I have been going to Rocking Paw for both training and boarding for years. I’ve put 3 dogs through several obedience classes there. Jolynn and all of the trainers (Georgann, Zach, & Viktoria) are all amazing and so helpful!! Jolynn has also provided so much help with various dog sports offered in the area. I have built better relationships with my dogs through these trainings and sport opportunities. I’m thankful to have met Jolynn and will continue to use Rocking Paw for training and boarding!
Rocking Paw is the best training facility in the Lubbock area. Jolynn and Zac both love the animals. I have boarded my dog for board and train there for two weeks. She was like a different dog, very well behaved and obedient.
I have taken several classes with Rocking Paw Training & Kennel Suites. I have received excellent service and advise from the owner. She is a professional trainer, she is kind and she loves each dog that comes through her door. I have kenneled my fur babies with her, my dog were so happy to spend their time with her. They received the best care while there. My older dog had diabetic, she gave the shots and took really good care of my baby! The pups got play time and lots of snuggles. When I picked my babies up, they were so happy and didn't want to leave. I love the services, training and care she provides. She is the best trainer I have ever met. I have trained my older dog with a group that was horrible and I am so thankful for Rocking Paw for the positive training that she provides. It is always positive training, never any negative training or words or actions to your dogs from the trainer or YOU! I love this about Rocking Paw! If you need a trainer for you and your baby, I would highly recommend Rocking Paw!! I tell everyone that has a fur baby about Rocking Paw! If you haven't been there, you should go and enjoy the experience.
We have taken our girls to Rocking Paw since they were puppies! The owner, Jolynn, is a spectacular trainer who takes extra care to work with you on individual issues that your puppies have so that you get the most out of her classes. She makes herself readily available for questions and advice even when classes have ended. Her kennels are huge and the dogs are constantly getting attention while you are out of town. She also gives back to the community through volunteering at local schools and hospitals, which says a lot about her character. We LOVE Rocking Paw and would highly recommend it!
