FirstBarkWe took our puppy to Cindy’s Puppy Start Right and Canine Manners classes. She was very accommodating and we learned a lot from her. You can tell Cindy really loves and cares about dogs and she has a ton of knowledge. Our puppy also loves Cindy! I would recommend her classes to anyone and we plan to attend her Canine Good Citizen class when able. Thanks Cindy!

Treat lady (Ms. Cindy) always treated me like I was the bestest boy. She also helped my humans understand me better. Thanks, treat lady! ~Kimchi
The dog manners class has been wonderful for our beagle, Barney. Everything we have learned has been so helpful to redirect and correct Barney’s behaviors. Cindy is so patient and knowledgeable about training your dog to be the best they can be! Highly recommended!

We started our pup with Puppy Start Right classes, after absolutely loving it we quickly put him into the Canine Manners course! We are so happy with our decision and could not recommend Cindy and Patient Paws more even if we tried! We are excited to come back when our sweet Bodhi is a year old to the Canine Good Citizen course! This was such a great investment for our pup! (He also absolutely LOVED Cindy and his puppy pals at class)
Training with Cindy was a wonderful experience. She helped our rescue Dachshund, Athena—an alum of Midwest Dachshund Rescue—work through her anxiety and fear of people with patience and understanding. Thanks to Cindy, Athena learned all the essential skills she needed to feel confident, happy, and well-behaved. Cindy truly takes the time to understand each dog’s needs and sets them up for success.
