Training Should Make Life Better for Both of You
Living with a dog who pulls, lunges, struggles to settle, or feels overwhelmed by the world can be exhausting.
At Paws & Praise, we look beyond the behavior to understand why it’s happening. Through compassionate, science-based training, we help dogs build practical skills while giving their people the confidence to navigate everyday life together.
Find the Right Training Program For Your Dog:
Board & Train Programs
Personalized, force-free training in a safe, home-based environment. Our Board & Train programs focus on building confidence, strengthening everyday skills, and addressing behavioral challenges through individualized training and enrichment.
With regular progress updates, hands-on transfer lessons, and continued support, you’ll have the tools to build on your dog’s progress at home.
Private Dog Training
Work one-on-one with a professional trainer to address the skills and behaviors that matter most to you. Private training can help with puppy foundations, obedience, leash manners, reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding, and other everyday challenges.
Every session is tailored to your dog’s needs, your lifestyle, and your goals. You’ll receive hands-on coaching, practical exercises, and clear guidance so you can better understand your dog and confidently continue their progress at home.
Day Training & Adventures
Take your dog’s training beyond the home! Our Day Training adventures combine enrichment, exercise, and personalized training in real-world environments.
From exploring local trails to practicing skills around everyday distractions, each adventure helps build confidence, engagement, and practical life skills.
