Pawsitive Access Canine Training (PACT) Fund
The Pawsitive Access Canine Training Fund is a mutual-aid initiative dedicated to making positive, force-free dog training accessible to people facing financial barriers. The fund helps offset the cost of humane training support for families who need guidance with everyday behavior challenges but may not be able to afford traditional training services. Service dog training is excluded.
In addition to financial assistance, Pawsitive Access provides free training support, resources, and basic gear at Cleveland APL community vaccine clinics, helping meet people where they are and supporting dogs and guardians during critical points of care

Sits ’n Wiggles offers tailored business-to-business consulting for dog trainers, veterinary clinics, shelters, and rescues.

We help trainers refine their skills and programs, support clinics in integrating force-free behavior services into patient care, and assist shelters and rescues with behavior-based intake, enrichment programs, and community training initiatives. The goal is to improve animal welfare, enhance staff confidence, and strengthen organizational impact through expert guidance rooted in science-based, compassionate methods.
