Preparing for Pet Therapy Evaluation? Trust me when I tell you… Paws and Possibilities is the trainer for you! Jovone, Krista, and Susan are the winning combination for success. They are kind, tough, encouraging, dedicated, and just plain awesome! With an unlimited membership plan and multiple sessions per week, you work at your own pace. You decide if you want to take your time or push your team to be ready sooner. Either way, you and your dog will be well prepared to volunteer in your community. I’m proud to say, “This is my pet therapy dog, Brenna!” Thank you Paws and Possibilities, we couldn’t have done it without you! 🐾

Working with Kim and her team has been an absolute life saver! We have worked with P&P with both our beloved pups and while both dogs were very different, we found the consistency, training fundamentals, personal relationship we developed with Kim and other trainers, and above and beyond support we received were exactly what we (family and dogs) needed to feel connected, successful and happy. Our pets are our family and P&P made it possible for us to live together with ease, joy and harmony.

I strongly recommend Paws and Possibilities (PAP) for dog training. My son found PAP a year earlier when he rescued Gary, and based upon his satisfaction with the program, we enrolled.
PAP did not disappoint. We started with PAP when Sandi was four months old, and with guidance from these excellent trainers, she has made great strides. We are currently worked toward Pet Therapy certification.

Best dog trainer on the planet! I hear Kim is great with Marine mammals also.😉I have contracted Kim for various issues with my rescue pup. She has always been so knowledgeable and helpful.
Kim and her staff truly can connect with canines.
Paws and possibilities has an exceptional staff.
I highly recommend Kim and everyone at Paws and possibilities. I have learned so much from them over the years. As a client you are able to go back and review your own personal training sessions via You Tube. Just one example of Kim’s
Commitment to personalized service.
