Our philosophy
Here at Team PawsCienda, we believe in a balanced, well rounded approach to training. We understand that your dog is important to you. We take great care in structuring your dog’s training around continuity, consistency and fairness. These 3 pillars will ensure that your dog is successful, happy and confident. Our methods are time tested with proven results. We do not use gimmicks that sound good but are inherently contrary to a dogs natural pack environment. At PawsCienda Training Ranch we strive to provide clear and effective communication skills that will make it possible for every dog to achieve lasting results. A well trained dog in a structured environment is a happier and healthier dog. This environment has proven to help promote a longer life by removing stress and insecurity.
