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!

We had a home visit with Felisha and she was very helpful. We have a 6 month old puppy and wanted someone to check out our specific home set up and how we all interacted. She arrived right on time and immediately set out to help us correct some things that were hampering our training. She was very good with our pup and included our young daughter in the training and gave her lots of advice on how to be a good pet owner. She made lots of great suggestions and then followed up with an email with potty training hints and a text with lots of good products she recommended. We’ll definitely have her back when we’re ready to tackle some advanced training

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. Dobro 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. Everyone 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!

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 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. Felisha 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. This 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!
