”I cannot say enough good things about Prime Paw. The trainers here are the best in the business. When I adopted my 8-month old rescue, she was not trained at all, and I took her there immediately for play groups and training classes. The staff is professional, very experienced and you can see their love and dedication to animals. James, David and Steve will give you a world of knowledge, suggestions, tips, tricks and resources. Highly recommend.”

“Hands down best experience I've had with a trainer. Took the time to listen, all material was easy to understand, and encouraged any progress we had made previous. Since this was my first dog I didn't really know where to start. I am happy and proud to report with the help of Prime Paw our pet isn't a pet but a behaved member of the family.”
— Melissa Lynn, San Francisco
”Could not recommend Prime Paw enough! We did a virtual training (We live in LA) with our 2 pups and it was such a great refresher! James and his team were available to answer questions and really guide us from afar! We now have 2 boys who love going for walks and are masters at loose leash walking and on leash recalls! Next stop, off leash recalls!”
