My Storm had the best time training with Hector. Even as we pass by now he still gets excited thinking he’s off to go train. After completing his service dog training he’s like a new dog well behaved out in public, able to alert, and still has his silly personality!
I can’t say enough great things about Paws Down Best Dog Training! He did an incredible job training my daughter’s dog, Storm, in his service dog training. From the very beginning, he was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated, making sure Storm learned each skill with confidence. Storm has grown into such a well-behaved and reliable service dog he even goes into his crate by himself at bedtime now! The trainer always took the time to explain the process, answer every question, and make sure we fully understood how to continue reinforcing the training at home. You can tell he truly cares about the dogs he works with and treats them like his own. Storm’s progress has been life-changing for us, and we’re so grateful for everything he’s done. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for effective, compassionate, and professional dog training!
I first connected with Hector at the Upper Valley Farmers Market on Mesa after noticing him walking with his two German Shepherds. I approached him to inquire about training for my dog. He kindly shared his contact information, and that’s when the process began. I worked with Hector for approximately two months. During the first month, we focused on gathering the necessary documentation for my dog and coordinating a suitable drop-off schedule for training. Hector was courteous and professional throughout the process and demonstrated high respect and expertise. When it came time to drop off my dog, Hector sat down with me and thoroughly discussed the training plan, including the specific areas I wanted my dog to focus on. His approach was thoughtful and tailored to my needs and my dog’s temperament. I would highly recommend paws down Best training service to one
Hector truly has a way with animals. My Akita attended a semi-intense board and train with Hector and his team to stay ahead of any “unwanted” Akita tendencies as well as hone in certain skills that could make her a confident and kind girl in public. Hector and his team delivered. She is a confident dog in public and when her recall wasn’t perfect at the end of training Hector went out of his way to add additional training to ensure everything was just right. The individual sessions we attended after the board and train helped me to feel confident as a handler and reflect on things I can continue to do at home to ensure she stays confident and happy. I recommend Paws Down to my friends and clients for any training needs. Thank you again for everything!!
Hector at Paws Down Best Dog Training did an outstanding job with our sweet golden doodle, Penny. While Penny has always had a friendly, loving temperament and was well-behaved with us, she struggled with respecting people's space, often jumping and reacting excessively around new people. She also tended to bark quite a bit when anyone approached our home and lacked confidence with other dogs, becoming overly protective of her space and over-correcting other dogs. As we approach the final week of the Semi-Intense Board & Train sessions with Hector, Penny is still the same sweet pup we know, but her behavior has improved tremendously. We couldn't be more thrilled with the progress she’s made! We are incredibly grateful to Hector and his team for their care, patience, and expertise. They are truly amazing and deeply intuitive when it comes to understanding a dog’s needs. If we had any reservations about leaving Penny in a new environment with strangers, all doubts vanished after seeing how happy and excited she was to greet Hector on drop-off day, just one week into the training. We can't thank them enough!
