The Dog's Paw - Pet Retreat and Training

Awesome place. Great staff.

Great experience while taking my puppy there to get her trained. Highly highly recommend, very informative, their training methods work and they are very accommodating. They helped us understand ways to train her.

I struggled so long trying to find the perfect trainer for my puppy and I couldn’t be more glad to have found them. They have taught my boyfriend and I so much to keep working with our puppy. Not overly expensive, they are not trying to money grab, they just want what’s best for you and your dog. Worth every penny!

Great event put on for the NKC CRAZY CANUCKS dog show first year participating will be there in the future

We enrolled our dog Bentley into the intensive board & train program at The Dog's Paw. I cannot say enough good things about the whole experience. Our Bentley is a wonderful, stubborn, Great Pyranees mix who went into their program with a huge amount of anxiety. We tried many different avenues to help him but it was Melissa, Randy and their team that have truly made the difference. The training, tools and time they take to teach and explain the process of dog training are like no other. They train YOU to train your dog. They have helped us immensely and I rate them 5 stars without hesitation. If you are unsure of which board and train program to choose within Southern Ontario, trust me, this is it.

My partner and I rescued our boy Remy from Melissa’s dog rescue back in November. We were nervous about boarding him in general as he has grown quite attached to us (and us to him!). We decided that we wouldn’t trust our boy anywhere else than at The Dog’s Paw and we were absolutely right. We boarded him for two nights this past weekend. The staff calmed all of my nerves when I was dropping him off and showed me around the kennel so I knew where he would be spending his time. They also responded to my message during his stay about getting his nails done and just checking in on how he’s doing. We are now very confident in boarding him for our week long vacation at the end of March. Remy was a happy boy after his visit. Thank you so much Melissa and team! :) see you in March!
