I was looking for someone to assist me with training my Psychiatric Service Dog on the heels of a truly heinous experience with my first service dog. I turned to friends and my PSDs puppy trainers for recommendations since I wanted a trusted referral. I contacted the group several times before hearing back from Shari (owner) and we made arrangements for a consultation. The sales pitch sounded good and I got to meet the trainer I'd be working with. We made arrangements for first lesson and everything was good and a second lesson followed. When reaching out to make a third appointment, the trainer said Shari would be in touch. I never heard back, despite keeping in touch to schedule and also notify of a personal emergency and when Is be next available. I made the choice to end the relationship with Paws Training after lack of communication. Due to the nature of the training I was looking for it was necessary to find a new training program for service work. In addition, some of the policies and training explanations provided re: Service Dog training and public access didn't sit well with me - for example allowing SD on bench seats in restaurants. The pricing seems too good to be true for something as intense as SD training and I quickly discovered it was. You get what you pay for and in this case, it was far from a good deal.

Horrible service. All the good reviews are fake. After going to a $180 consultation, we were told we would hear back after a week. It has been months and we have contacted Shari many times but she didn’t respond or call back.

I have been getting dog training for what started out with a very vocal hyper puppy that was my first puppy. Over the four years she became the den mom, my service dog and earned 3 titles. This dog has come full circle. Plus the environment that the paws training group creates sets you up for success.

We booked an initial consultation for $150 and we gave Shari $30 tip. After that day, we have never heard back from them. When we tried to contact them, they never got back to us. Overall, we were extremely disappointed and it was a waste of time

Great dog training, great dog sitting for vacations. Shari loves dogs more than people she will do anything for an animal.
