We just finished the Canine Manners class with our 8 month old large breed dog, Luna. We can't recommend Cindy with Patient Paws enough! Just in 5 weeks Luna has become so much more behaved and follows commands well. Looking forward to her next class.

We had such a great experience with the Canine Manners program! My husband and I attended with our dog, Cooper, and we all truly benefited from the class. We’ve already seen noticeable improvements in Cooper’s ability to follow directions and his overall behavior. Cindy was incredibly patient with Cooper, even though he barked off and on during each class. Her calm and understanding approach made a big difference and helped us stay encouraged throughout the process. The class was engaging, informative, and gave us practical tools that we can continue to use at home. It also helped us feel more confident and consistent as dog owners. We really enjoyed the experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship with their dog and build better habits.
Couldn’t recommend Patient Paws enough! My dog has learned many good behaviors and manners through these classes. Cindy is an amazing trainer and my dog is eager to learn during every class. I would recommend Cindy to anyone that is looking for a knowledgeable and friendly positive reinforcement trainer.

Cindy A. is a fantastic trainer. My puppy loved her as well. Cindy A. teaches using positive training techniques. She allows owners to practice and provides advice as needed as we train our puppies. As a result using positive training my puppy devloped confidence and let her personality show. My puppy was eager to learn each lesson. I really appreciated the small classes as they provided more individualized instruction. The puppies were also given an opportunity to greet and play together. I recommend Cindy A. without reservation! We are already signed up for obedience class!
