About Us

Welcome to ROCKPAW K9S, where expertise meets compassion in dog training. Founded by a family with over 25 years of combined experience, our passion lies in addressing challenges, aggression, and disobedience in dogs.

Our approach to obedience is grounded in natural methods, fostering understanding and cooperation between dogs and their owners. With years of experience, we've found that the most effective approach is an individualized, dog-by-dog method. Taking into consideration each dog's breed, past, and environment, we tailor our training to meet their unique needs.

Our Success Stories

  • “We had a very free-spirited doodle that we were struggling with training. Our dog, Oakley had four training sessions and we were pleased with the results. They showed us clear ways to work with our dog and we were able to see results rather quickly. We recommend ROCKPAW training.”

    - Helen White

  • “Our dog, Cooper, was having issues with listening and training. I saw my dog liked you and sensed your presence was non-threatening just by your body language. He seemed like he wanted to please you and that helped me know what I needed to do with my communication. We both learned a lot from you, thank you for getting us started on a good dog training program.”
