Coaching for Paws is amazing!!! I put my reactive Staffy through the 4 week boot camp with Caroline and have nothing but great things to say about this facility and all of their trainers.Caroline gave me daily updates, photos, videos, and was available to answer any questions I had at any time of day. She took the best care of my dog and not only trained him beyond what I could have expected, but trained me as well!Sending Brutus to Coaching for Paws was the best decision I could have made, especially sending him with Caroline. Thank you C4P!!

Coach Carlos is fantastic! He helped me to properly train my small dog Faith and it has been life changing! Coach Carlos is knowledgeable and communicative with me and always helps me when I have a question! He is kind and understands how to speak to the dogs and teach them in a way that makes sense. He was positive and happy to help us learn! I appreciate his work knowledge about dogs thinking and genetics and he was always very nice and polite to me. 10/10 would recommend for any training needs!

We brought our 6 month old German Shepard puppy to coaching for paws the end of March. Everyone kept telling me how good of a dog we had but I was extremely stressed with the mouthing and nipping with the kiddos it was getting hard to deal with. Obedience training was becoming a struggle. From the moment I contacted coaching 4 paws they were so quick to respond and so kind in answering ALL the questions I had. I went for a free training session prior to the boot camp Maverick was signed up for which was wonderful. Brooke was so caring and knowledgeable it really was impressive. Maverick stayed for 3 weeks and came home a completely different dog. He is more obedient, less mouthy, and just overall a more calm and happy dog. It truly was a transformation and I honestly can't thank or recommend them enough. Zach was in constant contact every day Maverick was training at their facility and has even checked up on us since Maverick has been back home. Not to mention the one master class we have attended so far has been so wonderful. Just to be able to work with the trainers and fine tune things with Maverick has made even more of a difference. This place is truly something special and I would recommend ANYONE to give them your pup/dog to transform. What they achieved with Maverick is truly priceless and we will have a dog that our family can truly enjoy thanks to these amazing trainers. The money was well spent! And I don't regret a single cent of it! Thank you so much to Carlos and his whole team!!!Kim Moreno

Carlos and his staff (especially Lauren) are absolutely wonderful people and excellent at their craft. My wife and I are thrilled with the results of the 3 week boot camp. Our dog Harper is so obedient and a pleasure to be around. Without question it was money well spent!

Carlos and his team are wonderful, we brought our German Shepard for 10 days while were gone for daycare and training we came back and noticed the craziest improvements instantly, our dog was obedient, learned new skills and overall they helped us with every single issue we were having with our pup. At the end of the trip Carlos personally took time out of his day to teach us a few tricks and tips to improve and maintain the skills he had taught our pup.I’ll be coming back for more training as soon as I can to continue to improve my dogs obedience. Overall, please if you need any training or help I’d recommend Carlos 1000 percent every time.

I would give Coaching for Paws a five star. I am grateful that we cross paths with such awesome trainers. At Coaching for Paws they were able to help change our dogs behavioral issues immensely in such a short time. We are so happy that we chose such caring people to help us on this journey to a better life with our dog. Also, grateful they have lifetime coaching available to help maintain all the good coping habits learned and continue to coach our dog along the way.We are so grateful and would highly recommend them. Thank you Carlos and the entire team at Coaching for Paws. If it wasn't for the help nitro would've been put down. Again thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Hi, My name is Carol and I was at my wits end with my extremely hyperactive 8 month old golden retriever. I had taken her to puppy classes, hired a dog trainer but nothing would work. She would jump up and bite at my shirt, bite my hands, bite the leash so I couldn’t walk her, and etc. I was actually looking for someone to take her off my hands. I really thought something was wrong with her. As the last resort I sent her to “Coaching 4 for Paws” bootcamp for 3 weeks not expecting much of a change. Well was I surprised by the change in behavior of my dog. She is still very active but she now listens to all commands. She is no longer biting and we can now play together happily. I was so amazed by the phenomenal job “Coaching 4 Paws” had done I had to pinch myself. My relationship with my dog has improved immensely and I have the dog of my dreams. I can’t thank “Coaching 4 Paws” enough for the amazing job they did. It was worth every penny!Sincerely,Carol OBrien

Our 9 month old puppy just returned from Coaching 4 Paws boot camp and her transformation was nothing short of remarkable. She is much better behaved now. We were able to view her progress with frequent videos on Instagram during her training.The training facility and kennels in Bethany are neat, clean, and well maintained. The trainers and other staff were friendly, courteous and very professional.We couldn’t be happier with the results of Flo’s training.

