILDREN. i have referred people to him and he is currently boarding my friends dog as well… No complaints over here…
Chad we love your services. Your help even when you have to go out of your way to help us or others. it is not only bad reviews that have been remove because i had one of mine removed as well…

It seems more than a coincidence that Chad Arberg received several positive reviews all at the early to mid part of December 2009, right after he lost a client’s dog (friends and relatives, maybe?). By happenstance, I found this post on
because I am still sickened and angry over his mistreatment of our puppy exactly ONE YEAR ago that I Googled his name to see if he was still in business (hoping that he wasn’t). Chad makes a good first impression when he comes to your home for a consultation but, NEVER entrust your pet for care at his facility. We could kick ouselves for not checking out his facility firsthand! Chad brought our puppy home after a three-​week stay for «in-​home» boarding and training and we were devastated at his physical condition: emaciated, coat and ears full of dirt and mud, scrapes and scratches on his torso, and pressure sores on the outside of all four of his paws and the entire length of his tail. We took him to the vet immediately the next morning, who prescribed antibiotics and wanted to know «who did this to him?» Well, not only does our vet know about Chad, so does everyone at the dog park we frequent on a regular basis, and I plan to share our experience as far and wide as possible (thank you, Unilocal). Thankfully, we got our puppy back, but now I can’t help but wonder what he had to endure for three weeks or if he, too, was lost for the extra week that Chad wanted to keep him to «really make sure he was trained» (he wasn’t…). Please don’t let any other dogs suffer at the hands of Chad Arberg!

I sent my English Bulldog, Frank, to pawsitive k9 while I was out of town for a week. Prior to leaving town, I researched Chad and his business. I had no worries about leaving my very high maintenance dog with him. His property has a lot of land, which Frank used to it’s full extent while under Chad’s supervision.
Being a bulldog, Frank needs specific food, medicine, and twice dailty eye cleanings. If Frank does not get these needs fulfilled, it can lead to a very expensive vet bill! However, Chad fully gave Frank all the extra attention and care he needs.
I am so grateful I have found a good place for Frank to go when I am out of town. Thank you to Chad and his pawsitive k9 services, I know Frank is well taken care of and happy when I am gone!
