Michael:
I just wanted to take a minute to say THANK YOU very much for all your
help with Gracee. When we adopted Gracee a few months ago, we knew she
was the perfect fit for our family and we had HIGH hopes for her. We looked
forward to all the fun we would have with her and we looked forward to
bringing her almost everywhere with us. UNTIL...we realized that she had "issues" with
other dogs. These issues seemed extreme to us at the time and we were disappointed
to think that we were never going to be able to take her anywhere with
us again. We had already fallen in love with her so giving her back or
getting rid of her was not an option.
I contacted a few places about training and signed up for, paid for and attended
another training facility. However, it took one lesson for me to realize that
was not what she needed. Then I called All Four Paws. The first person I spoke
with was Kimberley and I immediately knew I was going to have a positive experience.
Then I met with you. Our first consultation, Kimberley brought a dog into the
room and Gracee behaved "badly" as usual. As soon as Kimberley left the room
with the dog, you looked at me and said, "she wants to play." I, of course, argued
with you and insisted you were wrong...it seemed to me that she wanted to hurt
that dog. To make a long story short...you were right. You had no problem calling
me to the mat on a few things I thought I was right about. I respect that. It
was that attitude and experience that got me where I am today with Gracee. You
taught me and my family how to teach Gracee. We started from the ground up...with
the basics. You gave me the tools I needed to teach my dog better behavior. Even
though our classes have ended, I am much better equipped to continue training
Gracee and I am confident that she will overcome her fears that I can only suspect
came from her former upbringing before we adopted her. Thanks to you and your
training, I now have the confidence that we WILL have all the fun and enjoyment
we thought we would have with Gracee. In retrospect, I am glad I chose to bring
her to a person who was going to train us in IMPROVING our dog's behavior and
not to someone who was going to teach us how to just deal with an "unruly" dog.
THANK YOU!!

Canine
Training Center,
the best place to learn
proper doggie etiquette.
A well-trained dog is a pleasure
to own. Walks are mutually enjoyed adventures, not tug o' wars. Guests are
politely greeted rather than jumped on. Barking is performed on command,
not spontaneously. Time spent together is a pleasure, not a chore.
At All Four Paws Canine Training
Center, we’ll help you develop a stronger relationship and bond with
your dog. You’ll learn how to motivate and praise him or her while
earning the respect you must have in order for training to succeed.
We currently offer classes
in
- Puppy Pre-School
- Basic Obedience
- Advanced Obedience
- Personal Protection
- Agility
We also address specific behavioral
problems including house training, jumping, barking, chewing, separation
anxiety, socializing with people and other dogs, food and toy possessiveness,
inappropriate bathroom habits, crate training and more.

longer. Discover just how satisfy- ing and rewarding proper training can
