Wag and Paw Training

We are so grateful we found Lara. We’ve used her for occasional daycare and boarding for our golden retriever puppy, Luna, and also did her two week training program. The difference was night and day. Luna came home walking beautifully on a leash, solid on her place command, and overall calmer, happier, and so well behaved. Lara is an incredible trainer and teacher. She has clearly been around dogs her whole life and truly understands them. She is patient, knowledgeable, and amazing at explaining things in a way that actually sticks for puppy parents too. She also sends tons of pictures and videos during daycare, boarding, and training, which we absolutely love and really appreciate. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about every dog she works with. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation.

We contacted Lara to help our dog Maple overcome his anxiety in public places, improve his leash walking, and much more. Lara is a kind, caring, and patient person. I highly recommend her! Maple adores her, and they have established an extraordinary bond of trust. She will take care of your dog as if it were her own!

I am so trilled with the behavior training my two dogs have received from Wag and Paw. They have done a complete 180 in terms of their behavior on walks and around other dogs. Lara does an incredible job coaching both dog and owner with how to handle difficult situations and interactions. Her instructions are clear and easy to follow, and its amazing to see how well the dogs respond to the structure. I am so thankful to have found Lara and I highly recommend her services!

Lara managed to turn our wild little puppy into a polite little girl. I appreciated how Lara helped me learn how to manage puppy tantrums with grace :). Our baby also learned how to have confidence around the big dogs and stay in her ‘place’ on the cot. Naturally she also learned loose leash walking, which I love💕💕💕

I am very happy with the services provided by Wag and Paw training, they brought back hope to my pack! This review is about my two senior Yorkshire Terriers, Gizdo and Tubsi (12 and 11 years old) I needed to work on their separation anxiety issues and crate training. Both of them came from Guatemala and moving to a new country was very stressful for them, I’ve tried different trainers before and all of them gave up, I was advised to give anti anxiety meds to my dogs because they were not going to be successful in their training due to their anxiety issues. I felt sad to hear that and basically was hopeless until I met Lara from Wag and Paw training and she said she could work with them. I swear the results are amazing! I am so happy to see that my senior dogs are more confident in their day to day, barking was reduced, and I can finally sleep through the night without having to wake up to potty accidents in bed since they are both happy to sleep on their crates. I fully recommend Wag and Paw training to help with separation anxiety issues and crate training, they are the best! Also they were great at communicating, I received updates everyday, and in addition to the training they were mindful about their health issues and were on top of it by giving them their meds and special diet as instructed. I totally trust them with my loved pack and I would recommend these services to anyone who want to see real change and who are willing to do the job to keep up with the training habits.
