Obedient Paws

We have a Mini American Shepard that was struggling with significant anxiety and was nipping guests. We boarded him for 4 weeks to try to adjust his behavior to improve is quality of life. With each training session we had with him we saw noticeable improvement and the staff was very supportive. By the time we brought our dog home, he was much more obedient and in control of himself. Would recommend 10/10

Our dog Scout is a Coonhound-Black Lab mix that we adopted from a shelter and has always been quite the escape artist. He has found the flaw in every fence and the weak link on any leash. He would never come when called, even inside our own house. After countless runaways and embarrassments, we decided to send him to Obedient Paws for recall training specifically. The workers there were very kind, knowledgeable, and listened to our needs. We came to as many training days as we could to make sure we were learning the most for our own benefit. Over the weeks of training, I watched Scout turn into a different dog. I really thought he would never change and that’s just who he is as a hound dog with a high prey drive. But Obedient Paws completely proved me wrong. Walking him is so pleasant now and we continue our recall training in the yard. He listens so well and is always looking to us for direction/permission. It’s like he knows he is safe now and doesn’t have to lunge at cars or howl at other dogs. We even used the training we have learned on our younger puppy and she is also changing into a better pup! We are so thankful for the trainers who not only trained our dog, but loved him throughout the process. Thank you again!

After having issues with basic commands and escaping multiple times, I decided to do the 4-week board and train for my rescue dog, Murphy. It is absolutely night and day what a difference Adam and his team did for Murphy. Going through the program and continuing the training at home, Murphy follows through commands that extend past what the board and train focused on. But that is because Murphy and I learned the foundation and established a great relationship where he sees me for direction. I truly struggled with training Murphy for months before finding Obedient Paws. It was worth every penny for the relationship I now have with Murphy. It was great being able to work and train with Murphy while he was going through the board and train so I would learn the skills to continue training at home. We now can go on runs, and he doesn’t pull or lunge towards other dogs/people. He also plays so much better with other dogs. There is also the added benefit that they provide dog daycare and boarding. Obedient Paws has become a second home for Murphy. I can rest easy when he’s at daycare or while I’m out of town because they already know him.
