I cannot recommend AYP enough! We have two adult 9 1/2 yr old dogs who were not dog-friendly at all, and thanks to our trainer Felisha’s incredible patience and guidance, they now accept—and love—our two new pups every single day. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was absolutely worth it, and I’m so thankful we made this decision to keep all four of our dogs safe and happy together.\n\nFelisha was amazing during our private lessons, working with the big dogs to accept and interact with the pups. Then, in the group classes, trainers like Maggie and Alex helped the puppies learn obedience skills (and even some fun tricks!). Every trainer we worked with is knowledgeable, kind, and truly invested in our dogs’ success.\n\nThis has been the best money I’ve ever invested in our fur family. We are now living in harmony, and I couldn’t be more grateful!

My boy Duke and I have been struggling to manage his reactivity during on-leash walks. Luckily we found the amazing people at AYP and just after our first private session with Jonny at the facility I could tell they would make a huge positive difference in our training. We left Duke for about a week in their board and train program and Alex and the rest of the team did a wonderful job taking care of Duke. We really do appreciate their effort and all the knowledge they’ve given us to progress Dukes training. Highly recommend AYP, thanks again!

I’ve been taking my Aussie puppy, Dobro, to Applause Your Paws and we’ve had such a great experience! Dee has been an awesome instructor — she helped Dobro graduate from puppy class to Level 1, and he’s learned so much along the way.\n\nDobro also goes to day school, and I love how Clay, KT, Alex, and the rest of the trainers take the time to write detailed report cards after each session. It’s clear they really care about every dog and their progress.\n\nEveryone there is super friendly, knowledgeable, and patient — you can tell they love what they do. I’d definitely recommend Applause Your Paws to anyone who wants help training their fur baby!

We love AYP! Luna has been going to doggy day school since she was 4 months old! She’s a very high energy dog and has really benefitted from both the training and socialization at AYP. All the trainers are very attentive and patient with her and really tailor her training sessions to her needs. I love reading her reports and seeing videos of her training. And I love that she’s able to have new experiences there. She’s always so happy to get there and never wants to leave. Alex in the play yard is her favorite! Everyone on the team has been great and I’m grateful she has a place to go that she loves. She gets home tired and happy whenever she has school.

We just got a new puppy and have been going to the AYP puppy kindergarten class on Saturday mornings. What an incredible experience! All of the staff is super knowledgeable and very friendly. Dee is an exceptional human being. You can tell from the first few moments of meeting her how much she loves dogs and how knowledgeable she is. They even have a WhatsApp chat for questions. We have learned so much in just a few short weeks. I would recommend this place to anyone who is even thinking about getting a puppy. We can’t wait for class next week!
