Why Choose Perfect Paws?graduates

It is our life and our love.  Greater than 90% of our customers are referred to us by professionals in the pet care field or come to us by word-of-mouth referral - from other satisfied customers!
Training is all we do. We don't sell food. We don't walk dogs. We don't board dogs. We don't bath dogs. We just train dogs. 
About our Training Classesgraduates2
Our goal is to teach you to train your dog to be the companion you want. We believe everyone's needs are unique and we style our training accordingly. We can help you build the confidence of a shy dog; tone down the exuberance of a hyperactive or feisty dog; teach your dog to behave around other dogs and people; prevent and solve annoying problems such as jumping up, pulling on leash, or getting into the garbage; and of course the fundamentals of obedience. We believe training should be a fun and rewarding experience for both you and your dog. We also believe that there must be a mutual bond of trust and respect between you and your dog in order to get the most enjoyment and fulfillment from your relationship together.

Our classes are small, allowing us to give you maximum personal attention.waving dog gif
We use gentle, innovative and positive reinforcement methods.
Our classes are indoors in a pleasant and comfortable environment.
Our location has convenient street parking.

We believe the dog is a family pet and therefore the entire family can and should be involved in training. We welcome and encourage the entire family to attend class.

Requirements:

Dog training is a very physical activity. You must be prepared to be on your feet and moving at a brisk pace for most of the 50-minute class. Interacting with your dog during class requires that you be capable of bending at the waist to apply positive rewards to your dog. Sensible shoes are required. High heels, flip-flops and other types of shoes that limit your mobility or are unsafe are not allowed.

PLEASE NOTE: Children must be 10 years of age or older and prepared to actively participate in order to attend classes. Children who are not capable of participating are a distraction to you and the other class members. Please arrange appropriate childcare at home.
Perfect Paws reserves the right to remove a dog from class if it exhibits predatory or aggressive behavior towards other dogs or people, or the instructor determines that the safety of the classroom is compromised. There are no refunds for dogs expelled from class.
