Meet The Trainer

Hi, I'm Ariana Roberson.

​

I'm a certified dog trainer and behavior consultant based in the Pierce County area, with over 14 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds.

 

I'm the owner and head trainer of Pawsitive Results Dog Training & Behavior, where I focus on helping dogs and their owners navigate behavior challenges with clarity, structure, and understanding.

​

At the core of my work is a simple belief: 

behavior is communication, not defiance. Dogs don't act out to be difficult. They respond to their environment, their past experiences, and their emotional state. When behavior feels overwhelming or confusing, it's usually a sign that something deeper needs to be understood, not suppressed. 

​

I specialize in working with dogs experiencing fear, anxiety, reactivity, and aggression, as well as dogs who need support building solid foundations in obedience and real-world manners. Whether we're addressing complex behavior challenges or everyday training goals, I tailor each plan to meet the individual needs of the dog and the household, because no two dogs or families are the same.

​

I also believe that training should support the relationship, not strain it. My goal is to help owners build a respectful, trusting connection, with thier dogs rooted in clear communication, appropriate structure, and mutual understanding. Training should feel empowering, not overwhelming, and owners should leave sessions feeling confident and capable, not discouraged. 

​

Ultimately, my work is about supporting both ends of the leash. When dogs feel safe enough to learn and humans feel supported enough to lead, real change happens. My goal is to help dogs and their owners feel more calm, confident, and connected in their daily lives, so they can move forward together with clarity and trust.
