Coaching 4 paws

My dog Lily completed the 3-week Board & Train boot camp, and I truly can’t say enough good things about Coaching 4 Paws. We adopted Lily not knowing she was pregnant with nine puppies. During and after having them, she became reactive, especially toward my parents’ dogs, particularly their male dog, Bennie. It got to the point where I couldn’t bring her home with me, which really limited the time I could spend with my family. After researching trainers and reading the incredible reviews, Coaching 4 Paws stood out. Following a phone call with the owner, Carlos, along with my mom, we decided to send both Lily and Bennie for the 3-week program. I was extremely nervous about sending Lily away, considering everything she had been through. I had to put my emotions aside and do what was best for Lily. I am so glad I did! Lily is usually very skeptical of new people, but from the start she felt comfortable with Coach Caroline. Every picture and video I received showed Lily having fun and gaining confidence. I saw positive changes within the first week. She stopped barking and growling at people and dogs, and she and Bennie were able to coexist in the same room. It’s now been four weeks since training ended, and Lily is doing amazing. I can finally go home and bring her with me, and she gets along with my parents’ dogs. She is no longer reactive when people or dogs pass by, she looks to me and waits for my command instead. Coach Caroline made all of this possible. Leaving Lily with her, I knew she was being loved while also gaining the confidence and skills she needed. I received regular updates through text and Instagram with photos and videos of her progress, which meant the world to me. This program truly changed Lily’s life and mine.

The trainers here are great! Caroline did an amazing job training my 4 month old Cane Corso! It’s clear how much love and care she puts into her work, which made it easier to leave my Kira for her 3 week boot camp. My pup absolutely loved her, and the regular updates she sent kept me connected the whole time. Seeing the progress of her behavior has my family excited for her future training sessions here. Could not recommend enough!

We were struggling with our favorite child (3 yo rescue) resource guarding as well as reactivity to other dogs. Caroline did a fantastic job with training Eddie as well as us. We had visitors for Christmas, including a dog, and it was a much less stressful visit than previous ones. Caroline was super communicative while he was at the board and train and Eddie obviously both loved and respected her. Thank you Coaching 4 Paws!

My 6 month old German Shepard puppy came home after training for 3 weeks at Coaching 4 Paws a well mannered dog. She no longer pulls me across the backyard by the leash. Absolutely no leash pulling anymore. They taught her to stay in place while I walk away and does.not move until I tell her it’s ok. They taught her door manners which means she will sit at the door when I open it and no longer run out until I signal her it’s ok to walk out with me. She heels by my side like a champ! Faith was her trainer and transformed my little pup into a well mannered little lady. Words simply can’t express how well mannered she has now become. Thank you Coaching 4 Paws and Faith! Sharon
