♥️

We are a FOR-PROFIT business, and while our doors are open to the public through training, school, and other services, there is an impact you may not see.

Behind the scenes are 27 underdogs who call our kennels home. Who call Kait their Mom. A team who loves them endlessly. This has been many years of protecting the ones we know are truly misunderstood in an industry where it’s easy to be misplaced or judged…

These dogs have behavioral and emotional needs that make traditional companion homes unsafe or unrealistic for them. Luckily, they found their way to us — a place where they are understood, supported, and safe.

We are committed to giving them the best, most comfortable life possible. That means continuing to build their confidence, meet their individual needs, and provide the everyday care they deserve.

Every time you choose our training, school, or other services, you are helping provide beds, cots, blankets, toys, treats, food, enrichment, and daily care for our pack.

We’re excited to introduce new options that will continue to help these dogs live happy, comfortable lives. But first, we want to say thank you.

Thank you to our clients, family, friends, and supporters.
Thank you for choosing our services.
Thank you for your donations.
And thank you for always extending a helping hand.

When you support us, you support them.

Thank you for helping us keep our pack safe, cared for, and comfortable. ❤️🐾

Respectfully we are NOT in - taking any dogs. Our pack deserves to live out their lives in comfort and complete happiness. Please do not contact us to surrender your dogs. This is just us telling our story and are excited to introduce each dog to you all. Their stories are truly beautiful. 🥹

Magical moments 💫

Remember Draven?! Here’s what his trainer Emma LeBlanc had to say about their 10 weeks together!!🙏

Drae and his family came to Personal Paws frustrated, discouraged and defeated after working with a trainer who said they couldn’t help him because he wasn’t food motivated in their sessions. They said he was a “tough dog,” and that they should accept the fact that Drae would have to live in a “bubble” because of his reactivity. It became clear that they needed a healthy reset, so they committed to a 10 week Rehab Retreat. Reactivity is often a dirty word, but the reality is, the behaviors on display were due to insecurity, lack of confidence, exposure, consistent structure, leadership, clarity and trust. We took our time together, building a relationship at Draven’s pace, and focused on helping him to be confident, learn to self regulate, and look for leadership instead of letting his emotions take the wheel. Watching him change his mindset, open up and bloom into a joyful, fear-free, curious individual was such a beautiful and rewarding process for the both of us. I am extremely proud of the progress Draven made in our program, and am excited to continue working closely with his family to ensure their relationships and handling skills mirror the consistent expectations he thrived in under our care.

Proud post. ❤️

A small world within the woods we find,
where time grows soft and slips the mind.
The hush of trees, the scent of pine,
your steady steps in sync with mine.

Through winding paths and golden light,
we wander deep.
No need for more than this we share—
just earth, and sky, and open air.

In every leaf and breeze that stirs,
a quiet little world is ours.

Social responsibility with your dog in public means training them to be calm, well-behaved, and responsive to commands. This helps keep them safe, prevents disruptions, and ensures a positive experience for everyone in shared spaces. 🦮
