As our “Paw-tners”

Tailored Anxiety Program: A Collaborative Approach to Dog Adoption and Training

At Helping Paws, we understand that each dog’s journey is unique, especially for those with high anxiety. That’s why our Anxiety Program begins with a comprehensive assessment that includes collaboration with vets, breed-specific trainers, behavioral specialists, and professional evaluations like the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test.

Our multi-faceted approach ensures that we identify and address each dog's specific needs, creating a personalized training plan that supports the dog’s emotional well-being and your role as an adopter.

Our story

I started by contacting a breeder for a Blue Chow and ended up with an American Bully-Chow Chow mix named Blue. Blue Moon needs dedicated time and patience, and so do I. Together, Helping Paws was formed.
