Paws4ever

I found the Middle School Class taught at Paws4Ever by Susan Spinks to be excellent. The behaviors and skills you want to help create a really nice relationship with your dog are broken down into basic steps that are easy to learn and build on progressively. There's lots of positive feedback for both pets and owners during classes and plenty of individualized attention to help you work with your dog in a way that matches the dog's needs. And you get an email every week reminding you of how to work on each skill taught that week. My dog, who is afraid of many new things, loved being in this class. And, because he needs to continue to be challenged by having new experiences in a safe and positive environment, we're going to be taking this class for a second time!

I have taken 3 training classes with Paws4Ever with my dog starting when he was 9 weeks old and cannot say enough great things!

The class sizes are small so you have plenty of opportunity to receive individual instruction/corrections from the trainers and assistants. You can really tell that they care about training being a positive experience for you and your dog.

You receive emails after each class recapping what was taught with resources to learn more or refresh your memory. That is so helpful as a lot is going on and it’s easy to forget some details!

The classes I’ve taken have been with Susan Spinks and she has been wonderful! She truly cares about you and your dog’s success during class and outside in the real world. She has been available for questions when I have had concerns about my dog’s behavior and great tips on how to correct and help him.

I would recommend Paws4Ever with no hesitation and would definitely check them out for training! They have made a big difference in my and my dogs life!

This shelter may be small, but it's mighty! The staff do a good job with coordinating pet visits and walking you through the process for adoption. The process itself is easy-- you find out if you and your potential pet are a good match via visiting them, and once the pet is ready to go and you're ready to take them, you just fill out the paperwork and pay the fee and you're good to go! I'd say my only issue was that my cat had an ear infection when I got her, but that's more of the vet's fault than theirs. The staff check in with you to see how everything is going and to offer possible solutions to any issues. Overall, this place was worth the hour drive, because now I have a new addition to the family!

Working with Paws4ever is a pleasure! Took our rescue to the Adult Manners Class Training class. It was great!!! The instructors Susan and Jenn were great! They helped smooth out the rough edges and we had so much fun! Well worth the time!

We have found our new dog(s)?? Staff was very friendly and facility is clean.
