About Wandering Paws Academy

Overview

Wandering Paws Academy serves Lafayette, Indiana, and is run by trainer Rebekah Hudson, a Fear Free certified veterinary technician. Training is offered on weekday evenings and weekends alongside her work as a veterinary technician at Purdue.

Method

The approach uses humane training methods, shaping behavior with treats, toys, and the dog's natural desires.

Services

Services include behavioral consultations (free for new clients), individual lessons, and small-group classes capped at four clients that meet weekly over six weeks. Focus areas include reactivity, leash manners, overly friendly dogs, trail manners, fearful dogs, and retired research dogs.

What to Expect

New clients typically begin with a behavioral consultation before moving into private lessons or a small-group class. The small class size supports individualized attention, and the specialization list reflects work with reactive, fearful, and over-social dogs as well as everyday leash and trail manners. Sessions are scheduled around evenings and weekends; prospective clients reach out directly, with texting noted as the preferred contact method.
