  • What kind of trainings do you offer?

    At PawSessions, we provide a range of training options including group and private lessons. We understand that each dog is unique, as are their owners' needs. Our passion for dogs drives our business, and we're equipped to handle dogs of all ages and temperaments. We work with mild to severe aggression cases, leash reactivity, timid or shy dogs, and focus on building confidence and independence, which is crucial for both dogs and their owners.
  • Can i drop off and leave my dog for training?

    Yes, we offer drop-off training services. If you're short on time or energy, you can leave your dog with us for professional training. At the end of the training sequence, we'll provide a comprehensive overview of what we've taught your dog. This allows you to continue practicing and implementing these new skills at home and in real-world situations.
  • What are play sessions?

    Our play sessions are designed as socialization opportunities rather than typical doggie daycare. We recognize that dogs, like humans, can become overtired and overstimulated. Our sessions last 3 hours, which we believe is sufficient for proper socialization when done regularly. We limit each session to 12 dogs and ensure all participants get along well. We value building close relationships with both our canine and human clients.
  • How do i know if my dog is reactive or aggressive?

    Most dog reactivity or aggression stems from fear. It's crucial to identify signs early so you can build your dog's confidence while also setting clear boundaries. As responsible pet owners, it's our duty to lead our dogs effectively, ensuring their safety and the safety of other pets and people around them.
  • What training methods do you use?

    Our training approach is centered on positive reinforcement. We believe in encouraging good behavior through rewards, which helps build trust and strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
  • What types of dogs do you train?

    We work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. This includes puppies, adult dogs, and those experiencing behavioral challenges.
  • Is my dog too old to start training?

    Training can be beneficial at any age. Dogs of all ages can improve their behavior and strengthen their bond with their owners through professional guidance.
  • How many sessions will my dog need?

    The number of sessions required varies based on your dog's specific needs and goals. After conducting an initial assessment, we will provide a customized plan outlining the expected duration and frequency of training sessions.
  • Where do training sessions take place?

    Training sessions can be conducted at your home, in public spaces, or at our facility. The location depends on the specific program and your dog's individual needs.

    Yes, we offer specialized training for various behavioral issues. This includes addressing problems such as aggression, separation anxiety, excessive barking, and leash pulling. We develop customized training plans to tackle these specific challenges.
