About
Paws On The Ground uses coaching techniques by working with the client in coaching them on training their dog, The importance of this type of approach is that the client trains their dog which has been proven to have positive results and solidifies the bond bond between handler and dog. I start off by offering a free in home evaluation where I look at the breed specifics, diet, behaviors, surroundings, etc. During the evaluation, I make dietary recommendations and training recommendations based on my findings and what the handler would like to accomplish.The next step is I formulate a program that meets the needs of the client and their dog. Paws On The Ground uses positive reinforcement, rewards based techniques. I will not use or allow the use of electronic collars, pinch collars, or choke chains in training. These items can cause serious injury and emotional damage to the dog. Paws On The Ground is Veteran owned and operated providing quality training at affordable rates.State licensed. Like us on Facebook! facebook.com/pawsontheground4u \ I enjoy seeing the end result of a confident handler and obedient dog. Usually after the first one or two sessions, the handler gets all excited realizing that they can actually train their dog and have fun doing so.

I would 100% recommend Dennis from Paw On The Ground for anyone who wants excellent results. Dennis started working with my 14 week old Rottweiler boy Rocky and was absolutely amazing! Rocky now 21 weeks, has transformed into an amazing boy! Rocky has mastered all the basic commands such as sit, stay, etc., running off of a chain with me, walking on a chain by my side and socialization skills! This was all possible because of how much pride and love that Dennis has for training dogs and humans! Dennis helped to inform me by explaining all the reasoning of why he chose the activities that he did. This was so useful! It has helped me to understand Rocky so much better! Thank you so much Dennis for helping me with Rocky! Any other family that needs a trainer will be lucky to have your training skills!

We just had our first meet and greet with the trainer. Dennis was very knowledgeable and informative about quick tips for our dog and explained in detail about the services we will be getting. We can't wait for our first training session and observing what our dog can learn!

Dennis goes above and beyond to help you. He is very informed on training techniques for both the dog and their handler. He is patient, flexible and truly cares about animals. He makes himself available for questions and assistance outside of your training sessions if needed. His fees are very reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to train their dog.

Very knowledgable and professional dog trainer!! I really like that he uses treats/rewards as a way of teaching and NOT using shock collars. My dog has been learning fast because of his techniques. On top of that, the trainer is very patient and flexible to work around your schedule. He even took the time to research the issues I was having with my dog (on his own time). Aside from the basic dog training, he also offers advanced classes. We meet up once a week and work on a command. This gives me time to train my dog on that specific command(s) during the days I am not with the trainer. Repetition is necessary to succeed. He also gives out goals for the dog every week and he always wants us as dog owners to succeed. If you want a very knowledgable and personable dog trainer, I highly recommend Dennis.

After an initial consultation with Dennis we were thrilled to have him come back to help with our puppy Archer. The consultation was easy and effective, we spoke about our concerns and ways to remedy some mild behaviors. Dennis was great with Archer and immediately showed his professionalism and talent for dog training. Within 20 minutes of Dennis arriving we were already getting Archer to follow the command "off" when he was jumping on people. Dennis was very friendly and sincere in recommending the best package for Archer. Our first session is today and I am thrilled! Ryan
