Trainer

My passion for dog training comes from the desire to create a powerful bond between humans and their canine companions. For me, it’s not just about teaching obedience, it’s about building trust, communication, and mutual respect. Whether it’s helping a pup master the basics or guiding a rescue dog through behavior challenges, I find joy in every step of the journey. Watching a dog gain confidence and seeing that tail wag with pride is the most rewarding part of what I do!

Hear from Fellow Pet Parents

Took my small dog for a play day. The facility is very clean and comfortable for pets. There was plenty of very attentive and helpful staff. Loved being able to watch him on camera. We will be back.

Kathy

I loved the daily report card and live feed. It helped me feel confident that our dog was safe and being cared for. I could tell how much the employees love animals so that really helped calm my nerves about boarding our dog for the first time!

Sarah

Pet paradise is amazing!! They care about the animals and they know you by name. My Ariel loves it there!! I love it and knowing that the staff cares so much about her puts my mind at ease. I love the cameras too. Watching Ariel play and how the staff are with all the animals is great!

Robin

I love taking my pups to doggie day camp. They take amazing care of my girls. Love doing the fur connected to get pics of my pups. They have different themes. I can schedule them for a bath and brush out if needed or grooming. Could not say enough about this place. Do your pet a favor and take them! Worth every single penny.

Lauren

This dog daycare/boarding was a terrific experience for me. I felt much more at ease leaving our dog in their care because they were incredibly responsive from the beginning, answering the phone promptly and taking the time to answer all of our questions without rushing me. All things considered, I felt secure and comfortable with their care, and i would unquestionably suggest them to anyone searching for a trustworthy and friendly location for their dog.

Ali

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I absolutely love this dog daycare! They are always reliable, friendly, and so accommodating. I especially love that the dogs get plenty of time to run around and play, and they even have the cutest little dog pools that they absolutely love!

Nixie was also amazing with my dogs when they went through training. She kept me updated throughout the entire process, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.

I also love how convenient it is to have grooming available right there. Being able to have daycare, training, and grooming all in one place makes everything so much easier!

The office staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. You can truly tell that everyone there genuinely cares about the dogs and wants to make sure they are happy, safe, and well taken care of. I highly recommend them! ❤️

Jessica

It’s a great place to bring your cute little ones! He comes home and goes straight to bed after having so much fun. He loves playing around the pool, and the employees are friendly, welcoming, and communicate very well. Highly recommend! Plus you can watch your pets on webcam when your away to see how they are doing and break times for food which other places don’t have usually. Will be a regular here. Great !!

Jinal

I signed up for the 28 day training with my lab beagle mix and Jessica did a wonderful job training him to manage his anxiety better and show him new tricks! Also super welcoming with all the lovely staff that made it easy for me and my pup!

Simone

We love Pet Paradise. Our dog is very energetic and the staff is so nice and patient with her. Most recently, we completed day training with Jackie and wow! She made so much progress and we needed the professional help us stay consistent with her. She is still following all the commands that she learned. Even when relatives came in town, she remained calm and didn’t jump on people like she would have before.

Leslie

This was the best kennel experience my pups have had! Normally it’s such a chore to board them, and then when we go to pick them up they are filthy and so stinky. This was not the case with pet paradise- my dogs came home exactly like they arrived, they seemed to really love the workers, the video feed was great as I worry about them the entire time we are gone. Overall 10/10 and we’ve found our new boarding facility! Such a bonus they offer military discount!
