About
Helping Paws isn’t just dog training — it’s healing, connection, and transformation grounded in skill, empathy, and lived experience. As a one-person business, you work directly with a dedicated professional who shows up prepared, present, and fully committed to your dog’s progress. Our approach is trauma‑informed and relationship‑based, so dogs are never pushed, punished, or overwhelmed. Instead, they’re understood. We read body language, history, and emotional patterns to create tailored plans where every session is intentional and every breakthrough is celebrated. We’re certified in behavior correction, reactivity, obedience, service dog work, and dog psychology, and we also offer dog walking, pet and house sitting, plus mobile dog grooming for complete care. If you’re ready to strengthen your bond, restore confidence, and give your family hope, let’s talk about how Helping Paws can support you and your dog.

She is just so amazing with my two chihuahua mixes, one being SO dramatically scared of getting her nails done! But her and her partner have really gotten in her trust zone already and so amazing at working a different and unusually often nail schedule to gently work down her quicks until she can finally get a real cut again and they won't always be so long because of it! And I had tried elsewhere warning them of her fear and occasional aggressiveness because of it and asked them to dremel instead which they agreed to. then when I go inside she's essentially screaming and crying as they were CUTTING, quicks and all and doing an aggressive stronghold on her to get it done! she was so traumatized and angry at me for a while after that! But not with this team! Just a little moment of fear at first then little whimpers during but soon stops and relaxes, as much as she can anyway.Love them!!

We cannot recommend Amanda highly enough! We started working with her when our pitbull puppy was young, and the progress we’ve seen has been amazing. Our puppy is learning quickly, becoming more focused, obedient, and confident with every session. Not only is Amanda incredibly knowledgeable and patient, but she genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. She takes the time to answer questions, provide guidance, and make sure everyone feels supported throughout the process. What truly sets Amanda apart is how welcoming she is. From day one, she made us feel like part of the family, and over time we’ve built a great friendship with her. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for us and our puppy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding dog trainer.

Highly recommend Helping Paws Dog Training. This is personalized training catered to your dog's individual needs and personality. Amanda knows dogs. She understands their responses, cues, triggers and crafts her training into an efficient and stress-free experience for dog and human. My dog showed signs of improvement after the first session. She doesn't rush through instructions for me or my dog, and her friendly approach makes her feel like a long-time friend. She is an EXCELLENT trainer. I understand my dog and his needs so much better now after working with Amanda and Helping Paws.

Details: 1 - 2 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • Private lessons • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Biting • Barking • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful words. It means the world to Moose and me that you trusted us so quickly — welcoming Skipper into our care has been a true privilege. Your kindness and confidence in what we do remind us why we love this work. Please know you’re already part of our family. We’re honored to be on this journey with you and Skipper, and we’ll be here to support, encourage, and celebrate every step you take together. With deep gratitude, Moose and I look forward to everything you both will achieve.

We are lucky to have a true dog whisperer among us. Amanda speaks dog and is great at translating for dog owners. Amanda and Moose and the rest of her crew have been helping my two year old Great Dane rescue with severe anxiety and newly developed aggression after being attacked more than once. My girl is blooming, gaining confidence and beginning to believe the world is not out to get her. She adores Amanda and she's making great strides towards being a well rounded dog. Thanks, Amanda!

Amanda is very knowledgeable regarding dog handling and training. She has helped with tracing 3 of my 4 dogs. The dogs love her and we do too. She provides good training at a good value. I recommend Amanda and her dog handling and training skills 100%. Cindy Huckeby
