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 recently gave Coaching 4 Paws a call to get some crate training for our 3 month old puppy to help calm the whining/yelping. I was pleasantly surprised when I spoke to the owner and he said he doesn’t think training is necessary right now! After giving him some background on our puppy, he genuinely recommended to save my money and keep doing what we’re doing, because our home training seems to be on the right path. I respect the total honesty and I’ll definitely be referring anybody I know that needs training!!

Business response

Joe thank you for the kind words 🙏🏽 if you ever need doggy daycare, boarding, or grooming! Reach out in the meantime keep up the great work with training!

We sent our 2-yo Great Dane rescue to the 3-week boarding/training program. Being a rescue he had serious trust/confidence issues. Caroline is super knowledgeable and caring and built a remarkable bond with Norman. We are very pleased with the results and would highly recommend Coaching 4 Paws.

Business response

Thank you, Sheri, for trusting Coaching 4 Paws with Norman and for your wonderful review. We’re so glad Caroline could help build his confidence and that you’re pleased with the results. It means a lot that you would recommend us, and we look forward to supporting Norman again whenever you need us.

We worked with Faith, who was amazing! She was kind and patient with our wonderful (but spunky) German Shepherd. It’s very clear she cares deeply about the dogs she works with. We recommend her wholeheartedly!

Business response

Thank you so much for your kind words, Danielle! We’re thrilled Faith was patient and caring with your spunky German Shepherd and truly appreciate your wholehearted recommendation. We’ll be sure to pass your praise along to Faith and look forward to caring for your dog again.

5/5

Emily worked with my 6 year old Lab and turned him from hard-headed, non-compliant, impossible to walk dog because he pulled so hard I was afraid he’d pull me over into a well-behaved, calm and responsive boy. I can’t say enough about how impressed and thankful I am to have found her and the rest of the staff at Coaching 4 Paws in Southingon. She saved us. Thank you, Emily!

Business response

Thank you so much, Sherri. We’re thrilled Emily and our Southington team could help turn your Lab into a calm, responsive companion. We appreciate your kind words and for trusting Coaching 4 Paws with his training. It means a lot to know he’s easier and safer to walk now.
