Pups Path Pet Training
We believe in a positive approach to dog training. Our clients will experience training for themselves and anyone in the household along with the training for the dog. A dog owner needs to understand the dog and the dog understand the human for a successful relationship so we assist both you and your pet!
Pups Path Pet Training was implemented to bring a new approach to training your pet! Using only positive approach, we will help you to create a wonderful relationship with your pet that will help pave the way for pawsome experiences throughout you and your pet’s path of life.
No two humans nor two pets are identical and may need different approaches! At Pups Path Pet Training, we continually adjust training tactics according to what works best for you and your pet!
Training is always kept in groups no larger than 4-5 dogs or one-on-one so that we can focus on not just helping the dog, but helping the handler. We adjust even our class setting to each person’s special needs at home & in their daily life with their pet-we don’t do “one size fits all” training
