Serving with Compassion and Commitment
About The Paws Relax 🐾
At The Paws Relax, we believe every dog deserves structure, understanding, and thoughtful care. Our focus is on training and boarding that supports real life — helping dogs and their families build calm, confident routines together.
We specialize in personalized dog training, from puppy foundations to behavior challenges and advanced obedience. Each program is tailored to your dog’s individual personality, learning style, and household needs, with an emphasis on clear communication, trust, and long-term results.
Our boarding services are offered exclusively to dogs who are currently training with us or have completed training. This allows us to maintain consistency, safety, and clear expectations while your dog is in our care. Dogs stay in secure kennel accommodations with structured routines, daily engagement, and individualized attention based on what they already know and practice with us.
With a deep understanding of canine behavior and a genuine commitment to both dogs and their people, The Paws Relax is more than a service — it’s a partnership. Let’s bring out the best in your dog, together.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Clients Are Saying
Shanna is an amazing sitter who I trust to watch and enrich my 3 month old puppy. She's very prompt about responding and is a great communicator about pick up and drop times. She is a certified dog trainer, so I know my dog is getting the best care. She asked me about what I want my dog to learn and what skills he already had. And then reinforced them! She had my dog toileting outside in a day or two. Shanna also went above and beyond in my mind when she got my puppy some edible chews because he was teething. I offered to pay, but she wouldnt here of it. Truly an amazing person who clearly just loves dogs. And my pup clearly agrees! I would say she is the top tier of any dog sitter I have ever had. This is definitely who you want to watch your dogs!

Shanna is absolutely wonderful and I couldn’t recommend her more to watch your fur baby!! Our girl, Gracie, was so loved, it made me feel comfortable leaving her knowing she was in such good hands. Shanna is great at sending pictures, videos and updates, and it was great to see our dog having such a wonderful time. She takes gorgeous photos of your pet! She also did a bit of grooming and training as well!! We are so lucky to have found her and will definitely be using her services in the future!
