Great and totally worth it. If you are in a position where you just got a puppy but work and just life in general tire you out, highly suggest this! When i got Archie any spare time i had was spent trying to train him, but it wasn't enough. In the month i have gotten Archie back he seems like a completely different dog from before the training. After taking the training and transitioning it to home(didn't take much), Archie is more free and hardly ever on a leash unless we are on a walk.

I sent my 10 month old Labraheeler Sable for the board and train All-Star Obedience program with Ron. My biggest issue was her pulling me every time we went out.
We had a great experience, both her and I came back with training on walking appropriately, bed stays and overall obedience. Our walks have turned into more fun now that I’m not being pulled everywhere and she’s learned to entertain herself a bit more while I work from home.
Everyone there was very supportive and friendly, and helped me build more confidence with my pup. I would highly recommend them.

We sent our 10mo German Shepherd to the Freedom program. Prior to the program, we did private training with her weekly, however she still ignored us, chased dogs, bikes, and people while hiking. After working with Charlee, she has done a 180, it is night and day! She is now able to be off leash and walk loose leash. She doesn't run away anymore. She actually understands her commands. I was very nervous about sending her away for 8 wks however, everyone was so nice and communicated all the time. We are so pleased with everyone here and the process at Paw and Hand K9. I could not recommend Paw and Hand K9 more. Our family even flew their dog here because we loved it so much. Thank you

I’m a hard reviewer. I know this is long. But if you’re “on the fence“ about having your dog trained, read this.
We took our pups, Jack and Jill, to three different trainers.
The first two couldn’t do anything.
The second one, which our vet called “the dog whisperer,” spent less than 45 seconds in our house, with the dogs barking like crazy at his feet, and said “you need to take them to Paw and Hand K9.”
We checked out their website, read their reviews and wondered if we could possibly afford to do this.
It was the best investment we’ve made in a long time.
At Paw and Hand K9, Jesse was absolutely fantastic with our two babies.
He trained them on site, took them to parks and urban areas walking them and training them to behave in a good manner.
He even took Jack, “the dog that nobody could train,” to a pet food store for a walk with other dogs and people in the building!
He sent us a video of it and we were blown away.
When they would go on outdoor excursions with Jesse, he would make sure they were cleaned up, nails, trimmed, and taken care of like we would.
Amazing.
If you truly want your dog to be trained in a loving, caring RESPONSIBLE place, look no further than Paw in Hand K9. We will be forever grateful that we did.
By the way… Jack will now sits on command and stays on command. He no longer barks at the fence. We still have work to do with him… But he has that foundation that he needed. In the photo, Jack and Jill are at a public park with other dogs and people. Jill’s on the left, Jack on the right. Both dogs aren’t paying attention to what’s going on around them. They are paying attention to Jesse.
We will be forever grateful to them for what they did to help us. THANK YOU Paw and Hand K9!
