About N 2 Paws

Whole-pet positive training

N 2 Paws, based in Peculiar, Missouri, offers what it calls whole pet positive training and support. Its behavior coaching covers reducing anxiety, fears and stress, rescue or rehoming transitions, senior care, special-needs support and post-surgical support, and its specialty classes include one on coping with noisy events such as thunderstorms or fireworks and one on working through separation anxiety.

Methods

The main tool is the Tellington Training Method (TTouch), which the site describes as a respectful approach built on the idea that animals learn more in the absence of fear or pain. N 2 Paws also offers Reiki, nutrition coaching, essential oils, massage, Alpha-Stim sessions (with a veterinary prescription) and Doga, a dog-and-owner yoga class.

The trainer and pricing

Owner Pat Hennessy lists herself as an Advanced Tellington Method practitioner, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) and an Associate Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (ACDBC). Private in-home sessions are $125 per hour, plus mileage where it applies; dog workshops and phone consults are priced separately. Call (816) 522-7005 or email info@n2paws.com.
