Testimonials
Paula was great with our puppy! She worked with us on leash training and pulling and our pup caught on quickly. Paula even helped us when we moved and offered options that helped our pup with his anxiety. I would highly recommend working with Paula and The Puppy Coach!
-Khlarisse Marinez
We got our first dog and had no idea where to start with training. We reached out to Paula for help and she made things so easy for us! She is so knowledgeable and really focuses on giving dog parents the skills they need to raise a puppy. Since working with Paula, our sweet 6 month old golden has learned so many tricks, is great on a leash, sleeps through the night, and is 100% potty trained!! We are forever grateful for The Puppy Coach and we will definitely use Paula in the future when we get Boone a sibling!
-Anonymous
Working with Paula to train our two pups was an incredible experience! Aside from the fact that Paula is extremely personable and kind, she’s also very professional and knowledgeable! When Paula first started helping us, we were dealing with one of our dogs acting aggressive towards our other dog. We had also just had a baby and our lives were chaotic. Paula came into our home and helped us identify the issues and simultaneously apply training to both dogs to bring peace in our home. Now we have all of the tools to continue training and prevent future incidents going forward. I would highly recommend Paula to anyone who needs help, whether it’s straight forward or a more complex issue!
