The first thing I noticed upon entering the bright, clean drop off room at Magic of Paws was that there was no odor. Our 3 1/2 year old female border collie was excited to be there for this second experience. No dragging of paws!
Upon pick up at the day’s end, she was excited to see us but then ran back to Nick as if to say goodbye before zipping out of the office gate to us. Successful experience again! Nyssa and Nick are very kind and knowledgeable people who catered to our dog’s needs.

Our two dogs love Magic of Paws! They go twice a week and are always happy to see the staff and to play with their doggie friends. And they go for over nites too! Nick, Dorothy and Nyssa know them well and alway takes such good care of them.

Our training experience with Magic of Paws was much more than we expected. Our trainer was experienced, knowledgeable and focused on working to get a positive start to our goals for our BorderAussie. In addition, she is studied in the science of animal behavior and how to use physical and mental characteristics to obtain maximum benefit.
We would recommend them to anyone serious about pet training.
