Coaching 4 paws

I spoke with Carlos to understand if I wanted to bring my nine month old mini Labradoodle to this training. He assessed what he thought I needed, And was spot on. Faith was our trainer. She was wonderful both training my pup as well as it’s humans.😊 Faith was not only patient and confident with my pup, who was very stubborn, she also dealt with this dog mom who struggled to have her pup in a three week Boot Camp. Faith handled Everything with calmness and Expertise. My pup is nine months old, so we will continue to practice and work with him so he does not regress, but faith gave us the tools to do that I can’t say enough….. If you’re considering training for your dog, you Should definitely consider working with Coaching 4 Paws!!

Coaching for Paws is a wonderful option for giving your dog a strong foundation in listening and behavior management. We had Coach Emily who helped us navigate our unique situation. We also battled snow storms, and scheduling conflicts which were handled with such grace and flexibility. Our Blu was in great hands for his entire stay and we are looking forward to continuing his training. Thank you, Emily! Blu misses you.

I reached out to Coaching 4 Paws, basically, when I was at the end of my rope. My one-year-old doodle had just been kicked out of his doggie daycare after snapping at another dog and nipping an attendant and then pulling me into a faceplant in the parking lot. At 50+ pounds, Kailo is very strong, and walking him anywhere would give me anxiety. He was getting increasingly reactive to the point where I couldn’t even say hello to my neighbors without him going completely berserk. In walked trainer Emily, who guided him through a month of board-and-train. It was exactly what he needed. Within a week or so, Kailo seemed much calmer already. He had picked up basic commands and was doing things like sitting in place with other dogs, and people, around him. I honestly was skeptical that he’d ever get to that point. He seemed generally less anxious and more comfortable in public. Emily was great about listening to my key concerns and really worked with Kailo to get him calmer, especially in public places, where he was usually overstimulated. He used to cower and hide from strangers or growl and bark at them. But he was like a different dog after working with Emily. She was great about sharing her observations of Kailo and giving me tips on how to manage his excited energy and anxiety in public. She shared photos and videos of Kailo’s progress. And when I worked with Emily on my one-on-one sessions with Kailo, she patiently walked us through everything and answered questions. Today, my dog is much calmer. He’s still a work in progress, as he is only a year old, but miles ahead of where he used to be. We are both much less anxious and more optimistic post-training. Coaching 4 Paws has given us the tools to keep building trust and confidence. I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Emily and Coaching 4Paws! 🙏❤️🐾
