You have just taken the first step towards becoming the happiest dog owner you can be by visiting Paws at Play Training.  

Are you a proud pet parent of a new puppy and want ongoing support to ensure your puppy grows into a happy, well behaved adult dog?  Or do you have an older dog that has behavioral problems that leave you frustrated, annoyed, and maybe even desperate to find a solution?  

Paws at Play Training provided personalized in-home training & dog walking in the Chicagoland's West Suburbs.  

One of the major benefits of Paws at Play Training in-home training is that I customize my methods to suit your dog's personality, your family's lifestyle and your "house rules".   You may have multiple dogs that each need individual training for their personality and history.

Paws at Play Training focuses on POSITIVE dog training.  Our methods strengthen and build upon the 3 components of a good humane-canine relationship; the bond, trust, and respect.  Some of the common behavioral & puppy issues Paws at Play Training routinely helps with include:

  • ​    Nuisance barking
  •     Jumping 
  •    Pulling on the leash 
  •    Nipping/Chewing/Mouthing
  •    Basic obedience (sit, stay, down, come)
  •    Toileting in the house
  •    Separation anxiety
  •    Manners with children, cats, and other family pets
  •    and MORE!

For dogs that thrive and are happy and healthy, call or email for more information!
