SouthPaw Training

Barbara has helped me to train 5 puppies over the past 3 years with outstanding results. My passion is German Shepherd dogs and they can be a challenge to say the least. Working with a knowledgeable, experienced trainer is essential when learning to bring out the best in your dog or puppy.
I had one puppy in particular, Rin, who came to me with dog aggression issues and Barbara has helped me to not only work on this issue, but has helped Rin to learn to be more comfortable with herself and with other dogs. Rin is now doing extremely well in rally obedience and I hope to be competing with her in the near future.
Barbara has decades of experience (with certifications is support her expertise) in training a variety of pure and mixed breed dogs in a vast array of both sport and working dog activities. She is confident and knows what to expect from the dogs she trains and knows how to teach owners to apply her techniques for optimum results.
Barbara is a rare find in that she has a true passion for training and helping people and their dogs to succeed. If one of her techniques does not work for a particular dog, she easily modifies her programs to find the correct mix for you and your dog/​puppy.
If I am ever crazy enough to get another puppy, you can bet Barbara will be the first person he/​she meets.
Thank you Barbara for all your help and I look forward to bringing home those medals and racking up those trophies! You are a treasure.
Deedee and the gang… Barex, Rin, Yevi, Annie, Raven and Falon!
