About
Welcome to Paws United. We are a small company that specializes in positive reinforcement dog training. We come to you to help you train your dog. This is highly educational for the owner and every step will be explained. Dog training in your home is a great way to train your dog since it will be one less distraction for you and your pup to worry about since you will be in your own home. These sessions start at $85 and are 60 minutes long. There are package deals of: 7 sessions for $515, 5 sessions for $375 or 3 sessions for $230.
We also offer walk and trains. This can be done either midday while you’re at work or while you are home and we take them for 60 minutes and fill you in on what we did. These are $60/walk. They can be $50/walk if 2 walks/week are scheduled regularly.
Lastly, we offer group classes. These are $225 for 6 sessions. There are flexible schedules (i.e. weekly or every other week depending on your schedule).

Paws United has been a blessing for us with our new puppy. From the first session we were given the tools to help navigate all the small puppy annoyances. We are so thankful to find a trainer that is affective and just an awesome human.

Pro responded to my inquiry almost immediately. We had a lengthy conversation about what she did and how she did it as well as what I was looking for and what I needed. We scheduled a first session based on my needs.

Elizabeth was great she gave us an outline of what we needed to do and walked us through every detail
And showed us what we needed to do for our homework. Our dogs loved her and we were very impressed with everything. Me and my wife were very grateful and booked another appointment next week. We have had a couple other trainers and she was by far the best. If you need a trainer I would highly recommend her. Thanks

Elizabeth’s great and I highly recommend her. We’re first time dog owners and needed some coaching for how to work with our 1 year old on some basic training. We’ve learned a lot of really effective tools and we’ve seen great results in the month that we’ve been working with her.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Sessions start at $85/session. Each session is an hour long. Price increases if time limit is consistently abused or if we opt to add extra dogs/time onto the session. We offer a discount when you buy a package from us: 7 sessions for $515, 5 sessions for $375, and 3 sessions for $230.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When I get a new customer I set up a 90 minute long session. This session is 30 minutes of getting to know you and your needs along with your dog and their needs. The other 60 minutes will be used to work with you and your pup on training. This session is critical so I have the opportunity to make a game plan for us and have the best chance of success. If you have bought a package and we have our first session and you decide we aren't a good match, you get a refund on the unused sessions and no harm done.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have dog training certification through CATCH Canine Academy. I also have experience shadowing several different types of dog trainers as well as 6 years of training under our belt.
