About Paws Down Dog Training

What they offer

Paws Down Dog Training is run by Rachael, the owner and sole trainer, and serves north Peoria, north Phoenix and nearby areas. Its board and train has the dog stay with her for daily hands-on training in a home environment, which she recommends for busy owners or dogs with complex behavioral needs. Private lessons and coaching take place at your home, her home, a local park or virtually when it suits the situation.

How she trains

She describes balanced training that uses rewards, structure and clear consequences depending on what the dog needs, and stresses that the owner's daily follow-through is part of the work. Her own first rescue was reactive, which she says is part of why she does this work.

Getting started

A free meet and greet is the first step.
