FirstBarkPatient Paws is amazing! We have a two year old miniature dachshund with anxiety. Training has been something we’ve tried to do at home, but it wasn’t very successful. Cindy was so helpful and supportive when it came to our dog’s training. He took a five week course and the progress he’s made is wonderful.

Patient Paws was a great experience for our shy, timid mini golden doodle puppy. He was 4 months old when we got him, so many of his learned habits were difficult to break. After the first puppy class, Teddy never potted in our house. We ended up completing 2 sessions of Cindy’s classes and have made so much progress with him. Her class prices was very reasonable and had many different options for days or times. We also became friends with the other pet owners in the classes and gave each other ideas. I would 100 percent recommend Cindy’s classes to anyone or if we got another dog would complete them again. 🐾
We just finished the puppy class with Maeve, our new Mini Golden Sheepadoodle puppy. We could not be happier with the instruction and training we received! In fact almost all of the puppies will be together again in the next class to continue our experience! Thank you Cindy and team for such a great time!

Patient Paws was the best start for our new puppy! We wanted to give our puppy its best chance at success and decided to give Patient Paws a try, and I am so glad we did. Cindy (the instructor) is kind, patient, and reassuring. You can also tell she is a genuine dog/animal lover. She will take her time and work with you if you (or your puppy) is struggling with learning a new behavior. I worked with my puppy every day at home and the results were tremendous. We enjoyed the puppy classes so much that we also signed up for the Canine Manners classes. Once again, I'm so glad we did! My puppy is going on 8 months old now and knows several commands and new behaviors. I would have been lost trying to do this on my own. I can't recommend Patient Paws enough! Thank you, Cindy, for everything!

I can't say enough positive things about Cindy and her training program at Patient Paws. She is extremely attentive to the needs of every owner and dog in class, and provides guidance and suggestions tailored to their unique needs. I've completed both the Puppy and Good Manners class with my pup Huckleberry, and our growth from the very first day of class to today is incredible. I feel extremely confident now in my relationship with my energetic, excitable boy--which is very important to me as I have young kids at home and we plan on bringing him out with us often. I would recommend Patient Paws to any and all dog owners!
