Question on Google
We don't have potty training or leash walking issues. We have dog fighting aggressive issues with no known triggers. Can you help?. A Large Rottweiler?

I also have a dog that attacks the other dog in my home, (& has fought other dogs too) seemingly unprovoked, did anyone get help with this company for these specific issues?

I brought my 4.5 year old German Shepherd to Coaching 4 Paws for the 4 week board and train program. Weller was a good dog, but he was overly excitable when people came over to my house & pulled on the leash when someone other than me walked him. I was very skeptical going into it, as I had been through a similar program before (different trainer) that was unsuccessful to say the least. Zach reassured me through the training to trust the process & he did not disappoint. I brought Weller home 2 days ago & Weller is in full heel for most of my walks & he’s learned to curb his excitement much more than when I dropped him off a month ago. He’s not jumping up anymore and he’s overall more mellow. Now it’s up to me to continue the work and dial it in more, but Zach set me up for success. Thank you to the whole Coaching 4 Paws team, we’ll see you at the Master classes!

I sent my dogs Xena and Bella to coaching 4 Paws and I am so pleased. Coach Zach was amazing. He is so good with the dogs. We get so many compliments on how well behaved our 10 month old cane corso is when we are out. Definitely would recommend to anyone whose dog needs some behavior modifications or a puppy just starting to listen!!!!!

Buckley just completed his 3-week boot camp and boarding with Coaching4Paws, and the transformation has been incredible. From drop-off to pick-up, it’s like he’s a completely different dog. After going through a few major life transitions, Buckley had become highly reactive and aggressive. But after working with Caroline, he’s noticeably calmer, more confident, and no longer chases or barks aggressively at people or things. He now listens and responds to my commands! Caroline did an outstanding job training my little Buckley.

We sent our dog for a 3 week training for “manners and control”. We have a very hyper headstrong Aussie. The training was excellent. Our dog is still hyper but we can control her and walk her without dislocating my shoulder. Even my 10 yr olds can walk her. We loved the daily pictures and the groomer did a good job so she came home all clean and fresh. We would definitely rec this co to anyone
