My dog is a completely different dog since going to Patient Paws. The training that she (Holly) or should I really say me!! LOL was very professional, kind, and caring. Training your dog is very much "you get out what you put in". We put in a lot and were rewarded with a very different dog at the end. Thank you Patient Paws we will be recommending you to all our friends.

I have a rescue dog that has become very jealous of my new grand baby. Cindy was absolutely amazing helping us through this adjustment. She is highly professional, well experienced, extremely knowledgeable and very caring. She truly has a passion for animals and wants you and your pets to be the best that they can be. Patient Paws is the only place I would ever consider taking my dog to!

We have 2 German Shepherd pups. When we called and spoke directly with Cindy we explained that they were anxious and needed some help. She enrolled us in a puppy class instead of offering individual sessions. We assumed she knew what was best but we were oh so wrong. It was a horrible experience from start to finish for the pups and my family. She is condescending and rude. The boys were barking in class and she said that she was not going to put up with that. If you can’t handle barking dogs you should not be a trainer. Waste of time and money.
