Real behavior change is about CHANGING EMOTIONS, not teaching obedience.
If you want to change behavior you have to change how your dog FEELS.
Sherry is a certified Family Dog Mediator, Pooch Parenting Partner, and has completed the Aggression in Dogs Master Course. She is a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants.
Sometimes our dog is showing signs of fear, aggression or trauma. We are not using tools or methods that cause pain or intimidation to your dog to change these behaviors. We are using science-based, positive reinforcement, humane and welfare-based practices to care for your family and your dog.
Paws for Success is here to help.

Behavior is communication
What is your dog trying to tell you?
I just had to send a shout out to Sherry Steinlein and Paws for Success (her company) for her amazing training techniques for both our chihuahua Archie for the past two years and our new golden retriever puppy Maggie. Her strategies are spot on and in a multi-dog family, finding the right trainer is key.
