Penelope, Black Labrador Mix (Rescue Dog)
"We have used Applause Your Paws in the past for in-home dog training, as we have a multi dog household of rescue dogs. After adding a black lab mix, Penelope, to our dog family we became very concerned because Penelope and one of our other dogs got into a really bad fight. Penelope has also shown aggression towards other dogs. I decided to enroll Penelope in the AYP 14-day bootcamp to treat her aggression issues with dogs. I just wanted to say how impressed I am with our trainer and what he was able to do in such a short period of time. We were very nervous to bring Penelope home and to have her around Zeus again after what happened. Once we had Penelope back home we began to integrate her with Zeus with a leash on, not allowing them on the couch, making them both stay in their place and it has been great. Zero incidents. I am looking forward to taking penelope to the group training classes that were included in her board and train program, but also working with Dee in the home. Now that Penelope has been rehabilitated, we need to integrate some of our other dogs and I am confident AYP has the experts to get it done after seeing the results first hand. If anyone is ever on the fence about enrolling their dog in a board and train please have them call me as a reference -- I am happy to share my experience with others. Thanks!"

"We reached out to Applause Your Paws, desperately seeking some behavior modification for our dogs (3). Without hesitation, AYP, serving only the Miami Dade area, sent one of their wonderful trainers to our home in Broward for a private sessions. Every one of the staff members I have ever had to speak with, takes the time to listen to our story and makes every effort to accommodate us. After the one private session with Camille (who is AWESOME), we purchased a 10 pack Day Camp, and have been alternating our dogs through the 10 days (yes, I'm making the drive from Broward to Miami, back to Broward for work then back to Miami to pick up, then back home to Broward.... but AYP has been beyond awesome thus far!). At the end of the day we receive a thorough report cards telling us how our dogs performed and behaved during their day. Our pups come home tired, happy, socialized, and slightly better behaved (they're stubborn little things and will take time). I love AYP and speak highly of them to everyone in search of a facility! I can't wait for them to expand to my area!"
