Placid Paws Dog Training

After working with three other dog trainers, we found Sunghee and never looked back again. Her patient and calm style works really well with our frisky and anxious Havanese. Her methods are very different from most dog trainers but they are really genius and simple ways to see lasting change. I love that she does a combo of working with us, because we obviously need help as parents, but she also works one-on-one with our pup so that you have a good base to work off of. I also love how excited he is every time he sees her or even hears her name :-) We highly recommend her to any frustrated pup parent!

We adopted two year-old pups from a shelter in the South. They were energetic and supposedly "pals" but fought angrily with each other. After a week in our house we called a trainer who taught us some commands. But the fighting and out-of-control behavior and messing in the room we had them in made us regret having them and we considered giving them back. Fortunately my husband found Placid Paws and immediately we were relieved. The philosophy is to calm and change behavior so the dogs control themselves. The training videos and other options like visits and zoom classes made a huge difference in just a few weeks. We never thought the pups could be loose in the house, but they are now. Sometimes they get zoomies but we can control that. They are so loving and affectionate, we can't imaging life without them, and we have Placid Paws to thank for that.

We have learned so much from Sunghee at Placid Paws in just three weeks time! Sunghee is incredibly knowledgable and accesible, even while distanced e-learning. She clearly teaches the theory and principles with many examples, providing students with a diversified tool belt to work with their dogs. We feel much more connected to our dog Cookie, who is more comfortable in the world as we explore his psychology and emotionality. Thank you, Placid Paws!
