Stella stayed at Angelic Paws a couple weeks again. It was great. Kristen is a great trainer ( I used her last summer for training) When stayed with her, she sent daily pictures. I also liked the structured play time she offers the dogs. Highly recommend In fact Stella is staying there again soon

Kristin is an amazing trainer! Her gentle and effective approach to training my puppy Lila is incredible. I saw results in just one training session. I’m grateful to have found Kristin and Lila and loves her too! 🙂
I have taken my dog here numerous times for day camp and for overnight boarding, and have had a wonderful experience every time. My dog loves it! She runs to the door with her tail wagging every time we go back - she can't wait to get inside and start having fun!

I’m so happy I found a trustworthy place for my dog to stay. I travel frequently for work, so it was important that I find a place where I feel confident leaving Roo when I travel. Kristin and her staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. They take the time to really get to know your dog and their needs. I appreciate the regular updates I receive which show all the fun he is having. I get photos and messages about Roo's adventures and well-being while I'm away. It's evident that the team here goes above and beyond to make sure the dogs are not just cared for, but are genuinely having a great time.

My husband and I reached out to Angelic Paws for help with our adorable but out of control puppy, Lucy. Kristin is knowledgeable and extremely patient with both Lucy and with us. With her hands on training and encouragement, Lucy at ten months is a joyful, responsive dog with much improved behavior. And she loves Kristin. Since Kristin opened Angelic Paws boarding and training facility in Galena we take Lucy every Wednesday to Day Care to spend a day of socializing with other dogs and receiving less formal training. With this service we also receive information regarding Lucy’s progress as well as instruction to help develop her new skills. In addition, we are able to board Lucy with Angelic Paws when we have to be out of town. Whether she’s boarding or at play day, we receive pictures and comments throughout the day. Angelic Paws is a wonderful addition to Galena’s canine community and we encourage anyone looking for training, day care or boarding to talk to Kristin.