Our 1 year old Boxer-German Shepard, Willow, completed a 2 week board and train with Carlos & Brooke and we cannot thank them enough. I still can’t believe how much of an improvement there has been in just 2 weeks. Willow is much more calm and relaxed. They are incredible at what they do and they make sure to check in even after your pup completes training. It was hands down the best thing we could have done for us and for our dog. Completely worth it! We look forward to attending more classes with Coaching4Paws in the future!

She is 10 months old and out of hand to say the least.Since training at Coaching 4 paws she now listens to my commands, walks on and off leash and her aggression is gone.If you are looking to bring your dog to obedience training callCarlos at Coaching 4 paws!! Thank you Brooke!

starting off with phenomenal trainers. would recommend 100 times out of 100. very responsive with questions ive had and any concerns i had they replied within a matter of minutes. so 5 stars for that alone especially when you leave your baby to people youve never met but have to trust.secondly, my beautiful german shepherd is was a nightmare to bring outside, we couldnt walk her, we couldnt take her to petco without her barking and lunging at everyone. she isnt aggressive just wants to say hello to everyone. walking her was a nightmare with the pulling, barking, running after falling leaves etc. i just picked her up and its already a night and day difference, she walks right at my heels even with distractions which i never thought would be possible. her commands she was taught she listens even when shes excited. its just phenomenal.as a proud owner of a german shepherd who has gone through the training with coach 4 paws i cannot recommend this place enough. 10/10 for response times, care for my baby, everything. 100% will recommend over and over again.

We had signed up for the board and train a 3 week program. After 2 weeks our dog needed to go to the vet due to severe injuries on his paws and the vet found multiple issues including the dog being neglected and losing a significant amount of weight while in their care. They were very hard to communicate with and couldn’t provide detail updates and were evading our questions. Not happy at all with how they treated our dog or how they communicate with us. Stay away from these people very unprofessional

To Carlos , Brooke and especially COACH BREE.APOLLO just completed his bootcamp (3 weeks) I knew he needed a bootcamp to help with his anxiety with windshield wipers/ nail trimming and just being home alone without attention. Apollo pulled on every walk would never come on command and it just came down to me having barely any control on him when with him in public.I requested a bootcamp for him and at first I was worried seeing Carlos had Family matters going on and one of his team members were going to do the training instead of Carlos. I felt I was asking for a lot with Apollo being so reactive to everything and it was Impossible, especially without Carlos taking charge.HOWEVER, Coach Brooke and especially COACH BREE from C4P have been absolutely amazing, my dog knows all basic commands/heal/emergency Down/place and is a changed dog and he’s under 1. Don’t be fooled CARLOS and his team are pros and know what they are doing.Never have I put my dog into training classes mainly for the price but overall this was the best decision for my dog and I can’t be prouder. The result is worth every dollar and the free follow up group classes that after bootcamp help my dog drastically. Highly recommend this team.I CANNOT SAY THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!

Coaching 4 Paws is AMAZING!! They had Myles for the 3 week program and he’s WAS, a stubborn, belligerent St. Bernard. It was his way or the highway and he’s learned to listen and obey simple commands. What a huge difference it’s made in all of our lives, for the better. The staff is amazing. They answered all of my questions, any time I text, I always received a prompt response and they treated my baby as if he were their own. I would HIGHLY recommend Coaching 4 Paws to any and all that need help!! They’re also there for any needs that come up after the program which is huge ! 5+++++ stars!!!!

Carlos and Brooke were fantastic with my Shepard. He is completely different dog. He was with them for 2 weeks only and it was incredibly worth it. Jaeger is so much calmer and less anxious. I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and devotion.

