We’ve been going to Prime Paw since we brought home our 8-week old ridgeback, Vida. We started with private classes with Dom before Vida was vaccinated, went to puppy socials, and then enrolled in Adolescent Academy. Great price and fantastic team all around — Vida graduated!

James and the whole Prime Paw family took care of our puppy during the height of the pandemic when she was unable to get all her vaccinations. Ruby has grown into a confident and wonderful companion. Very grateful for the support of the entire team.

My wife and I met Dominic at a puppy social at PetFood Express. After chatting with him about PrimePaw, we decided to send our puppy there for Puppy Pre-School, as the pickup/drop off times lined up with our work schedule. Our puppy loved going and learned a lot over the sessions.

This review is for personal dog training — Steph our trainer was great! We needed to teach our dog mat work for an upcoming flight and Steph was excellent at showing us how to work with our dog. The once-a-week schedule really worked well and the price felt very reasonable.

Consultation   

I just walked by Prime Paw and met James and Kyla — they made my puppy and me feel so welcomed and were absolutely wonderful in giving us a free behavioral consultation. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. Highly recommend stopping in!

  Daycare & Adventures 

I had a great experience with Prime Paw Puppy Day School. Staff and trainers were very friendly and always took extra time to answer questions before and after pickup and drop-off. My dog Roxanne really enjoyed making new dog friends!

  Daycare & Adventures 

We’ve been using Primepaw for several years. Nilu has been going to Off-Leash Adventures since she was around 6 months old. Her recall improved dramatically once she joined. She waits by the door every morning and lights up when they arrive to pick her up!

Long-Term Client  

So thankful we found Primepaw when adopting our puppy. We have been through the puppy training program, adolescent training program, and now regularly use the adventure/walking service. Our dog is now almost 2 years old and I recommend Primepaw to literally every dog owner I meet.

I have been working with James, David, Dom, Steve and others at PrimePaw for going on 5 years now and they are an AMAZING team. They are very attentive to the special needs of our dogs and have helped us tremendously. Their classes and daycare are top-notch!

Puppy Socials  

The puppy socials have been great for socialization, and Dom has been an awesome trainer for our puppy! Juju has been such a joy at socials — Dom absolutely loves working with her. We’re so happy to be part of the Primepaw family!
