Testimonials

I am so happy Google led me to All Paws Dog Training and Debbie. I’ve always had dogs but recently got a puppy for the first time as an adult. I wanted to make sure we started out right so we attended puppy class. We have done two additional classes (level 2 and 3) plus an in home session. Debbie tells you how it is. She wants pups to be happy. It is not always easy to hear the truth but it is about the pup not my pride. I have learned so much. Franklin is always super pumped to see her and to attend class. Debbie is super accessible and always willing to give recommendations from leashes to daycares. Franklin and I look forward to working with her again soon.

We chose All Paws randomly from a Google search and it was easily the best decision we’ve ever made as dog owners. Working with Debbie has completely changed our lives. Her deep understanding of dogs, paired with her honest no-nonsense approach was exactly what we needed to change how we connect with our rescue pup. What used to feel stressful and overwhelming has now become a relationship built on trust and confidence — for all of us.
Thanks to Debbie, our pup is now able to attend daycare, play with other dogs, enjoy social gatherings in the presence of other dogs and live a life we didn’t think would be possible but always wanted. We’re so grateful to have found her!

Debbie is incredible at what she does. We reached out because our 5 month puppy needed some basic commands and leash training. After two private family classes we had learned so much from Debbie, that when he started to get out of control at night, and we were at a loss what to do, we asked Debbie to come to our house for a behavior evaluation. She spent two and a half hours in our house when our puppy was the craziest. She gave us the skills to help with his behavior, tips on blocking off rooms, and even looked at our backyard and helped with fencing ideas. We are now going to a puppy basics class with Debbie with other dogs. She is truly the best and our puppy loves her!
