As a Certified Dog Trainer, Behavior Consultant, Licensed Family Dog Mediator and Puppy Specialist, I want to help you …

understand who your dog is and why they act the way they do. Dog training has evolved beyond teaching obedience and cues. It has to include giving our dog agency to choose what happens to them so they can make choices that build their confidence. If they can do that our relationship grows, they learn to make good choices that lead to a happier dog. It is only by gaining their trust that we can have a good relationship and truly help them with their struggles which mostly stem from not knowing how to behave in our human centric world.

I look forward to providing excellent customer service.

TESTIMONIALS

Willow Glen Paws Puppy School was just the training we needed for our little boxer. Rebecca was amazing to work with. She really listened, was supportive, and made training fun. Our puppy loved going there and we loved getting the updates and photos. We’ve definitely seen the results and highly recommend this school to others.

Rebecca helped us get off to right start with our new Goldendoodle puppy. I enjoyed working with Rebecca and was happy with how she helped us train and teach our family how to work with the puppy. We also used her for board and train while on vacation. She made us feel very good about leaving our puppy in very good caring hands.

Highly recommend. Rebecca takes a very positive & down to earth approach to dog training. She trains in her home, so our pup Annie learned in the same kind of environment she lives in – couches & kitchen counters & so on – and she gave us plenty of support to continue the training at home. I thought I pretty much knew the basics about puppies & dogs, but I learned so much from Rebecca!

“Rebecca is a godsend. She came to our house and went over everything we needed for our new puppy to make sure we started on the right paw. She is knowledgable about puppies and patient with thier owners. We are so happy we found her.”
