Testimonials

“I can’t say enough great things about humble paws. Manuel is a miracle worker! Both of our pups were wild and hard to control. Now, they are not even the same dogs! We are soooo happy! Not only does Manual do a great job with these pups but he is the most genuine down to earth man! His mission and the way he gives back is beautiful. I can’t say enough great things! If you are looking for a dog trainer there is simply no other choice! ”
– Candice Tyson

“This place is absolutely the best! It was a recommendation from my sister who had her dog trained here and I am so happy we took it into consideration. I spent 5 or 6 weeks training my dog here and throughout those weeks, there has been huge improvements I’ve seen from my dog. They are caring and take their time to get how you would like your dog to be trained. 10/10 I really recommend Humble Paws!”
– Areli G

“I had a great experience boarding our fur baby. The communication was great and I received updates. It was very challenging finding a boarding place last minute that would take Bonnie in since she is aggressive. That was communicated to Manuel, the owner and he made me feel at ease and did not discriminate Bonnie based on her past. She really seemed to enjoy her stay. We are looking forward to training.”
