Dogs' Purpaws, LLC, led by trainer Carla, specializes in helping dogs and their owners. One client engaged Carla to facilitate the integration of a new rescue dog, Moose, with their 4-year-old German Shepherd mix, Charlotte. Initially, Charlotte exhibited anxiety, pulling on walks, and reactivity towards other dogs. After a two-week board and train program and follow-up tips, Charlotte demonstrated significant improvement, becoming less anxious, ceasing to pull on walks, and reducing her reactivity towards other animals.
Carla also assisted another client in addressing their reactive dog through a two-week intensive boarding and training program. The dog returned more confident, calm, and better prepared to interact with other dogs. Carla's guidance extended to the owners, educating them on how their own anxiety and fear affected their dog's behavior, and providing leadership and interaction techniques to enhance their dog's life and theirs.
A third client, with a rescue dog named Bearo, sought Carla's help to address reactivity and walking issues. After a two-week stay with Carla, Bearo became easier to walk, calmer around other dogs, and generally more relaxed. Carla's commitment to the dogs, including providing regular video updates and in-person training sessions, has transformed the client's relationship with Bearo. They feel fortunate to have worked with Carla and believe they have become better dog owners as a result.
