They sent us pics and our pup was having a blast!The service here appears to be high quality and thorough. Obviously, it's not possible to know what they do behind the scenes with 100% certainty, but they seem like they truly care about our animals. I recommend this place if you need to keep your dog busy while you go away!

Paw Paradise did such a great job with my 2 year old high energy, very reactive pointer boxer mix. She not only worked on commands like sit and "place" but now my dog actually listens when I say come and she helped give my dog Willow so much more confidence. My dog was snippy at little kids and tried to bite my nephew. After training with Lori she learned she didnt have to bite she could just run away from the toddler which is exactly what she did the next time she saw him. Lori provided so much love and care for my dog as if she was one of her own. Willow ended up needing to stay a few extra weeks, as she didnt feel like Willow was quite ready to come home, at no extra charge! She wanted to make sure Willow was set up for success before leaving. She truly is the dog whisperer. Now we have the best place to board Willow when we need and know she will be safe and well cared for.

A friend of mine recommended Paw Paradise to me and here I am recommending it for you! Paw Paradise did such a great job with my 2 year old high energy, very reactive pointer boxer mix. She not only worked on commands like sit and "place" but now my dog actually listens when I say come (She just stared at me like I was crazy before) and she helped give my dog Willow so much more confidence. My dog was snippy at little kids and tried to bite my 2 year old nephew. After training with Lori she learned she didn't have to bite and she could just run away from the toddler which is exactly what she did the next time she saw him! She also worked very hard on her resource guarding and leash reactivty. It is still a work in progress as is any behavioral issue but she has shown so much improvement! She provided us with the training tools we need to work with Willow on our own. Lori provided so much love and care for my dog as if she was one of her own. Willow ended up needing to stay a few extra weeks, as she didnt feel like Willow was quite ready to come home due to a few behavior issues, at no extra charge! She wanted to make sure Willow was set up for success before leaving which was so appreciated. She truly is the dog whisperer. Now we have the best place to board Willow when we need and know she will be safe and well cared for.

Exceptional Dog Training Experience with Lori! I stumbled upon Lori's dog training services after contacting several businesses in the area. From the moment Lori got back to me, I knew I had found someone special. Not only did she guide me through the decision to adopt our dog, but her knowledge and expertise made me feel incredibly comfortable with our choice. We enrolled our dog in a four-week training course, and the results have been nothing short of amazing. Lori's training methods are top-notch, and our k9 Ayce, is doing exceptionally well thanks to her guidance. What sets Lori apart is her genuine care and dedication. Even after completing the initial training, she stays connected and regularly checks in on our dog's progress. Her ongoing support reassures us that she truly cares about the well-being and development of our pet. I highly recommend Lori to anyone seeking a dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring dog trainer. She's made a significant difference in our dog's behavior, and her passion for what she does shines through in every interaction. Thank you, Lori, for your exceptional service and genuine care!

Lori did a great job with my rodejian ridgeback puppy. She was a stubborn terror that jumped from standing position to our counters. Lori had her job cut out for her. She is so kind, caring and dedicated. We received pictures a few times a week. Lori asked questions during the weeks so she could tailor trying as needed. Due to the stubbornness of my pup she had to stay beyond the 2 weeks. As a result we are very pleased with the changes. This girl used to purposely sit down and stare at me when I called her. The difference is well worth the investment and time. We are very happy with our improved girl. Thank you Paw Paradise!

Paw Paradise, recommended to me for training my energetic and stubborn 1-year-old dog, delivered on its promises. Under Lori's guidance for 3 weeks, my dog learned commands like heel, come, and sit, and I was taught to use an e-collar as a harmless reminder tool. The dog isn't afraid of the e-collar, and it doesn't hurt him. Despite some ongoing issues, the training, including a prong collar for better heeling, has been effective. While not inexpensive, I believe the investment in Paw Paradise's training was worthwhile.

My friend recommended this place. After 4 weeks training, my dog is amazing on recall, place and no jumping at all. He used to run away, jump at us when get excited and won't listen to our command at dog park. Now I can take him to the beach, unleash him without worry him run away. Even in the dog park, when he plays crazy with other dogs, if we call him, he will come to us and sit next to us to calm down. Also my dog becomes more confident, he was a very fearful dog, he will run away or step back when something drop or make big noise or stranger gets close to him. Now he is clam and gets curious about things around. Lori is very responsible and honest, she suggested me to extend one more week based on the progress which benefits my dog. She also extended a few days for free to make up the days they were out of sick. I'm very happy and appreciate the result. People at dog park are surprised at how well behaved my dog is. And I'm glad that my dog earn the freedom and enjoy his life more! Highly recommend here.

