Questions & answers

From Google

What people have asked about this business.

Can you train racoons

Racoons can be trained, yes. In order to possess and train a racoon you need a permit from your state Fish and Game, Department of Natural Resources, etc. I don't recommend keeping captive racoons, and definitely don't recommend interacting with wild ones, especially as they are one of the primary carriers of rabies in the Eastern US, and also because it's not a good idea t habituate wildlife to humans. If you are asking if we can train them here at Peaceable Paws, the answer is no, we do not have a permit.

Pat is so knowledgeable, and everyone at Peaceable Paws was so attentive; they made sure I knew what to expect and answered all of my questions. They take time to get to know each of the dogs that are boarding with them; they learn their personalities and how to bring out the best in each dog!

I encourage all who are thinking of trusting Pat Miller with your dog take a look at their Facebook comments, specifically one under Susan Fredinburg's post where Susan shares an experience she had as director of a shelter, where a customer was angry anout missing his dog and when the shelter could help him he went out to his car and started to beat his other dog, he then came back in to try and intemidate Susan and the other staff. After reading this story Pat decided to comment, "not ok that he was abusing the other dog but... Maybe we need to realize that perhaps he is very stressed by the loss of his dog- and aggression is caused by stress- in humans, just like it is in dogs..." in this comment Pat reveals that she believes that it is ok to take your aggression out on an innocent animal if you are stressed, if you are willibg to take the chance of her beating your dog when ever she gets stressed by all means send your dog but I personally would never trust someone with this frankly disgusting opinion any where near my beloved animals. Any person that can justify abusing an animal shouldn't be trusted with their livelihoods.

I had a wonderful experience working with Lucy at Peaceable Paws. She was so kind, patient, and insightful. Her guidance gave me clarity and confidence, and it’s clear she truly cares about both dogs and their people. Highly recommend!

Pat Miller has been a tremendous help, over the years. First, with my rescue dog Sonny Boy, he was a very challenging rescue due to extreme abuse he experienced in one of his previous adopters homes. Pat provides a "new" way to view your pet, creates a way for you to understand your pet/human relationship, a pathway to a loving and rewarding companion! I had Sonny Boy 12 years! Now on to Buddy Boy, my new pup! Pat has already been helpful!
