"My experience with Taylor from Rhody Paws was exemplary. Taylor is expert in the field of dog training, which was evident from our initial consultation. She carried herself with professionalism and poise even as my dog was growling and barking at her! She has a strong understanding of the complex needs of a rescue dog. She listened intently to all my concerns and what I wished for as an expected outcome. Taking all that in, she developed a comprehensive behavior training plan that targeted my areas of concern. As our lessons progressed I saw my fearful dog who filled with anxiety transition into a calm and confident dog. Taylor brought out the best in her and showed me how I can do the same! She helped me strengthen my relationship with my dog, by showing me how to set boundaries and provide a loving positive reinforcement based synergy. More often than not, Taylor's training included encouraging me, especially when I was getting flustered and stuck on how to react. She was very patient and supportive. She also had new ways to differentiate her training methods when needed. Lila and I both looked forward to our training sessions with Taylor!"

"I just completed my initial 6-week training with Rhody Paws. Taylor was recommended by my vet. My dog Moo just turned 4 and has been developing what is called leash reactivity where he barks and growls at other dogs while we are walking with him on his leash, and he even lunges at moving vehicles from time to time. Otherwise, he is very friendly to other dogs when loose. Taylor has taught me the tools to get Moo to focus on me and not other dogs or vehicles. She listens and observes how Moo and I interact and sets the training goals accordingly for each session to set us up for success. Moo’s behavior has remarkably improved. I am able to walk with him with confidence. I am very grateful to Taylor, and highly recommend her to anyone! I look forward to working with Taylor in the future as the need arises."

"We reached out to Taylor for a consult regarding our 2.5 pandemic puppy, Wilson. Wilson was having difficulties remaining calm when we would have visitors, when deliveries would be made to our house or to our neighbors, and we needed some help on how to positively correct his behaviors. Taylor was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful from the initial consultation and through out each and every training we learned something new. Dog training is twofold, Taylor was really training us as well as training Wilson. By teaching us the “why” behind what we were doing, she made it so that we could work as a team to tackle some of the behaviors. We saw a definite improvement with Wilson at the end of our 8 session package and would definitely sign Wilson up for some additional training. We highly recommend Taylor at Rhody Paws and Wilson absolutely loved her, too!"

"A paws-itively amazing experience! Our one year old labradoodle was in need of some fine tuning, and Taylor delivered. From her initial consultation, where she took detailed notes of our behavioral concerns, to her consistent follow-through on training plans, we were impressed. Looking back, we should have signed-up for training when we brought our dog home; but like many, we ended up thinking, "this behavior isn't that bad...." Taylor helped us realize our dog's full potential and while helping to train him, she helped train us, too. I would recommend her services for anyone looking to develop a deeper relationship with their four-legged companion."

"We are so happy we chose Rhody Paws for our dog’s training. Taylor helped us help our anxious 3 yr old Shepherd/Border Collie mix be her best self. Taylor helped us learn clear and consistent techniques that allowed our dog to learn and play all at once. By keeping it simple, we were able to achieve our goals and know how to move forward to help our dog feel less anxious around new people and when confronted with old triggers. We recommend Rhody Paws as a great resource for anyone who wants to help their dog be their best self!"

"Taylor was a great trainer and provided a good experience for my first time dog training. She was easy to talk to, good at communicating, and provided flexibility when I needed it. She made sure I had a good grasp on everything we were doing, providing me tools to continue past my time with her. And her results are great, there is a noticeable positive change in my dog and how I interact with him and it’s brought me a lot of peace of mind."

I personally loved seeing them everyday. Taylor has that special touch when working with the dogs during training, it is always fun and positive. Kenzie and Rylee thank you very much for taking care of them. I would not hesitate to use your professional services in the future."

"We had such a wonderful training experience with Rhody Paws! Our 1 yo Border Collie just graduated from 8 weeks of private coaching with Taylor. From our initial consultation to our final session, Taylor was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all, an excellent trainer. She is patient, encouraging and really helped us to address some of the problem behaviors that we were struggling with. We are truly grateful for the foundations that Taylor has helped us to build with our pup."

"We had a great experience working with Taylor. She is very professional and is extremely knowledgeable in all things animal training. She really makes it a point to not only work with the animals but also the owners throughout the training. We have seen many improvements in our dog and her behavior since our training with Taylor. We are very fortunate to have been able to work with her!"

"We had the best experience with Taylor, as new dog owners we had no idea where to start when it came to training, we were so fortunate to have Taylor on our side. Every training session was not only fun but informative. We could see a difference in Ellie immediately. The skills we were taught were easy enough to bring into Ellie’s everyday routine! Another thing I loved about Taylor was we were always able to get in contact with her if we had questions or needed any tips or tricks. She will forever be our trainer!"
