Our Training Services

At Pacific Paws, I believe that training should be fun and rewarding for both you and your dog. My goal is to help you gain the confidence and skills you need to enjoy a calm, well-behaved companion by your side, whether you’re relaxing at home or out exploring together.

I currently offer:

  • Puppy Training: Socialization, house training, and foundation skills to start your puppy off right.

  • Basic Obedience: Sit, stay, come, leash walking, and building reliable behaviors at home and in public.

  • Behavior Modification: Helping with issues like leash reactivity, barking, fear, and more.

  • Private Lessons: One-on-one coaching tailored to your dog’s needs, in your home or a local park.

  • Day Training: I train your dog while you’re busy, then teach you how to maintain progress.

Not sure where to start? Send a message for a free consultation training session to discuss your goals and your dog’s needs, and to see how I can help.

Private Lessons

Schedule a complimentary consultation

Your free consultation isn’t just a quick phone call—it’s a relaxed, hands-on training session where I get to know you and your dog, and you get to see how I work. During this session, I’ll assess your dog’s behavior, temperament, and learning style, and we’ll discuss your goals and any challenges you’re experiencing. We’ll also jump into some simple training exercises so you can see how your dog responds to the methods I use before deciding on a training plan. My goal is for you to feel confident and informed about how we can help your dog thrive, with no pressure and no commitment.
