Blissful Pawz Dog Training assists dog owners with their pets, offering solutions for frustrating behaviors and ensuring puppies grow to be well-mannered. Their qualified and experienced trainers use leading techniques to help dogs understand expected behaviors.

They are knowledgeable and experienced in owner-training for therapy and service dogs in-training. This includes helping pick out potential service dog puppies, assisting with basics like obedience, housebreaking, good house manners, and beginning task training. They also offer advice and support for public access training when the dog reaches the appropriate age and training level.

Blissful Pawz Dog Training employs positive reinforcement and gentle encouragement to develop good behavior, aiming to improve the owner-dog relationship. They can help address non-aggressive behavior and communication issues such as unruly behavior, lack of basic commands, not listening, barking, jumping up on people, scratching, and leash lunging.

It is important to note that Blissful Pawz Dog Training does not “certify” or “register” therapy or Service Dogs, as there is no national registration or certification for Service Dogs. They also do not handle dog clients with aggression toward humans or other animals (either known bites or attempted bites), advising owners to seek help from a veterinarian or a behavioral specialist for such cases.
