Why Choose Sandy Paws?
See what our clients are saying:
-Anabda D.
We love Sandy Paws Dog Training! After a phone consultation with Bryony we chose a private training package, and it was worth every penny. Our new puppy was a handful, but after just a couple sessions with Bryony (and lots of fun practice in between) our lives got so much better, including our pup’s
-Lisa B.
Bryony and Ellen are awesome! Training class was fun, informative and a great experience all around for both me and my puppy.
-Tricia G.
After weeks and weeks of looking online for a training class that not only fit my schedule but had amazing reviews. I had Ellen for 5 weeks to teach my black lab puppy, Jessie. She is absolutely amazing! She is very patient and so kind. Within 5 weeks Jessie has learned all the basics right in the comfort of our home.
-Autumn C.
My pup was nervous and tentative when she got into class, but by the second or third session she knew Bryony and Ellen and felt comfortable with both of them. She never got rough with my dog like some trainers can do. Definitely recommended!
-Suzanne H.
Bryony helped us tremendously with Sandy, who we adopted when she was 8 months old. By coming into our home and working with us one on one Bryony was able to give us some great pointers and helped us correct some unwanted behaviors!
-Christina P.
We found Bryony and Sandy Paws after experiencing some trouble with our new, incredibly anxious puppy. We had been to see a number of other trainers but Bryony was unique. She listened to my concerns, visited our home, and provided practical, totally manageable (for someone new to dog training like me!) steps and strategies. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her staff.
– Wendy K.
We are very thankful for the love and kindness that Sandy Paws has shown. They are dependable and…I highly recommend Sandy Paws.
-Christopher D.

-Gracie C
Bryony is so amazing with animals… and I give her the highest possible recommendation.
-Trisha Z.
I highly recommend Sandy Paws to other pet owners. Bryony truly loves animals and has a passion for what she does!
– Bryce B.
Sandy Paws has been unbelievably wonderful and has not only helped our dog stay fit and happy but also help with her leash aggression too! We would be lost without Sandy Paws and are so lucky to have found them!
-Charles L.
I thank my lucky stars that we found Sandy Paws.
