Learn more about Paw by Paw dog training!

Ayumi is an amazing dog trainer. She understands and is well informed in dog psychology. Her calm assertive approach is much reaffirming not only to your dog but for you as a human. She's trained with the best, and I've recommended friends, colleagues, and family to her for dog training. I can not recommend her enough. She helped us find peace in our home with our adopted pooch. We're all happy, healthy, and thriving because of the tools she gave us. You will not regret the investment in this lifelong education for your current or future dogs. Thanks, Ayumi!

CINDY SAYS:

If you are looking for a pet trainer in the Los Angeles area, look no further. Your search stops here. Ayumi and her team at Paw By Paw are not only excellent at what they do for our pets, they understand the fundamentals of training begins with us, the owners. Trained by the dog whisperer himself, Ayumi has gained an incredible amount of skills and tools that she utilizes in helping us understand our pet companions better. If you were debating between packages, I highly recommend doing the full-year journey package. I know it feels like a lot of money, because it is, but the investment is worth a lifetime. We are so happy and satisfied with our puppy's training and would do it all over again. Definitely be proactive when setting goals and desires for your pet. That's the best way to make use of all of the resources that are sent to you via Ayumi and her Paw By the Paw training company.

ISAAC SAYS:

Ayumi is such a great trainer! She is very thorough and gives very detailed instructions on how to continue the training once she's completed her training sessions. While my puppy Braxton was with her, we were at ease because we were able to get updates frequently. Braxton loves hanging out with Ayumi and her Husky Boss overnight as well. We also enjoyed an out-of-town retreat a few months after the training. We definitely recommend her services!

KENYA SAYS:

Ayumi has transformed our over-reactive dog into a calm and even-tempered companion! We love our new dog! She's social and safe around other dogs — and best, we're having a much better time walking her and being out for dinner with other dogs close by. We love Paw by Paw!

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of dog training methods do you use?

At Paw by Paw dog training, we practice balance training whether we're doing puppy training or helping older dogs. This means we do not implement a one-size-fits-all training method on any of the pups or owners who work with us. Other dog trainers often focus only on positive reinforcement training, but we’ve learned that proper dog training requires a customized approach, and that’s exactly what we’ll give you and your dog. Our dog trainers will determine the best approach for your dog’s behavior to help them become the happiest and best dog they can be!

How early can I begin training with my puppy?

Dog owners can start to train your puppy as early as eight weeks old! Our training programs set up puppy owners for success from the get-go! We aid with potty training, crate training, leash training, and more. By the time our trainers finish your puppy training, you’ll be able to enjoy loose leash walking and increase your human-dog bond. 

Do you work with all breeds?

YES! We do not exclude any breeds. We know that some other dog trainers won’t work with certain breeds, but we’re happy to train your dog no matter their breed. We’ve worked with all sorts of dog breeds, including Pitbulls, Huskies, Cane Corsos, and so many more!

Do you take on dog aggression cases?

Depending on the severity of the dog’s aggression, we may take them on or refer you to another trusted dog behaviorist. Our first step would be to set up a discovery call to see if we’re the perfect fit for the challenges you’re experiencing! We want your dog to get the best dog behaviorist possible, and if that trainer isn’t us, we’ll refer you to someone who may be a better match for your dog. 

Do you guarantee training results?

Training results are never guaranteed as we work with live animals with unique genetics and characteristics. Just like learning a language, without practice and consistency, we can become a bit rusty—and the same applies to dog behavior and training. Whether we do private lessons or board and train, we will always do our best to address breed-specific behavior. You will also be required to help your dog keep up their behavior and obedience training using the education and tools we provide to see the best possible results. 

Do you provide protection dog training?

We do NOT provide protection dog training, service dog training, or agility training, but we can definitely point you in the right direction if that’s what you’re looking for!

My dog is over two years old. Is that too old to start training?

Nope! No dog is too old to begin behavioral training. We’ve even trained 13-year-olds! Our trainers are happy to train your dog regardless of age because we believe every dog deserves to live the best life possible, and proper training is a key element in giving them that wonderful life.
