Our puppy, Gunther, attended kindergarten and two weeks of puppy day camp and loved every minute he was there! He was nervous at his first kindergarten class but slowly warmed up and the classes helped him socialize with other dogs. The trainers at the day camp were very kind and caring of the puppies! Gunther ended the week learning 3 skills really well! He was also exhausted after every morning in camp and slept most of the afternoon which was great. Susan runs a great service and is committed to making sure you feel comfortable as a dog parent. As a first time dog parent, I had a lot of questions and did a private session with Susan. She was patient and answered all of my questions even outside of the session. I’m really glad I found such a wonderful place to help Gunther enjoy and learn in his puppy years!

Fantastic new place right on 45th! They just moved in July and the space is really nice, big windows, lots of light and brightly painted.
Our puppy Miko, small Havanese 6.8 pounds, just loves it here and can't wait to go. When we get there, he almost jumps out of our arms. Dogs are honest and this says so much.
They manage little ones very well and provide training during the Puppy Camp. This has helped so much for a highly energetic and extremely friendly pup. He gets to play with all size dogs and they do a great job at watching and managing them all.
We totally trust and so appreciate Susan and the entire team! Thank you for being there.

I originally took my puppy to Seattle Wonder Dogs and the puppy play there really stressed my puppy out. I then switched over and took classes with Susan at Paws4Training. She is knowledgeable and really cares about the animals. She gave my puppy the time and environment he needed to come out of his shell.

We have loved our experience with Paws4training! Our pup Leo started here with puppy kindergarten, went to puppy day camp, and finished with middle school classes. Susan is welcoming and knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs. She gives great feedback and always makes room for questions. Leo’s experience was positive as he always got excited whenever we got near the door. We definitely recommend Paws4training!