Lori at paw paradise is the truth! After taking my pup Rocko to three different trainers, she's the only one he actually listens to and learned from. From once, being very aggressive and not listening to anybody to now being the most obedient boy I knew he could be! I now feel more confident in having more people over and taking him with me to more places I normally had to seriously consider, like crowded areas, beaches, etc. Thank you Lori for your help, patience, expertise and this new quality of life!! I will continue to and have referred Paw Paradise to all of my doggo friends and family!!! Keep up the great work!

i sent my dog Jada to Paw Paradise because she was having trouble containing herself at daycare with all her energy! i was anxious about sending her away to a board and training but after unsuccessful personal training and group training, i had to find another place that could help me. Jada came back so well behaved and so much more in control of herself!! highly recommend.

Just recently took our dog Argos here. He had some serious anxiety issues and was starting to get more and more reactive on leash on walks around our apartment complex and was starting to become worrisome. We ended up taking him here and Lori was a godsend! He has made drastic improvements from when we dropped him off. His separation anxiety and reactiveness has decreased greatly! Overall much more well behaved and listens better! And she took the time after his training to breakdown his personality traits and why he reacts so that we understood and she gave us the tools to further his training at home. Really can't recommend this place enough!

It's been two months since we've had our dog back from training with Lori and it has been life-changing! Lori took our high energy, impulsive, two year old English Springer Spaniel "Gracie" for boarding and training. The before: Gracie was like a loving supernova, she had two speeds, 130mph or asleep. Walking her on a leash was done at your own risk of injury. Gracie would chase butterflies, birds, leafs, shadows, anything that moves! Her attention was easily taken away. The after: 3 1/2 weeks later, I honestly couldn't believe the change, the redirection of focus to commands. Just blown away! What Lori and her team were able to do working with Gracie over this time was nothing short of a small miracle. Now, she's the same loving supernova but she has multiple gears to shift into, she listens and responds instantly to her name and is a joy to walk on the leash. Gracie fits so perfectly into our family. I hope that by reading this review you are inspired to give Lori and your pooch a chance, getting the same wonderful results and great experience we did. I wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend Lori and her training services. Our greatest thanks to you Lori, simply the best.

Amazing place to take your pet. They, unlike other boarding places, don't require a visit to make sure the dog is a fit. They take all dogs because they understand them and know how to work with them.

In January, we left our mini goldendoodle Hayden with Paw Paradise for a 4 week training program. We've had Hayden since he was a puppy and he's always had some aggression issues: resource guarding, general stubbornness, impatience with the vet or groomer (or us), and severe separation anxiety. The list we left with Lori of things to work on was long and it felt unattainable to me and my husband. At pickup, Lori gave us her undivided attention for 2+ hours and walked us through all the things she worked on and discovered, then spent time answering all our questions and practicing with us until we were comfortable to continue the training at home. Since bringing him home, it is like we've finally moved on from his toddler phase and have a dog we don't constantly have to keep an eye on. Lori had the patience and persistence to work through Hayden's anxiety and to teach him that he doesn't rule the world. His leash manners are now incredible, he stays off the couch, he doesn't beg at the dinner table, we can leave toilet paper on the roll, we can drop something on the floor without fear he'll run and take it, he doesn't eat mulch pieces outside(!), the list goes on and on. These are all things we never could've imagined (and had tried for YEARS to train/correct). He's still Hayden; he still likes to investigate, he still tests us but there is a different baseline now. Hayden is thriving within his new routines. It's truly a whole new world for the three of us. Thank you, Lori (and your team, and your family.) I think getting Hayden to this point was an all-hands-on-deck situation and we couldn't be more grateful. This training was an investment but we couldn't be happier with the result.

Lori was amazing with our dog Mocha- she really loves dogs and is a great trainer. We boarded Mocha for 4 weeks for her fear aggression behavior and she came home a much more confident dog!

I cannot speak enough praise for the way that Lori turned my crazy GSP's behavior around. I was SERIOUSLY at wit's end from his out-of-control behavior and my countless hours attempting to train him with little to no results. I tried group lessons, private lessons, and online training, and absolutely nothing worked. Finally, I found Lori and we signed him up as soon as we could. To be honest, the 2 weeks away was, sadly, a much-needed break- It was hard, I missed him but was happy not to be going crazy anymore haha. Realistically, though, it gave him and me both the reset that we needed. So then, by the time we got him back, his behavior made a complete 180. For instance, when we came to pick him up he was in a "bed" command and a cat walked right in front of him and he stayed in the bed! That would NEVER have happened before! Yes, he is still my little wild, high-energy boy BUT a controlled one. One who I can finally take on walks without getting pulled around, one who I can let off-leash on hikes, and one who isn't chewing up my house anymore. My sanity and relationship with Gunnar have been saved, and all thanks to Lori's work. Thank you, Lori!
