UNLOCK YOUR DOG’S FULL POTENTIAL WITH EXPERT TRAINING

At School for Paws, I believe every dog has the ability to thrive-and every owner deserves to feel confident and connected with their companion. Based in Dallas-Fort Worth, I offer personalized, results driven training that focuses on building a strong, lasting bond between you and your dog.

I don't just train your dog-I teach you how to become their best teacher. My Play + Precision approach combines the fun of play with clear structure and guidance, creating reliable results that last a lifetime. Through communications, respect, and trust, I help shape calm, balanced, and well-mannered dogs both at home and in public.

Every dog is different, with their own personality, challenges, and strengths. That's why I tailor each program to meet your dog's specific needs-whether you're looking for basic obedience, leash manners, advanced off-leash training, or behavior modification for issues like barking, reactivity, or separation anxiety.

At School for Paws, dogs aren't just pets-they're family. Whether you want to solve behaviors or simply enjoy life with a well-mannered companion, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.

See the difference Play + Precision can make.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What types of dogs do you train?

We work with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behavior issues. Whether your dog is a puppy or has been struggling for years, we have the tools to help.

How often will I receive progress updates?

You will receive updates from once a week to 3 times a week. You will get a check-in photo, progress video and content showing you where they have been and what they have been working on during their stay.

How do I get started with training at School For Paws?

The first step to enroll in our Board and Train program or private sessions is to schedule an evaluation. This allows me to observe your dog’s behavior, discuss your goals for them and briefly work with your dog so that we can recommend the best course of action.

Where does my dog stay during their board and train program?

During your dog’s stay he or she will live as part of our family, not in a loud stressful boarding facility. He or she will be living at our home interacting with my family and my dogs on a daily basis. Your dog will be treated as if it were my own.

Why do I need to schedule an evaluation?

An evaluation is important for me to observe any inappropriate or unwanted habits, and to gather a baseline of your dog’s behavior. It also gives us a chance to discuss training goals, while creating realistic expectations for our students and clients.

What support do you offer after the training program is completed?

We don’t just train your dog—we empower you as the owner. Every program includes three complimentary 90-minute private follow-up sessions, designed to give you the tools, confidence, and clarity to maintain your dog’s progress at home.

Plus, we offer lifetime support for your dog, so you can reach out anytime for advice, guidance, or troubleshooting—no matter how long it’s been.
