Paws Abilities Dog Training

"I have learned so much from your Social Media posts! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and advice! Your advice is easy to understand and makes so much sense! The best part — your tips have greatly improved my relationships with my dogs and have helped me to be a better pet parent/owner! Thank you!"

"Many levels of training for our dogs, fun activities, lots of variety and good advice. Best of all, the focus is on force free, stress free training. No pain is inflicted on the dogs and they can learn because it is fun and not because they are coerced!"

"We went for a puppy class geared towards "at the groomer" type socialization. The "class" consisted of some mats with different textures being placed on the floor and a sound of a hair clippers being played in the background. The trainer leading the class seemed really disorganized and maybe new? She didn't handle the puppies with different energy levels well. She just let one of the dogs chase the shy ones around when they were clearly scared and cornered. The facilities equipment and set up seemed very haphazard and pieced together like maybe they just recently moved in or were moving out? The class was cheap compared to other training facilities in the area and we could see why. If you can intervene when needed, already have a good idea what your dogs needs are, and are on a budget, this is maybe the place for you."

"We’ve taken multiple classes with our 2 dogs & have done a private session. Our dogs & us have loved every class! It was so nice having a class we were able to bring our very reactive dog to. Everything we did was tailored to each dog. The small class sizes are great so the trainers can give you so many different ways on setting you & your dog up for success for what you’re working on and everyday things. Won’t ever be using another company!"

"Awesome trainer (Katie) and constructive classes. Went to reactive dog class with my rescue dog from Chicago. The trainer was very in-tune with my dog's behavior and responded accordingly. Definitely a non-judgmental zone for dogs and owners. After the first class, I already had a more enjoyable dog!"
