About this business
Paws Forward Dog Training is a canine training company owned and led by Sarah McMurdo, IACP CTDI, a resident of Ontario, Canada. I am an experienced service and advanced obedience dog trainer with two decades of experience. I have successfully trained dogs of all types over the years. We have trained high-drive German Shepherds, high-energy Belgian Malinois, Poodles, Cockers, and Chihuahuas. Our Board and Train program is a bit like sending your dog to a luxury summer camp. We offer high-intensity training, physical workouts, and supervision in your own home. This program has a lengthy waiting list because we accept only a small number of dogs in it.
Reviews Summary
Sarah is a highly recommended dog trainer. Many pet owners who have sent their dogs to Paws Forward for training and boarding have experienced impressive transformations. One pet parent has said that they're very happy after seeing their dog's positive transformation. They especially appreciated how Sarah has helped their rescue dog overcome shyness, pull less on the leash, and learn important protective boundaries that keep their family members safe. I read another review in which a pet owner described their poodle as out of control. The owner had sought help from two other dog trainers without success before finding Sarah. After boarding and training their poodle, they can now comfortably have guests over without all the barking and excitement. The pet parent couldn't believe the positive changes their dog showed in an unexpected and stimulating environment like the one at Paws Forward. Sarah's training is gracious and profound. All the pet parents who have sent their dogs to Paws Forward have felt relief after fetching their pets. They believe that their pets have been taught a new code of manners. Moreover, the pet owners have been taught how to manage normal dog behaviors in this environment. He said that his dog was very different in a short time. He looks to him when walking, does not react to other pets, and doesn't bark. His general behavior has improved, and he is more relaxed. He describes this change as new and advises others to use this method. Sarah is caring and insightful trainer. Since her methods work for my poodle, I have recommended her to other people. I am very amazed and excited to see my dog's new behavior and recommend the trainer.
