Paws N’ Reflect, LLC is a dog agility training business founded by a mother-daughter team with decades of experience in the sport, starting in the 1990s. They offer instructor-led group classes and private lessons in dog agility, tailored for dogs of all breeds and ages—from puppies over 12 weeks to advanced competitors. Their programs include Foundation Agility, Beginner I, Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Agility, as well as specialized Weaves Class and Beginner Rally Obedience. Training emphasizes positive reinforcement, safety, and building a strong handler-dog bond. Classes are held outdoors on well-maintained grass fields in The Acreage, Florida, with rescheduling for rain. They also offer dog boarding, overnight pet sitting, and dog walking services. Their instructors include Barbara Bounds, an AKC Agility Judge since 2010, and Krystle and Patty Armfield, who teach specific classes. The business prioritizes a fun, supportive environment and does not offer group classes for reactive dogs, instead recommending private sessions for such cases.

Barbara, the founder and lead instructor, has competed extensively and trained countless dogs and handlers, while her daughter began as a junior handler and transitioned into agility with her Border Collie. Their combined expertise ensures personalized, high-quality instruction. The facility features well-maintained agility equipment and a spacious, natural setting ideal for training.

They also provide advanced obedience training for Companion Dog (CD) title preparation and rally obedience for building teamwork and confidence. All training is conducted with positive methods, and meals are not fed before class to ensure high motivation during training.

Paws N’ Reflect is not a breeder, groomer, or pet store, but offers pet boarding and sitting as complementary services for dog owners.

The business is located in The Acreage, Florida, serving local residents in the surrounding area.

They do not currently offer video training, in-home training, or board-and-train programs.

The training blog is listed but has no published content as of now.
