Cindy is amazing. We learned so much through her positive training! Our Willow, who had a rough start to life, has learned basic training through positive reinforcement. She is still a puppy, but with this training she has learned the basic skills to become a much calmer member of our family and is less socially awkward. I highly recommend Patient Paws to ANYONE who needs help with their fur babies!!

Cindy is a great trainer for our pup and family! We completed puppy start right and moved on to good manners quickly thereafter. It’s been awesome seeing how our puppy has grown from taking both of the classes. We practice and use the tools we learned every day. I also love how excited our girl gets once she realizes we are going to school. She loves her teacher and is so excited to get to her classroom and “warm up”. I’m confident my large breed girl will continue to grow. We plan on coming back for our good citizen once she turns one! We highly recommend Patient Paws.

Cindy’s training classes were beyond helpful! She knew exactly how to tailor training to fit my dog’s very anxious personality. He is so much happier and more confident. So much change in 5 classes!

I took my dog here twice for basic training classes. Both times we went we learned something new. My dog is a rescue and suffers from a lot of anxiety and PTSD. Cindy’s classes have tremendously helped her become more confident, learn basic commands, and overcome some of her fears. I’m so thankful for Cindy’s knowledge and support throughout our journey. I would recommend her to everyone, with any dog, and any behavioral issue.

We attended puppy and manners classes with our puppy Taco and I am so glad we did. Cindy is very experienced in positive training methods and has experience with a wide variety of dogs. Class size is limited so she gives individual attention to each family. Highly recommended!
