SixPaws Dog Training

So glad to have found SixPaws! Veronique is an excellent trainer! As a first-time dog “parent,” enrolling my rescue dog 6 days after adopting him was the best thing I ever did! He and I both learned much more than I expected. Small group classes in the park (rather than a noisy pet store environment like other programs) helped him go from timid & shy to the ultimate social “dog’s dog!” Not only does he love other dogs now, but I’m able to take him everywhere, and he receives tons of compliments on his well-mannered behavior—which formed on a strong foundation built by SixPaws training!

We just finished working with Veronique Pineau of Sixpaws Dog School on our mixed bull terrier that we got 3 months ago from the Pasadena Humane Society. While he had no physical issues he certainly has some emotional issues that come out with extreme pulling and being over aggressive with other dogs. Veronique did a great job in getting him, Chance, calmed down and much more attentive. I can take him out now for walks where before Veronique worked with him that was impossible. He pays a lot more attention to us now and responds to simple commands like “sit” and “come”. We would highly recommend using the services of Sixpaws Dog School. Thank you Veronique.

We moved to Ventura from a house with a yard to a condo without one, and our French Bulldog, Lorenzo, really struggled with the transition. He started acting out on walks, clearly stressed and unhappy—and that took a toll on all of us. It even made it hard to enjoy our new surroundings. Then we had a training session with Veronique, and everything changed. Lorenzo opened up in a way we hadn’t seen before. He’s now so much better on his walks, more relaxed, and noticeably happier overall. We were given clear, practical tools to help him succeed—not just on walks, but in his interactions with other dogs too. This training truly helped lift the emotional weight Lorenzo had been carrying and made a huge difference for our family. We’re so grateful. I absolutely recommend this service to anyone who wants to better understand and support their dog.

Veronique is such a wonderful trainer and human being! We needed guidance and support with our beautiful Staffy Sasha, whom we adopted from the shelter. Sasha is such a kind, highly energetic and emotional girl. The apple of our eyes! Sasha is amazing with us at home, and still had such anxiety toward other dogs. And very happily hyper around new humans. We dreamed of walking with her out in the world. But especially helping her feel more and more free, calm and guided. Veronique taught us many wonderful commands, games and gentle, wise interactions with Sasha. We apply them each day. Sasha loves them and we see constant progress. Veronique's training is always kind and positive. It's about consistency, small rewards and unconditional love. Thank you so much, Veronique. We look forward to working with you in the future. You've been a gem to us all. Julia, Vlad, Zhenya, Toshi, Grandpapa
