I can’t say enough great things about Adam and his amazing team! We’ve had two of our pups in bootcamp and daycare over the past 4 years. Adam and his team are attentive and really do care about the well-being of our four legged kids. Our puppy went in with the typical puppy “do what I want” personality and came out a charming boy that we absolutely enjoy being around. Like others have said in other reviews, the difference is night and day and it is worth every penny.

By far the best experience for my dog AND me. Adam and his team helped us so much. Baxter recently started getting aggressive and I needed help immediately before he hurt someone. Within 10 minutes of arriving for my first meeting, Adam had Baxter under control! I knew I found the right place to protect Baxter from himself and help me be a better owner. Three weeks of hard work from everyone…Adam, Lacey, Patrick, Sally, Baxter and me…I brought home a dog who is a much better version of himself. My neighbors have even commented how wonderful and in control Baxter is now! I cannot thank Adam and his staff enough for their dog wisdom, patience, commitment and support. And most importantly, for the love they gave Baxter while he was stay there for training. He is so much better for having been trained by this devoted team. Thank you all so very much!

I was initially recommended Obedient Paws from someone at work when I first sought a trainer last year for Thomas, my Great Dane. After going with another trainer, who was okay, I found Thomas still needing training (myself included needed training on how to work with him). He wasn't aggressive with people or other animals, but did resource guard his food around other dogs. He also displayed a lack of manners and would listen to basic commands... just when he felt like it. Growing frustrated with Thomas, I needed help and immediately called Obedience (something I should've done initially last summer). We talked briefly about what I needed training on and how he can help and booked the first visit on the initial phone call. I saw an improvement with Thomas from just a 60-minute meet and greet and knew that it was the right choice. I signed Thomas up for boot camp during the visit and trusted them with my dog for a week. They were very communicative and reached out, even now after the week. Everyone I encountered there was great to work with and Thomas was more than happy to be with them. Taking Thomas home after the 1 week boot camp was a night and day difference. He is now actually focused on me when I issue a command and I know how to hold him accountable. I know how to continuously work with him to keep our bond growing and his training consistent. His resource guarding has improved and I am still actively working on correcting it with him. Everything I sought out a professional trainer for was accomplished and more with Obedient Paws. Well worth it! I'll be continuing to use them for daycare and/or boarding when the need arises. I know he will be in good hands! Would recommend.

Dropped my dog off last month and he was there for their bootcamp training for 4 weeks. I have to say the change was day and night. Our puppy is more relaxed, and is even better with the toddlers and he actually listens!!! I could not recommend this company enough. The best part is when the owner messages to ask about the continued training. That doesn't come with most companies. I dropped our dog off yesterday and they all were so excited to see him again. I know without a doubt when I leave my puppy there, he is in great hands and will be taken care of.
