This dog training place is been our life saver. We have a mixed poodle, got him when he was a baby and now 1 year. He is completely a home buddy who dont like strangers at all specially kids. We have 2 kids and he is treating like his buddy and for some reason other kids are not his thing. He tends to try to attact them everytime he sees kids. He dont like stangers at all and hates being ignored. We decided to find a place for him to be trained and lucky I found this place. After his 1 month camp, he is completely a different dog, from then on, this is the only place I can trust my dog with any kinds of training and boarding. I highly recommend obedient paws for any kinds of training.

We were desperate. Echo, our 1 year old hound mix adopted from a shelter, had many issues. We are his 3rd home; he had separation anxiety, was nonstop pulling on the leash, knew commands but would not obey, stubborn, pushy & bratty. A weekly training class close to home didn’t really help. It was not working out, and mom, the primary caretaker, was not happy. We were getting close to returning him, but our kids loved him. ObedientPaws 4 week Boot Camp was a choice we are glad we made! Oh boy, who knew what a love this little guy could be! His anxiety is way down and he is much more comfortable in his own skin. Walking him is now pleasant. He immediately responds to commands, no more thinking about it & then declining the invitation. Adam and his team spent a lot of time training not just Echo but also us (especially dad). They encouraged coming to training sessions as often as possible, did one on one with us, and provided helpful insights. This process is as much parent training as puppy training and they do a great job. Training doesn’t stop on graduation from Boot Camp and Adam contacted us the next day to see how it was going and offer advice. We aren’t the type to comment online but Adam and his team deserve recognition. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for returning our household to peace & happiness!

I brought my golden retriever Bentley to Obedient Paws for a 3 week boot camp because he was barking all the time, demanding and just wouldn’t listen.

I brought my golden retriever Bentley to Obedient Paws for a 3 week boot camp because he was barking all the time, demanding and just wouldn’t listen. He would jump up when anyone entered my house and it was getting to the point I couldn’t have people over. After just a few short days of working with Adam and the team I started noticing a huge difference. Bentley was craving the structure and was thriving. They truly took great care of him and he is such the perfect dog now. I loved how they always welcomed me to come work with him so it was an easy transition to bringing him home. Thank you to Obedient Paws!!!

i brought my puppy to the boot camp for 3 weeks & he’s behaving so much better than he was ! the staff was extremely nice & encouraging when it came to coming for visits & was very helpful while teaching me how to handle my puppy. i will definitely be bringing him back for daycare every now & then for him to release some energy & socialize :)

We went to Adam and his awesome team to see if he could help us with our Great Pyrenees, Siopao. He went in with social/separation anxiety and fear based aggression which made it impossible to have people over or just take him on walks. We initially started with 3 weeks but decided to do the four week boot camp in the end because at first our big baby was reluctant, and it took just the first week to get him use to Adam, but overtime Siopao started to open up and take treats from people he didn’t know, and was even able to be put with other dogs which was amazing to see. He learned several commands and has learned not to pull on the leash which has been extremely useful on walks since he’s a big dog. He also does so much better with company around, which we had such a hard time before to calm him down. We are grateful that we came to Adam at Obedient Paws than any other place ‘cause you can really tell he cares and puts time in individually to each dog and the issue they came in with. You can tell all the dogs also respect him and that itself is amazing, we will continue to bring Siopao into daycare just so he can see his best friend Adam, his pal Zeus and all the other workers he loves being around. Thanks everyone at Obedient Paws, and Adam! I’m sure we’ll see ya’ll soon again Lol.
