About The big giant paw

Board and train programs near St Cloud

The Big Giant Paw is a dog training and boarding company serving St Cloud and the Orlando area, founded by Gaby and Leo. It focuses on the education and training of dogs to promote emotional balance for both dogs and families, using techniques that encourage desirable behaviors and strengthen the bond between owner and dog.

Board and training

The 15-day Basic Obedience program ($1,800) suits puppies and young dogs without major behavior problems and covers heel, sit, down, place, come, off and stay, with daily private sessions, socialization and outings in public places. The 21-day Intermediate Obedience & Behavior Modification program ($2,500) also works on issues such as anxiety, excessive chewing and reactivity. A 30-day Advanced Obedience program adds off-leash work. Every program includes owner updates, a handover session at pickup and a follow-up session.

Other services

Basic boarding and a Board & Tune stay keep dogs busy with walks, play and structured training. Graduates can book 1-hour private sessions.
