We are so grateful for Paw and Hand K9. Everyone was so amazing to our Gus boy… especially Jessica. He absolutely loves her. Jessica was able to turn our guy into a well behaved dog… (he was a hot mess before he was part of the behavior modification program) Being able to take him for a walk without being reactive is AMAZING!! Thank you all so much for helping him be the best dog EVER!!

Professional, personable, expert canine and owner training. Our pup, Fynn, was another level better dog when he returned home. We would have had to give him up otherwise.

Merissa and her staff and program are simply amazing and if I could give them more than 5 stars I would. I am definitely one of those people who reads reviews before I jump into something but and let me just say working with them was such a blessing in disguise I never knew I needed. From the first initial meeting I knew I was going to be in the right hands with my journey with my pup. My experience working with Merissa was amazing. She was calm, patient and kind and really worked hard to make sure I was set up for success and is an absolute wealth of knowledge. I could reach out to her for any issues that would arise and she was always so responsive and helpful in helping me work problems out until our next appointment or if we really needed it, to jump into the next appointment available! I got the pleasure of being able to do group work classes for a few weeks as well as the 6 week board and train program. Both were absolutely amazing!! She really took the time to break things down even if it ment taking the time to help us understand what was being asked (let's be honest lots of owner training 😂). The follow up sessions during our board and train were spot on and she really opened the floor for us as owners to talk about what we really wanted out of the program. The experience from start to finish over exceeded my expectations. Through the time we spent in this program even though we all worked hard it really opened my eyes that my current pup at the time and I just did not fit as a team and even though it was hard to make the decision to have her move on to a family that was a better fit I can not thank Paw and Hand K9 enough for the experience they gave me through it all. From start to finish Merissa and team were down to earth and simply amazing and clearly love what they do. If you are looking for amazing people for help with you and your dog I would not hesitate to come here. I can't wait for the day when we are ready to add a new family member and start our training journey again! Thanks Paw and Hand K9 for all you do!
Really good space for dogs to experience varied situations and activities.
