The Gold Standard of dog training. We paid for 2 hours and got 2 1/2. Tons of help with our dog learning new skills and dealing with specific problems. Pat have us a huge amount of material to take home and use with our dog, plus has followed up with us several times since then. Could not recommend this service more highly!

Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat 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.

Best dog training ever!
Awesome training available here . Well worth the trip. I've been here several times and will come back again soon.
Wonderful experience at Shaping Workshop! Pat Miller lives and breathes her philosophy of treating all animals with dignity and respect. As a newbie I was nervous but need not have been because her philosophy extends to human animals as well.
