Dog Training Services with Paws & Frolic Academy

Reward-based, real-world training tailored to your dog, your goals, and your lifestyle.

Your Path to Calm Home Alone Time Starts Here

At Paws & Frolic Academy, we believe every journey begins with understanding and connection. Your path to freedom from separation anxiety starts with our free Separation Anxiety Solutions Call. This relaxed, no-pressure conversation is where we get to know you and your dog, understand your challenges, and explore how our compassionate, personalized approach can help.

From there, we’ll guide you through our Separation Anxiety Success Series, starting with a 1-hour session to assess your dog’s unique needs and create a tailored action plan. We’ll work together step by step, providing the tools, support, and encouragement you need to help your dog find calm—and for you to regain peace of mind.

Every month, you’ll get a customized training plan, weekly support, feedback on your sessions, & practical help with management, enrichment, and home setup.

This program works because you’re not just handed a plan and wished good luck. You & your dog are supported every step of the way. You’ll learn your dog’s exact alone-time threshold, complete daily training exercises that Maddi sends via app, have a video check-in every 2 weeks, & celebrate even the tiniest wins. With ethical, evidence-based training & a coach who understands the emotional weight of separation anxiety, you & your dog can finally move toward calm, confidence, and more freedom for both of you.

Dog Walking Services

Need a break in your busy day or a little extra help keeping your pup active? Our dog walking and private Sniffari adventures are the perfect solution.
