"We have a new puppy and sought early training with the intention of him becoming a service dog. We received friendly and professional service — they obviously love their students at Coaching 4 Paws. As owners we were given thorough classes in how to handle our pet and use what he had learned properly. We received constant updates and pictures. We are definitely returning for more training as he gets older."
"My 6 month old German Shepherd puppy came home after 3 weeks at Coaching 4 Paws a well-mannered dog. No more leash pulling, she stays in place when I walk away, holds door manners, and heels by my side like a champ. Faith was her trainer and transformed my little pup into a well-mannered little lady. Words simply can't express how well-mannered she has now become. Thank you Coaching 4 Paws and Faith!"
"My Corgi puppy Mabel did a 3 week Board and Train program with Caroline and she did an amazing job — her walking, waiting, and recall are all so much better. Caroline was a wonderful trainer for both me and Mabel. The communication was excellent and I was able to track Mabel's progress via great videos along the way. Would definitely recommend this program."
Let’s build better behavior and a calmer home—starting now. Whether you’re raising a new puppy, dealing with challenging habits, or aiming for reliable obedience, our experienced team is here to help. Coaching 4 Paws proudly works with dog owners in all areas of Connecticut.
