    We heard so many great things about imprinted paws before we enrolled our puppy and the aftermath was amazing! We enrolled for the 3 week board and train program and she is doing absolutely amazing! Before she had a problem with being very mouthy, begging at the table, and had problems with trying to get her to sit, place, and stay. After we picked her up Reagan did our go home class and we were amazed. She was so proper and well trained. The program was great and really helped to improve her behavior not only at home but on walks, meeting new people, and being around other dogs. She doesn’t follow any of her old habits she improved so much! There was a good amount of videos and pictures posted while she was at training which showed just how well she was improving. Overall, i would highly recommend their program if you want a well trained pup!

    If you’re thinking of having your dog go to training you shouldn’t look anywhere else but imprinted paws. Valerie and her whole crew are amazing and care for the dogs so much and make them into the dog you want them to be. I was so amazed when I picked my puppy up at first I thought it wasn’t even my dog. That’s how amazing she did with him and how much she loves and cares and dedicates her life to these dogs. She is a wonderful women and I truly wouldn’t recommend any one else but imprinted paws. Give Valerie a call and i promise you it will be the best decision you could make!

    We sent our two 4-month-old puppies, Teddy and Pixie, to the three-week training program at Imprinted Paws, and the difference is unbelievable. They’ll be just five months old at the start of December, so we knew they were young — but we had no idea how much progress they could make in such a short time. Before training, walking them was nearly impossible. They acted like feral cats on a leash — pulling, spinning, refusing to move, completely overwhelmed. We honestly couldn’t take them on real walks at all. Three weeks later, they came home like different dogs. They walk perfectly on a leash now — calm, focused, and actually enjoyable to take outside. They sleep through the night in their crates, which has been a complete game changer. They’re almost fully house-broken, with consistency and routines we’d never been able to achieve on our own. You’re told beforehand that you’ll only receive one mid-cycle update on their progress, and we did receive one — but we also saw them a few times in their Facebook posts, and even then we could see the difference. The moment we came home, it was clear the Imprinted Paws team had poured real work, patience, and expertise into our pups. Teddy and Pixie look happy, confident, and proud of themselves — and we were blown away by how far they had come. We are genuinely grateful for what Imprinted Paws has done for our dogs and for our home. If you’re struggling with walking, crate training, or basic puppy behaviors, this program is worth every bit of trust you put into it. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
