Paws Learn in Paradise exceeded my expectations by far! My Corso had many behavior issues and I received him back after the board and train very well behaved and mannered. I am able to take him in very high traffic areas now whereas before I couldn't even walk past a neighbor without him lunging and barking. I recommend Paws Learn in Paradise 100x!

I have a very high energy Australian Shepherd that I adopted from an Aussie rescue facility. I wasn’t aware of his severe issues prior to his adoption. He apparently had a history of aggressive behavior and biting and had been abandoned several times. I was at my wits end before someone recommended Lori at Paws…

Lori was so amazing for our fearful reactive dog, Bandit. He’s always had terrible leash manners and been hard to manage when people come over. We recently had a baby which has made it all the more difficult. We heard about Lori through a coworker and how she helped his dog. She was amazing with our boy! You can…

Trusting and working with Lori has truly been life-changing for our fearful dog (Diego had been beaten by his past owner, before we rescued him). He was fearful of most people, especially men. He was stubborn on leash, and was most often not responding to commands. Lori's effective approach, focused on trust,…

Lori and Paws Learn in Paradise has been life changing!! It's been a year since we fortunately found Lori and Paws Learn - we started off with training, and now we also leave our pup for boarding. Lori and her family are lifesavers and the training is truly transformative! For so long, we had been looking to find…

Working with Lori at Paws Learn In Paradise has been an exceptional experience for our family. We adopted our dog Maggie as a young rescue puppy, and like most puppies, she came with boundless energy and plenty to learn. With a neurodivergent child in our home, it was especially important to us that Maggie develop…
