Question on Google
We don't have potty training or leash walking issues. We have dog fighting aggressive issues with no known triggers. Can you help?. A Large Rottweiler?

I also have a dog that attacks the other dog in my home, (& has fought other dogs too) seemingly unprovoked, did anyone get help with this company for these specific issues?

Brisket did amazing and his progress was great to watch. We were updated Monday thru Friday on the progress he was making with videos and pictures. We were given step by step instructions when we bought him home to help remember everything. Can’t stay enough about Coach Caroline she did a wonderful job with Brisket.

We sent our dog Latte to Coaching4Paws for the four-week board and train, and we’re so glad we did. Coach Caroline worked with him, and she was amazing. Before the training, Latte was sweet but kind of all over the place, and would get easily distracted. After we picked him up, he’s much calmer, listens way better, and is just more grounded overall. You can tell Caroline really understands dogs. She was super patient with Latte in helping him stay calm and focused, even in situations that used to stress him out. We know the work doesn’t stop here, so we’re going to keep up the training at home to stay consistent with everything Latte learned. Caroline gave us clear guidance and tools to continue reinforcing the behaviors, and we’re excited to keep building on the progress he made during the program. Huge thanks to Coach Caroline and the team at Coaching4Paws. We’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for real results and a thoughtful approach to training.

We just finished the 3 week board and train boot camp for our 1 year old dog, Cooper. Caroline was absolutely amazing with him. He has come such a long way in the time he stayed with them. The communication is the best. We loved getting the daily videos on Instagram and the updates through text. They keep such good care of the dogs and treat them as their own. I love that they also take them out into real life situations, with hikes, bringing them into stores and around people. So far we are very pleased with his progress. Caroline was very good with also incorporating my kids in on learning the training as well. She was very thorough on what to do when we go home. The continued classes they offer will be very helpful! The owner was also very personable and friendly as well! I would definitely recommend this business if your looking to improve your dog!

Absolutely Outstanding Dog Trainer! Faith is truly amazing! From the moment I started working with her, it was clear she has a deep passion and talent for training dogs. She’s patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire process both effective and enjoyable. My Rottweiler, Daisy, not only learned quickly but also had so much fun doing it. Faith took the time to understand my needs and gave me the tools and confidence to continue training at home. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dog trainer! Thank you Coaching 4 Paws and Faith!!

Carlos from Coaching 4 Paws truly cares about dogs and their families, not just making money. When I contacted him about my 13-year-old black mouth cur who struggles with other dogs (especially smaller ones), he could have easily pushed his $3,800 three-week boarding program. Instead, he listened to my concerns about being separated from my dog for that long and the cost. Carlos offered practical, honest advice that has made all the difference. He suggested we continue our gradual introduction process with my girlfriend’s 12-year-old chihuahua, but recommended using a muzzle as a safety precaution. This simple suggestion has been a game-changer. We’ve now had five successful sleepovers! Initially, we kept the muzzle on the whole time, but we’ve progressed to only using it during sleep. After over a year of cautious introductions, Carlos’s advice finally gave us the confidence to move forward safely. It’s rare to find a trainer who prioritizes what’s best for you and your dog over profit. Carlos could have easily taken my money, but instead he gave me free advice that actually solved our problem. His genuine approach and practical solutions make him someone I’d recommend to anyone facing similar challenges.
