We’ve partnered with Doggyland!

Our Mission

Our mission at Paws for Love School for dogs is not only to train dogs, but to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome as many canine lives as possible; as of Summer 2022, we have rescued over 11,000 canines in need!

As the foremost canine behaviorists in the Northwest, Paws for Love School for Dogs specializes in aggression and fear-based issues in your dog. As we educate your dog, we also assist you in learning our proven techniques for continued training while your four-legged family member is at home!

With a gentle and loving touch, we guarantee to give you and your dog a lasting, formative experience focusing on positive motivation and positive reinforcement.

We all love our pets as much as we love our family, because once they enter our lives, they become part of our family! But just like with anyone else we love, sometimes we find ourselves struggling to communicate with them; that’s when you call Paws for Love School for Dogs to help you and your dog connect and develop a language of love, trust, and understanding.

To help determine you and your dog’s needs, we offer FREE consultations and temperament evaluations! (These services can last between 1-3 hours)
