Testimonials
“When my 6-month-old Bully/Pitt mix, Abby, started showing signs of being a little too energetic and stubborn, I knew I needed some help. That’s when I found Paws for Christ K-9 Training, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for both Abby and my family. We enrolled Abby in their 2-week board and train program, and the results were nothing short of incredible. From the moment I picked her up, I could tell something had shifted. She was calmer, more focused, and clearly understood basic commands like sit, down, stay, heel, and leash walking. The transformation wasn’t just impressive–it was consistent. Days later, Abby is still responding to everything she learned, and it’s made our life together so much more enjoyable. What truly made the experience special, though, was the team behind the training. JDon and everyone at Paws for Christ not only know what they’re doing, but they also care deeply about the dogs they work with. Knowing Abby was treated with love, respect, and patience gave me so much peace of mind throughout the process. If you’re a dog owner looking for a trustworthy, effective, and compassionate training program, I can’t recommend Paws for Christ K-9 Training enough. Abby’s progress is a testament to their methods, and I’m beyond grateful for the positive change they’ve brought into our lives.”

“My husband and I are the proud owners of the most stubborn, yet cute ‘puppy’ that weighs almost 100 lbs. We both work so we were limited on time to be able to train Buford ourselves. I asked for recommendations on the book of faces like 95% of people do nowadays. Paws for Christ came highly recommended and I tell you they did not disappoint. We decided on a 5 week board and train. The difference between then and now is remarkable! I can walk Buford on a leash without him dragging me, and he does really good in public. I have been working with him after work each day and he does all of his commands instantly. I highly recommend JDon and Paws for Christ to everyone. If he can train our Buford, whew, he can train any dog. Thanks so much!”

“Lifesaver!!!! Omg!!!! We adopted a sweet girl that had lived her entire life at a shelter, a few weeks before she had her first birthday! She was super sweet- super smart- but had absolutely NO MANNERS, which was to be expected, but still significantly worse than we had planned on. JDon is a miracle worker!! We took him a sweet girl that was a WILD CHILD- and yesterday we picked up a sweet- well behaved girl that had literally been transformed. She can sit- lay down- shake- stay- place- and heel. And she doesn’t jump at all anymore. A few times last night she ALMOST did- but I could literally see her ‘check herself’ and instead of jumping on me/ she would sit! Couldn’t recommend any higher/ 10 stars out of five!! We are SO grateful to JDon and Kristi for helping us save this sweet girl!!”
