About Pawz In Time ~ HeartSoul Dog Training
Training from the heart, not the leash
Pawz In Time / HeartSoul Dog Training in Bellaire is run by Sherri and Beth, who describe their philosophy as "training from the heart and soul – not the leash and collar." The emphasis is on building a bond rooted in trust and love and on clear communication rather than force-based correction, which places this firmly in the positive, relationship-driven camp.
Classes and credentials
The class roster runs through group formats including a Star Puppy class and ongoing obedience groups held at the facility on Key Bellaire Road. On the credential side, the site references APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers) membership and AKC Fit Instructor certification across multiple levels, along with CGC evaluation. Years in business and pricing are not stated on the site, so anyone comparing options should ask about session length and cost when they reach out. For owners who specifically want a gentle, treat-and-praise group-class environment close to the Ohio Valley, this is a clear fit.
Sit, stay, recall and reliable commands, from beginner to advanced.

I have attended different classes with Beth & Sherri and have learned helpful training techniques from them.
They are amazing as a team and offer fun ways to engage with your dogs on a daily basis that reinforce training.
They have fantastic social media pages that provide helpful info as well!

We took two different classes here and will 100% be taking more in the future! I highly recommend these classes to everyone I talk to. Sherri and Beth are both great, they’re extremely supportive and helpful. They not only help you train your dog, but they help you learn what your dog needs from you. We’ve learned so much from these classes and I can’t wait for our next one!

We have taken several classes now with Sherri and Beth, they are by far the most interactive trainers I have worked with. I had been looking for a new "home" for all my dog activities after moving from my established area and my boy and I enjoy each and every class and become better partners with each one. They offer something for everyone from beginner on up, I have watched so many transformations take place in our group classes, from unruly dog to well behaved compainion, they teach both dog and human how to be a better partner. If you come to class, do your practice at home in between classes, you will Not be disappointed. They also do private lessons for those who need a little extra help. We look forward to many years of activities here. AKC S.T.A.R Puppy, AKC Puppy Manners, AKC Adult Manners, AKC CGC "Canine Good Citizen" AKC Fit, Rodeo Dog, Scent Training and More. There's something for everyone. Even dog trainers need dog trainers 😉

I absolutely love training my dogs at Pawz in Time! The offered behavior approach to training works so well with the dogs and is stress free. The instructors are educated, knowledgeable, and personable. The facility is large, clean, and has updated modern equipment. Parking is ample, and the facility is less than 5 minutes off of Rt 7, making it very easy to get to.

I was losing my mind on how to train my new puppy, then I found Pawz in Time. They trained ME on how to train Calypso. All the trainers are so welcoming and friendly. I couldn’t recommend them enough! I get so many compliments on Calypso and I always tell them about Pawz in Time!
