Paws in Motion Dog Training & Boarding, LLC

Christina is the best dog trainer there is!! We dropped off our almost 2 year old Husky/Shepherd mix rescue for the 3 week training. She was a timid and nervous girl, but also very reactive to other dogs and people. We wanted to help her build confidence and learn how to control her impulses. Christina helped us understand how to communicate with her and give her the job she needed. Now she is a model citizen and is such a confident happy girl! We know we can trust her off leash, and it has made our bond with her even stronger. It completely changed our lives! Thank you Christina!!

I highly recommend using PIM. Christina is an exceptional dog trainer who was able to transform my stubborn, high energy, high drive bernedoodle during his 14-day board & train. Christina not only trained my dog, Grizzly, but also taught me how to recognize his pre-misbehavior signs & how to correct him beforehand. Our city walkabouts are much better now that we both have been trained by Christina. I absolutely loved the daily photos and videos of Grizzly. As each photo/video came in I was amazed at his transformation. I couldn't believe that was my Grizzly. Plus, he was always smiling in his photos which put my mind at ease that he was being treated kindly & well taken care of during his stay Thank you Christina! I'm truly grateful & thankful for all you've done for us. Grizzly says HI and misses your snuggles too. 🧡

Christina is absolutely amazing — a true dog whisperer! She completely transformed our puppy into a confident, well-mannered dog who actually listens to her commands and is so much calmer overall. The progress we saw was incredible, and the techniques Christina taught us made a huge difference. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective dog trainer.

I sent my River girl for the 2 week board and train. River is a good girl but has some puppy traits(jumping) and was hard to walk on leash. I was unable to find her motivation to do what I was asking. I can’t speak highly enough about everything River learned and her amazing behavior now. Her impulse control is so great, I don’t have anxiety about taking her places or having people over to my house. She is so well behaved and does so well with all of her commands, all while keeping her same joyful energy that makes her River. I cannot recommend Paws in Motion enough. I was taught everything and was sent home with written instructions so I could reinforce the training and teach any family and friends that she would be around. It has been the best thing for all of us!

Could not suggest a better place to train your dog! We are so ecstatic with the results! At just 10 months old our little lab has more freedom thanks to Christina! River Lee enjoyed everyday here she almost didn’t want to return home! Below are some photos of our recent trip to Applehill to test out some of her amazing new skills like posing for photos by herself and being in public settings with no reactions just pure joy!
