NOTICE:
Loving Paws will be going through some changes the end of June. This is bitter sweet for me since I started Loving Paws in 1998 and now I'm handing the shy and fearful dog classes off to Melissa and Jennifer.
​
Melissa and Jennifer will be starting their own dog training businesses in which Loving Paws will be referring people to. Their websites will be listed here.
​
​
I will still be instructing K9 Nose Work classes.
​
I want to send each and every person that attended a class at Loving Paws my deepest gratitude for choosing us. It has been an honor to work with all of you.
Welcome to our Shy & Fearful Dog Classes!
Our Shy & Fearful Dog class is four weeks long. When possible, we may take the class to different locations weather permits. This class is for the dog that is fearful of humans, animals, noises, or other things in their environment. We show you how to manage your dog’s surroundings and help them build confidence. This is not a class for reactive dogs; those are dogs that bark and lunge at people, animals and other things in the environment.
