We just got our 9 month old golden doodle back after 8 weeks of intensive training. Trainer Charlee told us it may be an adjustment coming back home, but we are already blown away by how well he’s doing and calm he is (puppy brain and all). He’s been following commands with few/no reminders. He walks perfectly on the leash. He even will stay on his bed for extended periods of time. We have a disabled daughter so it was very important we trained Barley early to be a well-behaved doggo. Can’t recommend Paw and Hand enough!

This is the second dog I’ve had the pleasure of Merissa and her team training. They are wonderful!! They do a fabulous job of training the dogs and also getting owners up to speed. It’s great to have a dog that is trained. These folks are wonderful. Definitely the place to go to for your dog!

First, just to say overall, I couldn’t be happier with Paw and Hand. Freya came home last Friday and since we have been shopping all over with Freya right at my side. If Freya got a little distracted, I knew what to do because Paw and Hand made sure I had the tools and knowledge to ease the transition. Ellie was the perfect match as the trainer. She was very knowledgeable, always prepared, and professional. Ellie did an incredible job with Freya and I’ll be forever indebted. I did a lot of research before choosing Paw and Hand and I chose correctly! I thank you all with my whole heart for your hard work and dedication 🥰 Lia

Life changing experience. Our dog is family and for her to master the commands helps us not feel stressed when we’re out in public or worried she’s going to run off and not return. I’m so thankful for paw and hand working so tedious to help our little girl be the best version of herself!!

Paw & Hand was a huge blessing to us. We knew we wanted a dog-camp like training where they stay for an extended period and found them online. We chose the 4+ week Freedom Program. The reviews were great and that was our experience too. Our labradoodle Leo wasn’t a bad dog before but needed some better welcome manners, better leash walking, and more comfort in his kennel. They shape their training to your needs and having Leo back home has been amazing. It really is transformative what they accomplish in 4+ weeks. Charlee was our trainer and she rocked!
We also loved that it wasn’t just a program where they take your dog and then wish you luck at the end. We got to go train with Charlee and Leo every 2 weeks and then a take-home visit as well as 1 week and 1 month follow-ups after you take your dog home. They also send or post on IG lots of pictures and videos so you get to stay up to date.
We have been telling all of our family and friends to take their dogs here and will definitely be taking our future dogs here. The prices can seem daunting but it was so worth it and for us. Training costs are now just part of buying a dog after this experience. It makes a huge difference.
