All Paws Dog Training

Programs include group classes for puppies and adult dogs covering basic obedience, leash manners, and CGC/Star Puppy prep, as well as private in-home sessions for behavior modification. Training is structured in progressive levels (Puppy 101, Level 2, Level 3) with ongoing weekly sessions. Custom intensive programs are available for complex behavioral issues. Owners are actively trained alongside their dogs to reinforce skills at home using nonverbal cues and positive reinforcement.

All Paws Dog Training is run by Debbie Freedman, a dog trainer and behaviorist with over 33 years of experience working with all breeds and levels of dogs. She offers both group and private training sessions at her facility and in-home visits across Massachusetts and parts of neighboring states. Services include basic obedience, leash manners, leadership training, obstacle courses, CGC and Star Puppy certification, treadmill training, and specialized behavior modification for issues like aggression, fear, resource guarding, PTSD, and OCD. Debbie uses a balanced, relationship-based approach that emphasizes nonverbal communication, natural dog instincts, and positive reinforcement with treats and praise. She also educates owners on how to establish confident, respectful roles within the household to create lasting behavioral change.

Her programs are designed for dogs of all ages—from puppies as young as 8 weeks to senior dogs—and she tailors custom training plans to meet individual needs. Debbie is an AKC Evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen test and is committed to helping families build strong, happy bonds with their dogs through consistent, compassionate training.

In-home behavior evaluations and custom programs are available, and she provides ongoing support beyond classes, including recommendations on equipment, daycares, and home modifications.
