Custom-K9 Dog Training & Boarding (formerly Positive Energy Dog Training) has been helping the dogs of the entire Bay Area and beyond develop a delightful relationship with their Pet Parents since 2020.

We are a group of diverse trainers who believe in relationship-based and balanced training. We believe that training built on trust and kindness is one of the most effective methods. When you have a respectful relationship with clear communication, your dog will want to spend time working with you.  

Our techniques are effective in teaching new behaviors and altering current ones. By reinforcing behaviors you like and want to continue, you set your dog up for success. Regardless of your dog’s age and past experiences, we believe in knowledge and understanding of how to use tools and methods that give them the best chance to live happily and comfortably in our hectic world.
 
Here at Custom-K9, we believe that every interaction is a learning experience for both your dog and their human

What People are Saying

I am so glad we found positive energy! My rescue pup was under socialized with other dogs and was struggling with reactivity. We purchased a private training package and Marwa & Jeff worked with us to truly help my girl overcome it. They brought their own dogs to help her practice, and then we moved on to lessons in busy areas where we knew dogs would be around. They also helped me train her with the e-collar which has been a game changer for us. Now we attend the group trainings every Sunday and my dog has improved so much that she is now able to go to their structured daycare to socialize freely with other dogs - something I thought might never be possible! I love Jeff & Marwa’s overall calm, understanding demeanor and know that they truly care about my dog and helping her improve. I can’t say enough good things! So thankful I found them 🙂

Four months ago our family added a lovable Newfoundland puppy to the crew, Foley. We knew immediately that Foley was a sweetie but we also knew that we needed help training him before he got huge! So off to Positive Energy we went. Marwa, Jeff, Jose, and Isabelle have all been incredible with Foley. In about three months, he went from knowing zero commands to being a pro at a whole repertoire of them (sit, down, place, stay, wait, crate, out, leave it, break, etc.—he has them all down!). His impulse control is so much better (no longer trying to run out the door when people come and he leaves his cat brother alone) and he has not had any moments of Newfie stubbornness in months (trust me, getting an 80 pound dog that does not want to move to do what you want is impossible). Jeff and Marwa both came to give us private training with Foley. Even after just one session, he was a different pup. He knew more from his structured daycare than we ever expected—it was his humans that needed the training. Now he no longer tries to greet everyone and every dog he sees while we are walking and instead understands that we are working when out for walks (he checks in with us instead of focusing only on everything else). Foley also comes home exhausted from his school days (a tired puppy is a good puppy!) and he clearly adores his trainers. And he loves all of his puppy buddies. Because of Positive Energy, we have an amazing puppy who is quickly turning into an incredible canine citizen. I highly recommend Positive Energy!

Positive Energy, and their whole team, are great at what they do! Frankie, our German Shephard puppy, started in late July at PE at about 3 months old. His mom (me - age not to be disclosed) started at the same time. Both of us were clueless. Frankie through no fault of his own, he's a puppy. Frankie was scared of everything and reacted to everything. The staff used to say "here comes Frankie" before we even got into the facility because he'd bark his head off as soon as he hopped out of the car. We started with Saturday puppy socials. By the end of the 1st hour of the 1st social I could see that Frankie had made progress with Marwa's calm, consistent and firm hand. So we quickly started in on structured training/day care. Within weeks, the progress that Frankie made was amazing! It wasn't long before Frankie stopped barking on arrival at PE, but instead was jumping in excitement. And, Mom has made progress too. I can't say enough good about our experience at PE. Take your dog there. You won't be disappointed!

We love the Positive Energy Team!


We have seen HUGE improvements during training. The PE team set us up for success on loose leash walking, regulating play with other dogs (this was huge!), crate training, impulse control with the “place” command, and even took our pup on field trips to train in new environments like restaurants and breweries. Bonus is that your puppy comes home absolutely exhausted after training. I love that they also have follow up private and group trainings to reinforce the manners learned during day training.

My dog Martini has been going to Positive Energy for about 9 months now and I can't say enough about how great the team is there. Starting with Marwa, who you can tell loves what she does, and cares about each dog. Martini is always so happy on her way to school and exhausted by the tike she comes home from all the great training she received that day. I can see a huge difference in her loose leash walking, and many other commands they teach there! Thanks PE for all you do!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value This place has been the best thing for my dogs! All the trainers are great and the best part is my dogs love them. They have helped with the one that needed a bit of training. Brittany and Sam have been a big help for me and my 3 kids.

PE dog training has been such a positive experience for us with our pup Donut!! He LOVES going to PE and has learned a ton! They really do care about your pup being well behaved and helping you, the owners, to be the best you can to help your pup succeed. Donut started when he was about 6 months old and he wouldn’t listen to us at all. He is now almost 1 and he’s improved so much and keeps getting better. At first we got the 26day package, then 2wk board and train (mainly bc he has severe separation anxiety and we needed help on his crate training), and now we do a few days here and there and the staff couldn’t be nicer!! Mawra has put together an incredible staff who really knows what they’re doing. Highly recommend!!

Our Golden Retriever, Riley, has been going to Positive Energy since September 2020 and we are very pleased with the quality of care and training he has received there. The facility is neat and tidy, without any concerns for puppy safety. They have plenty of toys and play structures for the dogs to use and be stimulated by. The staff and trainers are top notch as well and have greatly improved our dog's behavior and obedience. The private sessions are where the trainers really shine. It's not just your dog that needs training, but you and your family as well. The private sessions reinforce what your dog is learning at school and help you to be a better pet parent. Marwa, Sam, and Nick have been just awesome with Riley and helping us as well. If you want a training facility that will treat your dog like it is your child and give it a great foundation for training and good dog behavior, then look no further than Positive Energy.

Positive energy has done an AMAZING job training Denver. From Day 1 he has continuously made great progress, starting with being scared of all dogs, to now being fully confident/sometimes even TOO confident around way bigger dogs. He behaves amazingly, and the positive energy team does not just do a great job training the dogs, but the owners as well. I would highly recommend them to any dog owner, and will be continuing to use them in the future! A secret tip for any puppy owner - picking up your puppy exhausted after a day of training is so peaceful!!!

Marwa was so patient with our dog Minnie. She had a terrible anxiety. I took Marwa's 6 days of special daycare training package and one private lesson. That's all it took, my dog who was scared of everyone was putty in her hands. I saw results instantly, watching her work with Minnie was like nothing I've seen before. It was as if she was having a real conversion with our dog and she really understood her, it was worth every penny.

Positive: Value We first heard about Positive Energy's training program while attending their weekend puppy socials (highly recommend!). During our initial consultation, we saw Marwa in action and were in awe at how responsive and attentive our pup was to her. After just a few day training sessions, we saw massive growth and improvement! Marwa taught us how to understand our pup's energy and to communicate with our pup effectively using balanced energy and positive reinforcement. Their day training packages, which include puppy socials on the weekends and private trainings, are a great value.

This place is great. I boarded my dog fir 2 wks and she learned s lot. She does very well with leash and crate training. A big help to marwa. You are a ROCK STAR!!! I strongly recommend them. I had a dog trainer that was very abusive. Snap thd leash and had me tug on her leash when she did not list e n. I wanted to stress that this is the best training schools I ever took my dog too. The trainers are wonderful and. Bubbles loves them too.
