Patti is the most amazing person, and an exceptional trainer…read more I have a rescue Rottie girl and have been incredibly apprehensive to work with a trainer. I came to Patti with concerns of reactivity and negative leash behaviors. Patti was the perfect person to go on this journey with. She is thoughtful, kind and so knowledgeable- so much quality information and personalized training techniques were given to me in our first session. She followed up with an in-depth guide and assessment for me to work from, which I really appreciate having this information to consistently reference. It's only the first week and my dog has had a complete change in her leash behavior and her general demeanor, I'm just in awe. We will be continuing on with Patti for the foreseeable future, I'm so grateful for her and will preach her life-changing work until the end of time. 20/10 cannot recommend enough.

I called Patti, and she put him on a diet that has finally resulted in his losing weight and being healthier than he has ever been. I am delighted. Patti has a tremendous amount of knowledge about canine nutrition, cares deeply about dogs and the importance of feeding them nutritious and nourishing food, and is simply wonderful to work with. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Our pets were exposed to Parvovirus from here. No verification done by owners/trainers. When confronted about parvo exposure, they said it wasn't their problem. Not going back. Beware, not up to health standards. The owner criticizes & berates animal owners. She singles out an owner and gets on her soapbox about ridiculous things. Very unprofessional *Additional update to original post: Ongoing unprofessional & harassing behavior by the owner who has sent me several threatening messages due to my review/experience. Won't go into the specifics as this not the forum, but want others to know the type of service they can expect from here.

We were told about Puget Sound K9 Academy by one of my husband's clients. We set up an appointment…read morefor our dog, Bento (a 4 year-old GSD), and Jamie interviewed him. We thought Bento was an aggressive dog, but Jamie said he was just reactionary so he was willing to train him. We have been working with Jamie for over five months, and we love his teaching methods. He is very skilled and provides us (the humans) with individual instructions on how to improve our dog and our own reactions to him. We have been dedicated to getting Bento to be less reactive and he is doing much better. We have walked the mall three times; once with a group of his dogs and twice with just Jamie. Jamie has an excellent assistant instructor when he needs him to be available. We are now working on agility training, which our dog loves. We love Jamie and will continue to have him train our dog for as long as we can.

We credit her 100% with his evolution into a mostly well-behaved, calmer, and kinder dog. He adores her and knows exactly when it's time for his hikes, and is bereft when he doesn't have one (how he knows the day/time is a question for science).

Three days a week she comes by and takes our beloved dog along with other canines on an adventure in the country. What's so special is that run together in a group.

As first time dog owners, we appreciate Leslie's attention to our dog's health and welfare, the reminders that a rabies or other vaccination is due, and if there are issues that we might want to watch... and because she's interacting with, playing with, and getting to know each dog well, her observations are truly valued. Each time we drop off or pick up our precious little one, we thank our lucky stars for Peaceful Paws and the owners!

She violated my right to privacy with my vet. Only to find out everything I told her was true. I did everything she asked and then she asked for more. One can only hope she treats the dogs better than their owners but I am not certain. One of her dogs seems very aggressive but she had someone in the yard calming him down to not show his true colors when I was there. I do not think he is safe to be around. I was not allowed to stay and observe for the first time my young pup was to be there. She thinks she is extremely smart because she was once a vet tech... not a vet.. just a vet tech... alas dumb and small minded people think they know it all....and think they have some moral and intellectual superiority. I assure you, none there. Use at your own risk.

We have our wonderful goofy pup, Mowgli, from her, he is a year and a half now. Every interaction has been very professional and amazing. She charges a carry fair price for everything included with adoption. If you cannot afford it, then you shouldn't bring a pet home with you. Pibble and All Paws rescues so many dogs from certain death. I think that so many people expect a rescue pup to come free, trained, and guaranteed healthy for their lifetime. That's not what owning a pet is. If that's what you want, get a pet rock. Pets are work, and money....but in exchange you get to save a life and unconditional love! Please go add up the cost of traveling from California or Texas, microchip, immunizations and spay/neuter, it definitely isn't free.
