Barbara Weiner
Pancake has matured and developed so much through interaction with Tricia, Katelyn, Kathy and all the other dogs.
Jennifer Reed
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.
Danielle DePalma
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!

Tricia really understands dogs, how to train them and how to love them. She was very helpful in giving us tips and tricks to have a well behaved pet.

| 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 and Katelyn teach a wonderful class. It was a safe, friendly and inclusive environment for all dogs and people! So happy I was able to attend. Their tips and guidance really helped my dog and I communicate better. Can’t wait to take another class!

Classes, positive training techniques, happy sociable dogs. It’s not about punishment, it’s about
consistency of message and reinforcing positive behaviors. Great class taught by great
professionals. |
Judith MacLaury
| 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 |
