TESTIMONIALS

We used Paw by Paw for help with our Cane Corso, Buddy, when we first got him at 8 weeks. We chose to do the year-long training considering our boy was going to get very big. This was 2-1/2 years ago, but the training has paid off immensely. Buddy's visual and verbal commands work as well today as they did when he was 3 months old, yet today he is 185 pounds. He does scare most people when he stands up and puts his paws on the counter, but this boy's training is incredible. I couldn't be happier with Ayumi and the work she has done, let alone the fact that our boy is so good and easy to handle. I am a 60-year-old woman, and this boy walks right next to me and never pulls or runs to get to anyone or anything. I am so grateful for the gift she has given us with such a great boy to have with us.

CINDY P SAYS:

Ayumi is absolutely awesome! My dog was really scared of going up and down the stairs at home and I would have to carry him up and down every time. He would panic if I left to another floor without him and bark uncontrollably. I learned so much from Ayumi in just one session and she taught my dog how to go up and down the stairs in about 15 minutes (I had been trying for about a year)! My dog also does pack walks with her, and I've noticed a significant difference in his leash behavior. He's so calm on our walks and we are able to enjoy them together. Ayumi's love for her work is evident, and she is truly talented in what she does! I would highly recommend!

DIANA SAYS:

I highly recommend Ayumi for your dog. She is seriously the best dog trainer. I always say she works her magic on puppies, rescues, older dogs—basically, any dog that needs it—but it isn't really magic. She just knows what she is doing and does it successfully. I am amazed at how Ayumi can transform a dog who needs help into a well-trained one. You can see for yourself in her video posts. She is patient, knowledgeable, hardworking, and always treats her dogs with kindness and understanding. My dog, Sydney, was trained by Ayumi as a puppy, and it was the best thing we did as owners. Sydney is now 7 and looks forward to being a part of Ayumi's pack walk every week.

LAURIE SAYS:

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!
Ayumi and her team at Paw by Paw are outstanding. In April of 2020, we got a labradoodle as the family pet. I knew that I wanted to get him trained as soon as vaccines permitted (June). I have followed Ayumi and her work for a while now and saw so many great things. Nashville had to be trained by the best, and that's Paw by Paw.

SHANESE SAYS:

Upon requesting boarding training for Nash, Ayumi did a consultation call with me over the phone. We went over how he was doing, things that were important to me that he learn, and then suggestions she had that I never thought of as well. We went over pricing and the layout of the program. The price may seem on the higher side, but when you take into account all the additional months and video calls you receive as well as one on ones after boarding, you soon realize it is worth every dollar.

Consultation:

Ayumi came to my house to pick up Nash. She sent an itemized list of things she will need like food, medicine, etc. She arrived on time and with her mask on. She puts you, the dogs, and herself in high regard to safety during the pandemic. My husband walked Nash out to the car, and he was pulling and going backward (which is why he had never been on a leash walk prior to training).

Pick Up:

He went for his 3-week boarding training where Ayumi updated me throughout the weeks with videos and messages of his progress. Nashville went to training not knowing how to walk on a leash, couldn't sleep in a crate without crying for hours, bit everyone, jumped on people, ate socks, ate cords, etc. As the videos rolled in, I couldn't believe the progress in just a few days. When she sent the video of Nashville walking on a leash properly, I literally cried. Out of anything I wanted from training, him walking on a leash was my highest priority. Granted, at this time, I was now almost 2 months pregnant, and training was more important than ever. He continuously made huge strides with his training as the weeks went on.

training:

Ayumi brought Nash back to us for a one-on-one now that boarding was over. I walked with him as she instructed, and it went great. My stepkids also walked with him, and he did great. My husband had mild knee surgery and had to walk very slowly. Nashville walked at his pace, never pulling away. We were in awe of his progress. He slept in the crate without crying, went on walks with us without pulling, and overall we saw a huge improvement. He is still a puppy, so there were puppy things he did.

DROP OFF:

There is a Facebook group where we post videos and interact with other parents from her training classes. It's nice because Ayumi responds to everyone, and you also get to see you are not alone in the process of training your pup. We have these great video chats as well.

POST BOARDING:

Overall, this is the place to get your pup trained. Ayumi and her team are superstars. They take great pride in what they do and treat your pup as if they were their own.

My husband and I own companies and strongly believe you get what you pay for. If you want Walmart training, take your dog to a 2-day course. If you want Nordstrom training, you come here and get the full package deal!!
