Training
Skill, Experience, Knowledge and Compassion.
Owner and trainer, Terri Spencer, has moved her training programs back home to Paws Town! Terri has been training dogs for most of her life and has been doing so professionally for over 15 years. Terri is certified by the National Association for Dog Obedience Instructors (NADOI), the oldest certifying body for dog trainers in the world. NADOI's certification is one of the most difficult to achieve, and Terri is currently the only active instructor in the area who has done so.
​
Terri has trained thousands of dogs in her career and has extensive experience helping owners with a number of common behavior issues. From teaching basic manners to rehabilitating fearful and feral dogs, Terri's passion for canine behavior shows. She is dedicated to compassion, education, and transparency in dog training; something sadly needed in the industry today. Dogs aren't just a passion for Terri; they are a lifestyle.

Day School
Add training to daycare for maximum mental and physical stimulation!
This service is perfect for dogs who need extra mental stimulation or more practice on their manners! Your dog will spend the first part of his/her day in our classroom to receive one-on-one training sessions and structured activities with our certified dog trainer. Once class time is over, your pup will spend the rest of the day playing in daycare until it's time to go home. Our trainer will make sure you receive a written report card to let you know what your dog worked on, how he/she performed, and how to practice at home. (Yes, you will have to help your pup with their homework!)
