Therapy Dog Specialists

At 20 Paws Dog Training, we take pride in helping owners to develop a strong, lasting relationship with their dogs through positive reinforcement education. Teaching the dogs the "rules" at this time of covid-19 quarantine can be challenging. We want to offer you solutions for taking advantage of the time you are home with your dogs.

Please consider joining us for a class!!!

Have you ever thought your dog just does SO MUCH sniffing there should be a class for that? Well, there is! Nose Work is a fun game based on professional detection work that is great for burning off energy, building up a dog’s confidence and much more! Nose work is something that builds a great relationship between you and your dog and even a short search can burn off as much energy as a sprint! There are no prerequisites necessary and easy to practice at home. No matter the size, age, ability of the dog they can all benefit from Nose Work! $185 – 6 Weeks of Classes.

I love the small class size and the amount of attention paid to each dog/human team. Tricia is extremely compassionate and understands dog psychology, and human psychology too! The support is wonderful, and gave me time and space to work with my dog in a positive and productive way.

We’re so grateful to have found 20 Paws! From the very first call, we felt supported and informed — their training has truly helped us grow with our puppy. We drive 30 minutes to class because the experience is worth every mile. |

Great class. Lots of information given to all. Attention to our particular issues directed as needed. Signed up for next class in series. Thank you!!!

The Bakers at 20 Paws have been absolutely wonderful helping us to train our dog, Hope. With the goal of having our dog trained and eventually certified to become a facility therapy dog, we started with Level 1 virtual classes in May, recently graduated from Level 3 and will be starting Animal Assisted Therapy dog classes in January! We are so excited. They have been careful and sensitive during this COVID 19 pandemic, and we are so grateful to have them assisting us! Trish and Kaitlyn are so patient with our little dog, and help us to trouble shoot any difficulties that we have with training Hope! I could have never taken on this venture without their support and guidance!
We love the easy, step by step approach of training 20 Paws offered. Our Australian Shepperd loves coming to class. In only a few weeks, we really noticed how more obedient he became. |

Trish is a world class trainer and is beyond knowledgeable with all training issues. My dog responded so well to her style, caring and compassion. I will take every class she teaches.
Katelyn was an excellent teacher. Her explanations and demonstrations were clear and she broke down the behaviors in easy to follow steps. We enjoyed the walking bootcamp class very much |

Trisha and Katelyn are the best !!! She wouldn’t go any where else ! My dog is a hound and very hard to train , they are so helpful . I would take Alfie my Dog any where else !! Thank Ladies
Senor loved the classes!

The class helped Bear improve his focus around distractions like other dogs and strangers, using fewer treats and more advanced tasks. It also prepared him well for the Therapy Evaluation and CGC test.
