Kristin changed my big dog 117 pounds St Weiler. He had a very fearful and aggressive side when he was puppy. Could not socialize outside family. She was able to break his bad behavior and today he is very loving guy. Thank you again Kristin#kristithetrainer

We specialize in immersive Board & Train programs that create real transformation for dogs and their families — whether you're raising a new puppy, struggling with reactivity, or just tired of repeating commands your dog ignores.
Our mission is simple: provide honest, effective, and lasting dog training that prioritizes the wellbeing of both the dog and the owner. We combine balanced training methods with clear communication and a structured environment so that dogs learn how to behave confidently in the real world — not just the training yard.

The Middle Paw was founded by a team of experienced trainers who came together after years of working in the industry — driven by a shared belief in doing things the right way. We're not here to sell hype. We're here to help dogs and their people build a better life together.See more
