Cindy is a wonderful trainer. We rescued an older dog from the shelter and Cindy trained us and the dog .

Highly recommend Patient Paws Positive Dog Training! I signed my 3 month old Golden Retriever up for the beginner puppy class and it is amazing how much we both learned in just 5 weeks. We took the training we learned in class and made a routine out of it at home and I’m not sure where we’d be without it! It’s created such a strong bond between myself and my puppy. I’m able to utilize her skills in different scenarios now and it’s so helpful. Winnie graduated her puppy class and we will be returning for the Next Step class in a few weeks. Can’t wait to continue learning with my pup!

We had a great overall experience at Patient Paws! Cindy is very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with! It was truly a joy watching our puppy Maverick learn each of the skills and excel. We highly recommend Patient Paws and will use again if we get another dog.

Cindy is an amazing trainer not only for the pups but for us as humans as well. She is patient and kind. She wants you and your pup to succeed and doesn't give up on anyone! I am sad that we are done training because we have truly seen a change in our new furbaby. He is calmer, more attentive, and well trained. Cindy is amazing and just awesome!!!

Really, really excellent experience. Cindy was recommended by our family vet and she was able to help troubleshoot an issue we were having integrating our new dog Gracie into our household. Her kind and gentle manner helped relax me and gave me good pointers with which to work. Gracie and I then took her introductory class to build trust, gain confidence, and learn basic commands. Gracie has come a huge way since we rescued her in December, and Cindy is owed a great debt of thanks for everything positive that we have experienced. If you do the work, you WILL see positive results. We HIGHLY recommend Patient Paws Positive Dog Training.
