“Sandy and Paws in Motion have been a life saver. We were fighting a losing battle with Otter our 6 month old German Wirehaired Pointer and I had started to believe it had been a mistake to get this puppy 4 months earlier. I’m not a first time dog owner and have always trained my own dogs, but logistics are different this time and I simply did not have the time or patience a very active, willful GWP puppy needs. Willful and stubborn with the attention span of a gnat this little guy never even slept outside his crate, no matter how tired he got he was in constant motion. I was so disheartened having planned for this puppy for two years. I finally decided something had to change, I started looking into daycare so at least he got more exercise. After meeting with Sandy we went forward with a plan to not just do day care but day-school. He has been going to PIM twice a week for a little over 5 months and now my 11 month old Otter is turning into a well socialized, well trained dog that I can enjoy and be proud of. At not yet a year old he still has his willful moments and I best not leave any food out for him to get a hold of but I see him turning into a dog that 6 months ago I would not have believed possible. Otter loves going to PIM and has gotten the dog to dog socialization that is so important for a young dog and that Covid had made impossible to do on my own. Otter also loves his lessons one on one with Sandy. She treats each dog and owner as individuals working toward what each needs and wants, never pushing a pre-established one size fits all program. Sandy keeps introducing new skills and challenges while reinforcing the basics he learned early on. I would not hesitate to recommend PIM to any dog and owner at any level of training.”
