Testimonials
“We are so pleased with the outcome of our time with Christina, Tim, and Paws in Motion! After only being back from training a short time, we are seeing a more relaxed and confident dog. We can sleep through the night without getting pushed out of bed now because our dog sleeps and stays in her crate at night.
This experience has been life changing for all of us. We can’t say thank you enough for all the support and kindness!”
– Client
“Could not suggest a better place to train your dog! We are so ecstatic with the results! At just 10 months old our little lab has more freedom thanks to Christina! River Lee enjoyed everyday here she almost didn’t want to return home!”
– Client
“I sent my River girl for the 2 week board and train. River is a good girl but has some puppy traits (jumping) and was hard to walk on leash… I can’t speak highly enough about everything River learned and her amazing behavior now. I cannot recommend Paws in Motion enough.”
