Gayle Lynn-Nelson
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.
Becky Ritucci
| 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. |
Bianca Caproni
So grateful for this class! It helped us a lot with training our puppy.
Sara Smeck
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!
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!

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.

Pancake has matured and developed so much through interaction with Tricia, Katelyn, Kathy and all the other dogs.

This puppy/beginner class was great! Tricia and her daughter Katelyn are truly wonderful trainers and have set us up for years of success with our sweet pup, Achilles. Thanks so much!

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. |
