About Paws N Claws Academy, LLC
Positive training across the Streetsboro corridor
Paws N Claws Academy, LLC is based in Streetsboro, OH and serves a wide local area including Cleveland, Akron, Hudson, Twinsburg, Aurora, and surrounding towns. The focus is squarely on training rather than boarding or grooming: dog and puppy training classes, in-home private training, and what the site calls "positive dog training programs." The stated method is positive reinforcement, with the goal of establishing leadership, teaching household manners, preventing behavior problems, and strengthening the bond between owner and dog.
What the programs target
The site is specific about the everyday problems it addresses — jumping, chewing, nipping, "selective hearing," fear- and anxiety-related aggression, and a general lack of household manners. That practical, manners-and-behavior framing suggests programs aimed at pet owners wanting a well-mannered family dog rather than competition or sport titles. The website is functional but fairly minimal: it does not name the owner or trainer, list any certifications, or state how many years the business has been operating. Owners who want those specifics should reach out directly via Info@PawsNClawsAcademy.com. For positive-reinforcement training delivered either in a group setting or one-on-one in your home, Paws N Claws is a straightforward option in the greater Streetsboro and Cleveland-Akron area.
Sessions in your own home, where many behavior problems actually happen.

I am so glad I took my dog Benny to private sessions with Hollie! I got Benny as a rescue and he had been adopted out and returned twice for aggression before I got him. Hollie helped me work with him to overcome his nervousness which is what was causing his aggression. He's so much happier and not as nervous around people. Also the rates were so reasonable and the training methods do not include a shock collar. I had been looking for private training and other people clearly had making money as their first priority, but at Paws and Claws the first priority is you and your dog's education and happiness. They make dog training accessible!

We took our golden retriever, Sophie, to Paws N Claws and had a fantastic positive experience! Hollie is a knowledgeable and excellent teacher. I highly recommend this school if you want to develop a well-behaved pup that can learn in a positive environment.

Bringing my extremely high energy American Pitbull/ Boxer mix pup to Hollie and James's classes has been life changing! They are so knowledgeable about dog behavior and effective training methods and do an incredible job sharing this important information with their clients. Not only do they teach dogs good manners, but they teach owners how to be better dog owners. Some human reactions actually encourage unwanted behaviors from dogs or make the learning process more difficult for them. With their guidance I learned how to alter my behavior to create an environment where my dog can learn and thrive! They undoubtedly made me the dog mom I want to be and helped my pup be the sweet, well behaved, pup he is today! Otis also loves going to see his teachers and classmates, as soon as I say "school" he runs to the door and wags his tail while sitting patiently for me to pack up the car! I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!!

So happy we found Hollie and Paws N Claws Academy! Our dog, Darby, just completed the Novice Obedience class and is beginning a second class there. Hollie's knowledge and understanding of dogs is amazing and her training methods are unbelievably quick. She uses great analogies to explain canine behaviors so pet parents can understand their thought process. Can't say enough good things!!

Hollie at paws and claws is amazing. We took the puppy class there when we first got our lab/golden and she amazed us with accomplishing impossible tasks with dogs. We always caught ourselves saying, "yeah right" but then whatever she did worked. We have since gone back for one on one individual training sessions and now are in a 5 week intermediate group class. The prices are amazing compared to other service providers in the field. Only trouble we had was Hollie talks really fast! But if you stop her and clarify, don't be afraid to ask questions, review homework before you leave and write things down you'll be good! My pup loves her, we call her the cheese lady, she always greets the dogs and gives them cheese! Definitely give it a try here!
