We appreciated that she came to our home, so that Argos could train in his normal environment before heading to new places and meeting new puppies. Definitely would recommend to anyone with a dog and if we need any training in the future we will definitely give her a call again.

It has been awesome to work with Deborah over the last few months. I've only had a few training…read moresessions with her due to my crazy schedule, but those few sessions have been extremely helpful. Plus my puppy absolutely adored her! I enjoyed her positive approach and how she was super knowledgeable. You can just tell she really loves her job and cares about helping people. I had previously been having issues getting my puppy into obedience classes and was actually asked to leave a group class once because my puppy was too aggressive with others. Deborah taught me the skills to get on my dog's level and find a way to help her be more behaved and overall strengthen our relationship. We worked on many things, everything from jumping, to sitting and waiting for food, and she even helped me take my dog on a walk to work on leash pulling. One of the best parts about Patient Pawz I feel is that Deborah not only lives up to the name by being patient with puppies, she is also extremely patient with owners and really does work to find a time that fits with your schedule as well.

I only have wonderful things to say about the support that I have received from HSSW Behavioral &…read moreTraining Center. Cierra Whitcomb, who is an expert in her field, has coached me through some really tough times with my sweet, yet very 'special' girl "Suki." Who was found roaming the streets of Vancouver, WA for who knows how long. She suffered from a strong case of FEAR AGGRESSION and possibly other issues of abuse but do not know her history as she was abandoned and a stray. She was only 18 mos old and a mere 50lbs and pregnant when they found her. The poor thing was afraid of everything and needed serious rehabilitation. We were offered some help from HSSW Training Center and met Cierra, our trainer. At the time, I thought we were just getting some general training lessons, sit, stay, down, shake, you know the basics, how wrong I was. This center truly cares about DOGS, they were there to support me and help her to be the best dog she could be and stay in her forever home. Cierra became our mental therapist as well as physical training expert. For the next 4 months we worked hard, it wasn't an easy job for Cierra as we were a handful. Suki, the misunderstood problem child and me the neurotic new Mommy, who knew little about dogs and really nothing about German Shepards, the breed. Their high prey drive, or strong reactivity, we needed more than help, we needed a professional expert in the field and that, Cierra was. I listened intently to her recommendations and the more I followed her advice and practiced what I'd learned the better things got and the more Suki listened and improved. Suki now walks on a loose leash, heels when told, goes straight into a sit w/o being told and tries her best to focus and "leave it." Then the biggest improvement of all, after 4 months of isolating my cat and keeping them separated, by door, then baby gates and finally in person with gentle introductions, Suki now loves her brother "the Puss" they play together, sleep together and groom each other. It is nothing short of a miracle! So, with lots of support and guidance from this wonderful Behavioral Training Center and Cierra specifically, we have come full circle. Suki, who was a very scared, reactive, fear AGGRESSIVE dog, now walks without pulling me all over the place, who knows and implements verbal commands on demand, who now appreciates and loves (well...likes) her cat brother. She has found her confidence to enjoy a happy dog life, without fear and anxiety. What was once considered a potentially a non adoptable dog just 5 short months ago, is now a happy, well adjusted, loving member of our family, (Mommy, Suki & Puss) THANK YOU! HSSW Behavioral and Training Center and especially, Cierra Whitcomb, we couldn't have done it without you.

The most well behaved and mellow companion you could hope for. Our beautiful dog; Boom was 2 years old and had reached the (protect mommy stage) she wanted to fight any dog in my vicinity- if they threatened me or not We were told that our dog was beyond help, they would not even allow her into any sort of training. After hearing that, we were devastated, thinking we were never going to have a dog we could take to the Farmers Market or to any other event, never have a well socialized dog. When we asked Carmen to step in...she asked to come to our Home to evaluate Boom. No charge!! AMAZING!! Who comes to your home like that?!?! She obviously cared! She came and spent time with our dog and after her evaluation, told us that Boom was not unusual, she just needed "lead aggressive" training....she was right. Once a week for 6 weeks, we took the classes and conquered our girl's aggression. Although it has been 6 years, the amazing effects are lasting. Carmen is the leader is training!! PLEASE: You cannot give up on your dog, they can change.... Carmen will help you to help your dog. She is kind of tough but dang, she is GOOD! Go see her, let her help.

We have a dog that needs to be constantly challenged, so we have done a combination of behavior classes and "fun" classes (agility/tricks) and all have been great experiences.

So that was an easy pick. The day came & when we got there of course our 5 month old puppy got excited & peed on the floor & then peed again once she got petted. Even though we were embarrassed, to them it was no big deal. We got asked if we wanted a clean up, short, or fluffy. Being that this was our first time, we had no idea & just went with short as it's still hot here. We got a text a few hours later that she was ready. She looked like a completely different dog, short like we wanted but still cute. They did a great job & they got the areas that were very long. Every dog that gets groomed there also gets their photo taken in front of a backdrop that changes monthly. I thought that that was such a cute idea. We'll be coming back here for her next grooming
