I sent my River girl for the 2 week board and train. River is a good girl but has some puppy traits(jumping) and was hard to walk on leash. I was unable to find her motivation to do what I was asking. I can’t speak highly enough about everything River learned and her amazing behavior now. Her impulse control is so great, I don’t have anxiety about taking her places or having people over to my house. She is so well behaved and does so well with all of her commands, all while keeping her same joyful energy that makes her River. I cannot recommend Paws in Motion enough. I was taught everything and was sent home with written instructions so I could reinforce the training and teach any family and friends that she would be around. It has been the best thing for all of us!

Could not suggest a better place to train your dog! We are so ecstatic with the results! At just 10 months old our little lab has more freedom thanks to Christina! River Lee enjoyed everyday here she almost didn’t want to return home! Below are some photos of our recent trip to Applehill to test out some of her amazing new skills like posing for photos by herself and being in public settings with no reactions just pure joy!

We are so pleased with the outcome of our time with Christina, Tim, and Paws in Motion! After only being back from training a short time, we are seeing a more relaxed and confident dog. We can sleep through the night without getting pushed out of bed now because our dog sleeps and stays in her crate at night. Paws in Motion worked with us patiently to teach us how to better communicate with our dog. It’s only been a few weeks since our training program ended, and yet we’ve made so much progress. We are confident that by putting in the daily training and practicing we will continue to make great leaps in our dog’s behaviors. We can only imagine the great things ahead for our dog Honey. This experience has been life changing for all of us. We can’t say thank you enough for all the support and kindness!

I have taken my dog Benji to Christina at Paws in Motion 3 times so far. He has separation anxiety pretty severely . He loves staying there now . Last visit was for a month and he had a blast ! Christina sent me pictures regularly which calmed me a lot . I have never had more confidence in a boarding place . Benji loves Christina and her facility . He got his medications daily and his routine diet . I cannot recommend enough .
