“We were very pleased with the results from Gentle Persuasions. Our golden retriever, Fiona learned the basic commands in a praise–oriented manner. The homework makes it easy to install the behavior into your puppy. We will be back for future classes to make sure she continues to be a little lady. My husband, Fiona and I looked forward to the classes every week! We are delighted Gentle Persuasions is going to be training at a Muddy Paw since they are also our groomer of choice! What is better than having your puppy have fun at the place they will go to the spa in the future?” —Pauline B., New Milford, CT

Vaccinations

We always recommend making sure your dog is up to date with their vaccinations including kennel cough. Kennel cough is an airborne virus and is contracted dog to dog in an environment where there are many dogs near each other. It is also the law to have an updated rabies vaccination.
