My husband and I took two different classes (Playful Puppies and Basic Obedience) with our two dogs adopted from Paws with trainer Brian, and both of us as well as our dogs really enjoyed the classes. Place is very organized and clean. Free easy parking on site is great. We learned a lot from the class materials and practices. Brian was also very knowledgable and skillful in personalizing training advice and techniques for each of our dogs. We really appreciate all of his help!

Sharon and the team here are exceptional! The programs they offer and their staff are all excellent. I highly recommend this organization to anyone looking to adopt, train, or just have fun with their pup.

I paid for basic in class training the instructor did not want to interact with my dog because he’s a pitbull he told me to FaceTime his phone to do the class from home I tried to get a refund they told me I couldn’t because the classes already started

My dog, Cali, is an anxious German Shepherd and I signed her up for the Positive Care and Maintenance Class to help with her confidence. Kristina Finney was incredibly helpful, patient, and thorough during classes. She provided clear instructions on how to handle Cali during her anxious moments and how to turn "scary" situations them into positive experiences. I am going to sign her up for another class at PAWS. Recommend!

Due to a recommendation, we decided to take the Obedience I group training with Mike. It was well worth our long commute. Each hour was well-structured with clear instructions that helped teach us and our little pooch so much. We are grateful for this class and Professor Mike for teaching us skills that will help our dog forever and highly recommend this class to everyone!

Mike, our trainer, was so upbeat and energetic! Our dog graduated from Obedience 1 with flying colors. We learned sit, down, stay, wait, leave it, come, go to your bed, and walking next to you. We are thrilled with how our dog has done and will be signing up for future classes.

The space is very open and they have more than enough space and materials to keep the dogs focused. Highly recommend to anyone looking for obedience classes!

My dog and I recently completed the basic/beginner obedience class and has a fantastic experience. Mike was friendly, helpful, and you can tell he is genuinely committed to helping individuals with training their dog. As a first-time dog owner, this class was great with learning the do's and don'ts of training and I saw great improvement in my dog over the weeks.

I'm excited to start intermediate training in January.

Constructive feedback: the intro class (human's only) was somewhat unnecessary because most everything had already been sent in an email/was FAQ type of content. I think that time would have been better as an additional class with our dogs, as the hour always flew by. Secondly, it might be helpful for PAWS to put together a weekly recap, because sometimes it was a lot of learnings and homework to remember for home.
