I’ve tried many trainers to work with my dog Gregor, no one has helped me nearly as much as Vanessa.

She truly understands a dog, their personality and needs. She takes the time to work with you to figure out the best solution for their personality and your dynamic. I’ve had trainers give me one size fits all solutions that just don’t work with my dog. I felt crazy. Vanessa took the time to observe and get to know us and provide suggestions that work for us and our family.

Vanessa takes the time to educate you on canine behavior and how your actions impact them. I’ve seen amazing progress with my dog and I attribute that to working with her.

Vanessa is a great trainer, she is very patient and very communicative. She was able to train with a number of family members, teaching us each. The dogs loved her and looked forward to her coming each time. We are so happy to have chosen Pups and Paws.

Vanessa is an excellent trainer! Nana (my pup) was always excited to see her. She gives clear directions and assigns reasonable homework to reinforce the skills taught. I 1000% recommend. My puppy is a 100x better since finishing.

Vanessa was awesome with our pup & us. She helped us understand our pup’s needs better and ways to communicate effectively with him. The training sessions were well planned and worked wonders on our pup.
It was a pleasure working with Vanessa, would recommend any day.

My eight-month-old Rottweiler was very reactive toward other dogs…pulling away from me, barking etc. After only four sessions with Vanessa, he is now doing great when he’s at the park, and I can even walk him offleash now. I highly recommend Pups and Paws to anyone looking for a passionate and experienced dog trainer.

I absolutely love Vanessa she is amazing with the dogs, super sweet, and awesome with teaching you how to work with your dog! Highly recommend this place!

Vanessa is an amazing trainer!!! My dog Cairo has made so much progress since we reached out to her. She trains with you to make sure everything you’re dog learns, you can reinforce. I’m looking forward to Cairo not only being a good boy but a well trained dog. I would highly recommend her!

“They take such good care of my pup when I need to board her – she is always content and tired when I pick her up. The staff is always friendly and accommodating through it all.”

Vanessa is amazing and absolutely changed our lives for the better! We got a second dog and he was very different from our first in terms of energy and ease of training. After struggling, we gave Vanessa a call and after the first session we saw an immediate difference. Over the course of four sessions we learned so much from her, including impulse control, door manners, recall training and the beginning of reactivity training. Vanessa helped bring out our pup’s full potential and made learning the tools to train so easy. She’s also so kind and just a great person to work with. She’s also incredibly responsive and communicative. We can’t recommend her enough!

“Great friendly staff. My 11 month old lab puppy always comes home from daycare exhausted because she gets to play all day long. A tired puppy is a happy puppy! I have also boarded her here for a few days and they have treated her great and we’ve even used their grooming! Overall – very satisfied!”

Words alone cannot express how happy I am with Vanessa’s dog training service. My puppy showed so much improvement on day one of our first session. She was very receptive to all of our concerns and answered all of our questions we had about kanan. She is also available to answer any questions we have outside of training which gives us comfort. She also gave us so much insight on what/what not to do with our puppy. I highly recommend her 10/10!

“Great place to take your pup. I bring my dog here to get groomed and for boarding and they are great! Didn’t have to tell them to groom him while he was being boarded and they bathed and groomed him while he was there. Awesome customer service and quality of work for your money. Highly recommend!”

Milo, my husky, used to drag and pull me around. I even used to be scared to take him to the park because he was easily distracted with the environment around him. With Vanessa’s help he has improved substantially with only a few sessions. Taking him out has been stress free.

I have boarded my dog with Vanessa and was super happy with the service she provided. She kept me updated the whole time with photos from their walks and the dog park. She picked up and dropped off from my home, and my dog even came back with some new tricks she learned! It’s clear that Vanessa cares a lot about animals and is extremely patient when working with them. I would not trust anyone else with my dog.

Vanessa is very knowledgeable. She stayed focus during our sessions and my dog has improved overall.

“Huey spent 2 weekends with Vanessa ….she did an awesome job with his training!”

“I’ve been bringing Xena here for playtime for a little over a year now. They give her an exit bath before I pick her up and she’s perfect every time. She is tired when she gets home but that’s cause she had a chance to play. They always take care of my little girl. I Love this place! Amazing staff, Amazing service!”

Vanessa is great! She has helped so much with my puppy Hank and we both love her!!! We have both learned so much and we can’t wait to meet with her again. Highly recommend…Pricing is great as well.