We are so thrilled with the training that our 8 month old German Shepherd, Caddy received! He completed the 3 week obedience board and train program and we couldn’t be happier! Caddy was already a great dog, but this training made him an amazing, obedient member of our family! Lauren and Carlos were so awesome about communicating, giving updates and even sharing videos of his progress. It’s so impressive what a dog can learn in 3 weeks! Lauren was so awesome showing my daughter and I all the commands and working with us when we picked him up. We are looking forward to attending Master Classes soon! We highly recommend Coaching 4 Paws!

Carlos and his team have been AMAZING! I have a Malinois X that I brought into Carlos at about 5 months old. Since then I’ve learned sooo much. He’s taught me how to have control over my pup with confidence, how to feel comfortable having her around other dogs, people, to not have her pull on the leash, to learn how to stay in her place and relax and so much more in such a short period of time. I’ve gone to other trainers and they’ve always treated me as if I should already know what I’m doing. Carlos never made me feel stupid for not knowing something, his teaching methods are awesome and so easy to follow. He lets me do the training instead of me watching him the whole time. I actually get to train her with his guidance, which I love. His team is always friendly and willing to help out with anything. They are truly incredible at what they do they have so much knowledge. I recommend Coaching 4 Paws 100% because of them my pup and I have a better connection and she is on a path to learning even more!! Can’t wait for future sessions! Thank you Coaching 4 Paws!!!

Coach Bree and Coach Brooke have been so instrumental in helping us to have the happiest, well trained dog. We started private classes when our puppy (Guin) was 4 months old and she learned so much in those 6 weeks. Brooke and Bree made the instruction easy to follow and gave us great next steps to follow at home. We continued with Puppy Boot Camp and Bree sent us videos and pictures throughout to share Guin’s progress. The last day of Boot Camp, we got our human instructions to ensure that we knew and could use Guin’s new commands. Guin now knows her 8 commands and we continue practicing daily. She is such a happy and well trained dog which is exactly what we needed. 100% worth the effort and cost. Thank you for helping us to have the pet family member we’ve always wanted!

Coaching 4 Paws worked magic with our opportunistic 8 month old puppy! The three week boot camp was well worth the investment in our family. Walks and dinnertime in our busy home are actually enjoyable now. Our puppy can now walk politely on leash, and the place command has been a life changer around the kids, especially surrounding food. Nothing but positive things to say about Coaching 4 Paws. Thanks again Carlos and Lauren!!

We sent our 10 month old black lab puppy, Stella, to the 2 week boot camp with Coaching 4 Paws and we cannot say enough great things about this experience! Our pup was treated with the highest level of kindness and love and it was clear at pick-up that she adored her trainers. The entire staff provided great communication before, during and after! We were sent videos and text updates throughout the 2 weeks which we loved. We are beyond pleased with everything she accomplished, all of her hard work, the hard work that everyone put into her training, as well as the care that she was given! At pick-up we were given a training session to learn her new commands and to really understand everything that she had been doing so that we can continue her progress at home. They train without changing the dog's personality which was extremely important to us, the difference between our Stella before and our Stella now is amazing, she's still our playful happy puppy, but she's also more focused, calmer and less anxious. We highly recommend Coaching 4 Paws and we look forward to attending more classes with them to continue our dog's progress.

Coach Carlos is the BEST! He trained my daughters dog and I can’t believe how well he had her trained in just 3 weeks! At first, I was a little hesitant to spend the money but you get alot of value out of your buck

To sum it up in one word , professional. The staff know exactly what they’re doing no matter the situation. It is also a HUGE plus to be able to see updates on your furry friend and they keep up on that via Instagram. Will recommend to anyone looking for a dog training facility.

Coaching 4 paws is an amazing organization. I sent my 1 year old pup Casper to their boot camp program and the results were insanely noticeable with in moments of seeing him. Casper was much more relax and incredible more obedient. The most important thing, casper looks like he enjoys training and working with me at an entirely hire level. Carlos and his team are amazing at what they do and I’m stoked to continue working with them, and getting tips from them throughout my boys training. Thank you guys!

I can't begin to describe the patience and vast knowledge the owner (Carlos) has. We finally got our first puppy that at the time was 9 weeks. He took the time to help us set up a schedule for our puppy that included detailed guidelines. The attentiveness he gave demonstrated his passion for what he was doing, which made for a better experience. Happy to say now our puppy is doing such a better job with potty training. Strongly recommend his services.
