Obedient Paws

Taking my dog to Obedient Paws is one of the best decisions I’ve made. My dog Juno is a large German Shepherd mix. Once he got close to his full size, it was nearly impossible to walk him because he was so strong and pulled me down the street. We had tried other trainers first and nothing worked. Thanks to Adam, he now walks nicely and heels on a leash and off leash, which is something I never thought would happen. Juno’s recall was weak before, and now I’m comfortable allowing him to explore ahead of us off leash while hiking because I know he will come back when called. Adam truly cares about the animals he works with and he will not send your dog home until you think they are ready and you’re comfortable handling them. I have no doubts that we will also send our next dog to Adam in the future. He helped us so much and I would recommend him to anyone who has training issues with their dog.

I have a 5 month old Pitbull named Whopper. Although he isn't bad at home he never liked to listen once he got outside. Whopper would pull, jump, whine, anything you could think of. I called Adam out the blue and he accepted at the last minute. I did the bootcamp training for a week. Its like I have a whole new dog! I was skeptical about the prong collar but Adam is very knowledgable. He explained and taught me how to use prong and e-collar the correct way. Any questions I asked he answered them. He even let me get extra private lessons in during the bootcamp. Not to mention his assistant is awesome and fills in when Adam is busy. Very nice facility to train dogs in. I will be bringing Whopper back for more training and boarding.

I was having trouble with my dog Sprinter, he was starting to become reactive and resource guard his family. He also lacked impulse control. Walks were becoming stressful for him and myself, so I contacted Adam about the bootcamp. We did 4 weeks, and every minute was worth it. Within a week, we started seeing changes, and by week 4 he was recalling and listening off leash. All of the dogs there were very happy and comfortable, and I saw a big confidence boost with my own. He is no longer nearly as anxious as he was, and now I know how to keep him calm in situations where he had immense trouble before. I highly recommend getting in contact with Adam if you are unsuccessfully training your dog elsewhere or at home. Thank you Adam!!!
