StonePaw Dog Training

We want training to be accessible for everyone, especially anyone with a puppy! Lessons are $45 for puppies under six months old at our facility or $65 at your location! For lessons at your location, there is a mileage fee. We offer discounts for educators and other pet professionals.

We start by setting up a consultation call to make sure we are the absolute best match for you and your dog. Then, you schedule when you would like to have your first lesson or drop off your dog!

Since 2016, Erin has worked with thousands of dogs and their families. She was head trainer at a board and train company. Working with many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and age ranges has given Erin the ability to help dogs with any issue!

Since he began training, Marco has attended several workshops, including: NePoPo® Theory, The Aggression in Dogs Conference, the Puppy Potential Workshop, Canine Con 2022, and Movement Markers Clinic by Maryna Ozuna (TM). Marco also ran DogWorld Dog Park, and was in charge of teaching new customers how to ensure their dog was safe and happy while playing with other dogs.

I began by fostering litters of puppies after we lost one of our dogs. The shyest pup had never been touched by a human, even though he was 14 weeks old! I began working with him, first just re-socializing him, then adding tricks, then adding obedience - now, he is a confident, sweet, obedient guy - I often use him to help train other dogs! From there, I began to work with every dog I could get my hands on. I eventually interned with a local trainer and worked my way up to head trainer at that facility. I pursued continuing education on my own, and in April 2021 left to work on DogWorld Dog Park and begin my own training business!
