About Paws for Thought Dog Training
At Paws for Thought Dog Training, we provide positive-reinforcement based training services tailored to you and your dog. We prioritize a dog-first mentality by identifying what aspects of a dog’s environment, genetic predisposition, and temperament will play a role in determining long-term success. We also account for each human’s unique priorities, capabilities, and lifestyles. Through this lens, we are able to create behavior solutions and training plans that move the human-dog team towards success.

Program details
Virtual training sessions are tailored to out-of-area clients and those who have particularly sensitive dogs that may not be in the best learning position with a new person in their home. Virtual training sessions mirror in-home sessions in both form and function.
- Private training
Program details
During our in-home training sessions, we first gather background information to build a thorough understanding of the dog and human's needs. We then create a customized training plan and help you implement this training plan with a combination of follow-up and homeschool sessions.

Maddie is fantastic! Her approach is very holistic and thorough. She is interested in all of the details of your dog's behavior, health, routine, etc. to work towards understanding what is going on and to be able to create a very workable plan to address the issues. She gives you detailed notes after every session with instructions on how to practice what she taught you. She is fabulous and I cannot recommend her more highly!
we have worked with maddie for a short time, but wow what a difference. maddie is wonderful, patient with both of us and our dog. she can work miracles as long as you, the grownup, follows her suggestions.
Maddie has worked with us 3 times now, and I have found her to be professional, knowledgeable, and very likeable. She has had some great suggestions that will hopefully help my dog. I recommend her without reservation.
Maddie is very knowledgeable, cares for the well being of the pup as well as the one of his receiving family. A great session - can't wait to put into practice what she shared with us!
