FirstBarkTook my puppy Grover to puppy class and to canine manners found both classes to be beneficial. He loved going to class each week and I enjoyed learning positive reinforcement methods for training. Would recommend going to both!

Cindy at patient paws gave us the tools we needed to help train our rescue dog Mabel. She is amazing to work with and so so so knowledgeable. We will be using these skills for years to come. I definitely recommend her for your any of your dog training needs.

Years of rescue and fostering so many troubled strays, I found myself with an abused fearful stray who had never been socialized, never been on leash and extremely head shy. Cindy and her amazing assistant helped build confidence and trust, while guiding me to bring out the best in this particular rescue canine. I cannot express my gratitude for her patience with training and giving me the proper support to put the work in at home daily! Former street thug turned house bug lol We will continue to implement all we’ve learned! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Our puppy, Harley, just completed the second round of puppy training. Highly recommend Cindy. Harley knows commands, we grew a great bond, and she got puppy socialization.
We have taken a puppy and an adult dog and found Cindy's instruction worthwhile for both of them. She accurately identifies each dog's specific needs in addition to providing excellent general guidance and principles. My teenagers also benefitted from participating, so now we are sending a more cohesive and consistent message to our dogs.
