At Learning Paws Dog Training, we believe every dog deserves the chance to live their best life. Our philosophy is simple: with the right guidance, every dog can become a well‑mannered, confident, and happy member of their family. We’re committed to helping pet owners achieve this—one dog at a time.
Nationally recognized for our dog training and pet care services, and recommended by veterinarians and local rescue organizations, we specialize in real‑life training, behavior modification, and long‑lasting results. We work alongside you and your dog, teaching YOU how to communicate effectively so your dog develops good manners both at home and out in the world. After all, who doesn’t love a dog that walks politely on leash, doesn’t lunge at other dogs or people, and can stay calmly when someone’s at the door?
Our team is deeply involved in the community. Learning Paws employees volunteer with local pet rescues and provide free or discounted rescue dog training and support.
In addition to training, we offer reliable, top‑quality pet sitting and dog walking services—because your pets deserve exceptional care in every part of their lives.
We use a variety of science‑backed training methods—including positive reinforcement, clicker training, and behavior modification—to help dogs learn new skills and develop healthy behaviors. Our trainers work closely with each dog to determine the most effective approach, taking into account their unique personality, temperament, and learning style.
Every dog is different, and so are their challenges. That’s why we tailor each training plan to the individual dog, considering factors such as their environment, genetics, past experiences, and current home and family dynamics. This thoughtful, customized approach ensures that training is not only effective but also supportive of your dog’s overall well‑being.
