Training Testimonials
Brie and I wanted to thank you for all of the time that you spent with US to achieve our training goals. We Just moved and Brie needed to learn to cope with the new home and spending time alone during the day. My biggest issue with Brie was Separation Anxiety. It broke my heart to leave her at home while I was at work, but you helped Us get though every step and was extremely patient, positive, supportive and informative. Separation Anxiety is a very difficult thing to deal with in a dog and it can be exhausting and push you to the limit. But if you find someone as great as Hope and follow the plan, You will get your life back.
I highly recommend her Services, with much appreciation.
Hope is helping me train my new Yorkie pup, Chewie, and we couldn’t be happier! Chewie is catching on very fast thanks to the simple techniques
that Hope has shown us. In just two sessions, he knows how to sit, give Paw, do “down”, go to his bed on command, pay attention, touch my hand
on command, and now he’s learning to go to the kitchen behind his gate then someone is at the door and to stop barking on command! Hope uses
positive and calming training techniques and individualizes classes to you and your dog’s needs. Chewie is a shy boy, but he’s come out of his shell quite a bit since we got him thanks to the techniques that we’ve
learned from Hope! Hope is also helping us wee wee pad train Chewie, which is a godsend! He’s catching on fast! We’ll also be sending Chewie
to Hope’s place for “Tiny Tots Boarding” while we’re on vacation next month. I can rest assured that Chewie will be pampered and having tons of fun with Hope and her pack at Tiny Tots! 5 STARS!!!
Hope also does pick ups and drop offs in Brooklyn at the moment for boarding and will travel to your home for training sessions!
She also provides doggie day care for those of you who live close enough to drop off your pooch!
Thank you so much Hope
My Dog, Maxie and I couldn’t be happier with Hope Garlick. Our sessions with her were great! Maxie picked up the commands so quickly, especially not having much training. People on the street acknowledge the obedience she has. The training techniques were so easy for me to learn and teach to my little Maxie compatible for every day living. Hope is “Exceptional!” in just 3 sessions Maxie was listening to my commands, no tugging or pulling when I would take her on her walks. My little Maxie, a Boxer, who just turned 2, is now a well-trained, happy young lady! Thank you Hope for your time, training and guidance; I would recommend Little Paws of Hope to anyone whose needs to set there dog up for success!
I’m really happy about your training with my lovely Charlie, ’cause he has changed his behavior a lot. Of course he’s still hyper, but I love him, anyways…!!! I hold his behavior ’cause he is still a puppy. After all, I really appreciate your help. The most important thing is that everything that he learned has improved the life quality at home. On the other hand, I would like to ask your service for a future needs.
Here we are with our 1 year old Jack Russell. His owner disappeared after we said we would dog sit. None the less we didn’t know what we were getting into or how he was raised in his first 6 months of life. All we knew is that people were scared to get on the elevator with him. He would growl and bear his teeth. He would go into his own zone of ferocious. We new it wasn’t him it was us. We needed help quick!!
We got ourselves a trainer the owner of Paws of Hope, Hope Garlick. She taught us that we needed to have Bonkers focus on us. He needed to earn his treats. We needed to be aware of our surroundings while we were with him. We needed to help him blow off energy in order for him to be calm. Our trainer let us know that he is lacking confidence and is scared causing him to lash out the way he did. We are happy to say we have gotten compliments on the elevator on his behavior. He no longer feels threatened. We are able to walk him and because of our awareness we are able to get his focus. So nothing else matters. We’ve been able to have him around family, friends and children.
Hope helped us to make the change. We realize that consistency is the key and everyone in the house needs to adhere to the rules on how to treat him. Thank you paws of hope for teaching us positive reinforcement and being able to have a happier home for Bonkers. We work everyday to help him be a confident dog. ![]()
