Training Request Form

"Barkley came to us well-behaved as a rescue from the reservation by way of Almost Home Rescue. At 8 months old he was active and intelligent. Barkley is many breeds, but mostly “herding” and therefore needed a job. We realized we would need some help, and we contacted Paws. Olivia met with us, offering us options and opportunities.

Barkley attended Day Train and Day University for off-leash training before he was a year old. Since then, we have continued with training classes, everything from basic obedience to Canine Good Citizen, and trick class with Olivia and Sophie.

The staff at Paws are always welcoming, considerate, and professional. Barkley attends Day University 2 days a week now and is so happy when he arrives; he is comfortable with all staff and trainers. Olivia has been our guiding light. She is very knowledgeable, patient and willing to help as needed. We are thankful for Paws and hope they are part of our family for many years to come." ~ Katie & Mike

"When I got my new puppy in March, I knew I wanted him to have the best life I could give him but have the skills to be an amazing and well mannered dog. I had recently moved back to Sioux Falls after several years and wasn’t sure where to make it all happen.

I decided on Paws Pets and haven’t looked back. Arnie went through Puppy 101, 201, Basic 201, Puppy University, Day Train, Dog University and several drop in classes and group obedience. Once he started his first class, he was so excited to learn, make new friends, and be loved on.

Dropping him off was so exciting for him and he always had the best time and became the most wonderful boy. Olivia worked with both of us non stop to learn his basic commands and e collar training and I could not be happier with all of it. I knew Olivia was so kind to Arnie and never pushed him too hard or let him slack on his learning. Arnie loved Paws from the staff at the front desk to all the trainers who worked with him. He is a very happy well mannered boy that will soon be visiting seniors at the homes and I have to thank everyone for making that possible.

I plan on doing more classes to keep up with his skills and learn new ones. I feel more confident in myself to help Arnie be the best boy he can be, thanks to the help from the trainers working with me.

I highly recommend Paws Pets to anyone that has a new puppy or a dog that needs any kind of training. They really do care and it shows." ~ Janet
