I have nothing but great things to say about Paw by Paw dog training. I spent 6+ months looking for the right dog training facility for my dog and they are it! My dog Bubba and I did the individual lessons with Rowan and he took the time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted to work on and also to let me know what he saw in my dog. Week after week he kept showing me that my dog had even more potential than what I saw in him and he has grown so much because of it. I am grateful for how much patience he showed and the time he took to make sure that Bubba was ready to graduate. I cannot recommend this place enough and will definitely be returning for more classes.

I absolutely loved Paw by Paw. Though I grew up with dogs, this is my first time owning one on my own. I knew I needed guidance for training her. PbP was incredible from the first consultation to the end.1. Staff - The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It feels like a family/community there which made going very welcoming and comfortable. Great service and training all around.2. Training - Honestly, I was blown away by the training. The focus is not only to train the dog, but you as the owner as well. I learned how to properly make corrections on her behavior -jumping, pulling on the leash, etc. My trainer, Rowan, switched me to a different collar that made a world of difference with walking my dog. Impulse control was another issue my dog Bella struggled with and with Rowan's guidance, Bella has improved in this regard. For example, she can stay in "place" for 2 hours which I never thought she would be able to do.3. It is worth it- There are payment plans which make it affordable and unlimited group classes forever? Absolutely. I will definitely be partaking.I very much enjoyed being able to ask Rowan (highly recommend) various questions about training - goals, techniques, opinions- which was really helpful to me as I continue to work with Bella on my own.

We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience we've had with Paw by Paw Training, particularly with our trainer, Rowan. From the moment we walked in with our pitbull, Petunia, we knew we were in good hands.Petunia had been struggling with aggression towards other dogs, which made walks and outings a stressful experience for us. However, Rowan's expertise and dedication shone through as he tailored a training program specifically for Petunia's needs.Rowan's approach was not only effective but also compassionate. He took the time to understand Petunia's behavior and patiently guided us through various techniques to help her overcome her aggression and general stubbornness. His knowledge of dog behavior and training methods was evident, and he provided us with invaluable insights into better understanding and communicating with Petunia.Thanks to Rowan's guidance and support, Petunia has made tremendous progress. She's now more relaxed and confident around other dogs, and walks have become enjoyable bonding experiences for us all.Moreover, Rowan didn't just focus on training Petunia—he also empowered us as dog handlers. He taught us practical skills and strategies to reinforce positive behavior and maintain consistency in our interactions with Petunia.Overall, our experience with Paw by Paw Training and Rowan has been nothing short of amazing. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking professional and compassionate dog training services. Thank you, Rowan, for helping us become better dog owners and for transforming Petunia's behavior for the better!

I have been working with Rowan for months and have seen such an improvement with both of my dogs. He is always excited to see them and addresses any concerns I have about their behavior. I have loved the individual attention for my dogs, and one recently started with group lessons. She has done better than I expected and it's all thanks to the great trainers.

Jack and I had a great experience with Madison at Paws by Paws Dog Training. She was very attentive and was great at training me so I could help Jack be a better dog. Other trainers were also very helpful in making suggestions especially around Jack's reactivity. Jack successfully graduated from one on one classes and is now ready to attend group classes. Thank you to everyone at Paws to Paws.

We put Barfi in training in November 2023. By the end of the year, she was already acing place training, getting better with no-pull leash walking, waiting and so many other commands. We are absolutely overjoyed at how far Barfi has come and can't thank Paw by Paw enough for this. Special kudos to Joanna for being so patient with Barfi. Behavior training makes such a difference and we are so glad we trusted Paw by Paw with our pup.

We are so grateful to Cameron and Rowan at Paw by Paw. They were incredibly patient and knowledgeable and were instrumental in completely changing the temperament of our dog to more easy going and playful from much more reactive. Our family is so much happier but even more importantly in this case our dog is visibly happier and cheerful. Thank you so much! We are so grateful for all of your hard work with him and with us!

I can't say enough good things about Paw by Paw!! Our girl Mocha was honestly a nightmare. We were at our wits end with her and were terrified of her behavior. She was absolutely impossible to walk or take ANYWHERE. She'd lunge at every dog she would see with total intent on killing it. Her fear aggression was extremely dangerous and we truly thought she was going to have to be put to sleep. After a few months of training with Paw by Paw, we were given the tools needed to completely turn her around. They went above and beyond to help save her because they saw exactly what we saw in her. She could be an amazing, loving, playful dog, she just needed a little extra help. And now, she not only has more confidence and obedience, but we have a lot more faith and trust in her. We couldn't be more grateful for everything they've done and continue to do for our family ❤️And a huge shout out to her trainer/best friend Rowan, for really being there for us every step of the way DAY and NIGHT. We wouldn't have gotten her here today without you. You're a true blessing.

We enrolled our 6 month old puppy, Gerty, into doggie day care as soon as we heard about Paw by Paw. Our dog is now almost 2 years old and we still enjoy taking her to group classes for group classes consistently! We didn’t have the time to train her at home so we felt Doggie Day Care would be the best option for her to get the most out of training while she was young. We live in downtown Bethesda and it was very important for us that she learn the basic commands like wait, let’s go, sit, down, and come so that she was safe walking near lots of strangers and cars. Paw by Paw did an incredible job teaching her these core commands and we use them every single day, they are second nature to her now and it gives me a peace of mind to know she is safer because of it. We also enjoy the unlimited group classes as refreshers and she loves the agility course! David and the training team are truly experts, they are so kind and welcoming; we highly recommend Paw by Paw!

We had such a good experience at Paw by Paw! Our dog Mr. Bear needed basic obedience training as well as behavior modification for his reactivity towards other dogs. The trainer Rowan was fantastic: knowledgeable, clear, and patient! Although the upfront price tag was big, it was well worth it; we received unlimited 1:1 classes and unlimited group classes. Now, after lots of hard work (yes, you really have to practice at home), we've seen such huge progress with Mr. Bear. He just "graduated" and we've started to get compliments on his behavior when we walk him in the neighborhood. Thank you again, Paw by Paw team!!

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our trainer Cameron is excellent! He is training my puppy Pebbles a.k.a devil dog how to be a little lady with self control! He's very patient, calm and explains everything so that I understand why we are working on what each session.At 1st I was skeptical but now I see each lesson feeds into the next like building blocks creating a solid foundation. Cameron is teaching me the tools I need to know to insure I have a well behaved dog.Kudos to Cameron the best trainer!, Chrissy who provides GREAT customer service and the owner Melissa for putting together such a great team!

Our golden retriever, Cooper, attended the Doggie Day School with the best trainers we have ever worked with. They evaluated him and provided tailored training with constructive feedback on how, as owners, the learning could be consistent when continued at home. Everyone, and I mean everyone, was professional and cared about Cooper and us. We are continuing with group classes and look forward to each time we work with Paw by Paw. Many thanks to Cameron, Rowan and Alissa our trainers!! They are simply the best.

I brought my 2 dogs here for doggy day school, self wash station, and the group classes. My family and my dogs enjoy coming here. We are thankful to the Paw by Paw family. My family is especially grateful to Rowan, Cam, and Joanna for helping us get our dogs to where they are now, which is by far a better place. My dogs were stubborn, hyper, and loving. We were told by a different training facility that one of my dogs couldn't be trained and were told that we should rehome them. Paw by paw evaluated them before making any rush judgment and accepted them with open arms. Now they are more responsive, obedient, energetic, and still so loving. The trainers worked with us and were very transparent. It was a great partnership and very eye opening. My family and I learned alongside my dogs and its been an amazing experience.
