What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Barnaby 
Barnaby cowered when anyone tried to pet him, was afraid of his doggy-door and loud noises, and had separation anxiety. He would hear a dog bark or see a person walk in front of the house and go nuts. He lunged and bit a few dogs and even some family members. We went through a few trainers and began to think that nothing could be done. Troy helped Barnaby learn to be off leash and coexist around other dogs and people! Barnaby began sniffing and actually playing with other dogs like a normal, well adjusted dog! He is a calmer, happier dog. Thank you Troy!

Bailey
Bailey lunged, growled, and barked at other dogs. Walking her was a nightmare. We felt we were in over our heads and we were expecting our first child. After searching for a dog trainer near me, we met with Troy and on the first day he had her playing with other dogs and being a good girl on a leash. It was amazing! Troy showed us how to keep her calm and now we feel comfortable and in control, walks are enjoyable, and we can trust her around our kids. We are thrilled that Troy continues to help us when we struggle with any issues. We highly recommend Paws to Train Your Dog!

Hobbit
We started training with Troy for our dog Hobbit and we are so impressed with Troy's knowledge, commitment, insight and techniques! He spends as much time educating us as he does Hobbit. We always leave feeling good about what we've learned and look forward to the next session. Thank you Troy for making this world a better place for dogs and their owners! You're the best!

Zara
I was having problems with my French bulldog, Zara, listening to commands, staying off furniture, interactions with other dogs, and walking on a leash. I looked for dog training near me, met with Troy and right away he was able to calm Zara down. I was amazed by how quickly Zara responded to him. Zara stayed with Troy for 3 weeks and what a difference it made! Now Zara listens to me and I can take her to work with me everyday. Im very happy and I recommend Paws To Train Your Dog for any dog!

Stanley
After searching for a puppy trainer near me, we met with Troy. He has been an amazing help with our new puppy! His knowledge and commitment are second to none! He worked with us to help make Stanley's transition to his forever home a smooth one. Troy has always been available for follow-up lessons and email advice after the training to encourage us and answer any questions that have come up. I highly recommend Troy for puppy training!
~ Beth & Don Schmal | Phoenix Az
Sinbad
Sinbad was not good around kids and we were expecting a baby. When family came over, we were not sure if he wanted to hurt them, we just did not trust him, so we locked him away. We already invested a lot of time and money in trainers who couldn't help when we found Troy at Paws To Train Your Dog. Sinbad still gets excited, but he’s now the best trained dog we ever had. I can walk him with our baby in the stroller without any trouble, they are now best buddies! Thank you again Troy for all your help!

Why Training Your Dog is Important
The day you bring a new dog into your home, your dog is learning every moment, with or without your help. What may appear as cute behaviors now may not be cute later. Without clear and consistent communication, dogs can become anxious and confused about what is expected of them. As dogs become more desperate to understand how to live peacefully with you, their behaviors can make you crazy.
Many dog owners ask: How do I get my dog to stop chewing and destroying furniture or my favorite shoes, biting me, getting into the trash, urinating or leaving "deposits" in my home, digging up our yard, stealing food or clothing, jumping, humping, chasing, bolting out the door, whining or barking incessantly, and pulling on the leash. Without training, some dogs can become scared of everything, develop separation anxiety, or have difficulty getting along with other dogs or people, even displaying aggression.
Know that your dog is not trying to give you a hard time, but infact is just having a hard time and needs your help. Our training programs will help your dog learn to be a well-behaved member of your family.
