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!
ANN ROMERO
Excellent class I have done 2 classes already , with my dog beginner with Tricia and Walking Bootcamp with Katelyn. Both are excellent trainers and I wouldn’t go any where else with my dog! thank you ladies.
Michele Russo
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.
Robert Garofalo
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.
Scott Klein
The class that Tricia has is awesome she very good.
She runs a nice class and Mazie loves it I would recommend the class to anyone. Katelyn is her daughter and also awesome. They are very good at what they do.
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!
