Cannot say enough good things about the 2 week board & train program. Marshall was our trainer and he’s a GEM of a human. It’s very nerve wracking to leave your pet with a stranger for two weeks. Marshall kept me updated daily with photos, videos and details about their day. He also spent 1.5 hrs with me upon pick up educating and training me so I would be equipped and confident to keep the momentum going. You could tell Marshall loved my dog so much - he’s extended family now!

Shannon trained my dog Russell and she did an awesome job. I'm so pleased with his progress and how simple she made it for me to keep continuously working with him. She was thorough, caring, and provided daily updates. I am very appreciative of the entire experience. Thanks!

My pup Dodger did a board and train stay with Big Paws. Christian, his trainer, treated Dodge like one of his own. He became a part of his pack for the two weeks he was away. Sending him away for two weeks was tough on me but Christian checked in daily and really made us feel like a part of the entire training process. Dodger now loves life off leash and gets to explore so much more than he was ever able to before. I couldn't say enough good things about Christian and Big Paws and all the incredible work they are doing. Anyone who asks, I would definitely recommend them to help with any training needs you have!

Big Paws 2 week Board & Train program changed mine and my pup Dickens life together. Marshall was Dickens’ trainer and he was nothing short of amazing. I struggled dropping Dickens off for 2 weeks, but Marshall started treating dickens like part of his family the moment we came through the door, and I knew he was in great hands. Marshall sent me daily updates with videos of Dickens, leaving me shocked with every video. Mine and Dickens relationship together has done a 180. There is no better feeling than us both getting to enjoy our outings together and not stress. If I could give 10 stars, I would. The package is absolutely worth the investment!

I’ve worked with Big Paws off and on for the past year. Bowie completed the two week boarding/training with Christian, after I was unsuccessful staying consistent with his training at home. For Bowie, he had the best two weeks playing and learning with Christian and his dogs. Bowie was always a sweet boy but now he is able listen and follow commands without any issues. The team is so nice at Big Paws and goes out of their way to check in and help in any way. 10/10 would recommend.

Just recently finished up a 2 week board and train with Big Paws. I am so impressed with how fast my dog Dash’s behavior changed. My trainer Marshall took Dash into his home and treated him like his own dog. Beyond the training though, I was kept up to date with everything daily. Communication throughout the process was super important for me so Marshall made sure I never missed a thing while Dash was away. My relationship with Dash has improved significantly with him being well behaved! Seriously recommend to anyone who is looking for some training!
