Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s behavior, teach basic obedience skills, enhance communication with your dog, or establish strong behavioral foundations for your new puppy, our training services are designed to meet your needs!
Our training approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and relationship-based training to foster a well-rounded and balanced connection between you both. While part of our role is training your dog, the other equally important part is guiding you.
That’s why our training services involve active participation, a fresh perspective on your dog’s behavior and an openness to constructive feedback. This will ensure a relationship where your dog looks to you for guidance and leadership, strengthening a more cooperative bond.

Our fulfillment services are designed to enrich your dog's life with a combination of novelty, enrichment, and plenty of engaging exercise. By aligning your dog's lifestyle with their inherent biological and emotional needs, we can directly improve their overall health and happiness — and yours! Every dog needs a life filled with both mental and physical stimulation, customized to suit their unique breed and personality, and it takes a dedicated owner to make this happen. That’s why we’re wholeheartedly committed to helping both dogs and their owners unleash their full potential together, creating a joyful and thriving partnership!

Meet Sophia
Hi! My name is Sophia, the heart and soul of Pacific Paws!
Throughout my life, animals have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up surrounded by pets, I developed a deep passion for their well-being and the bonds they share with humans. My journey in pet care began with hands-on experience and grew into years of working with animals, including volunteering at rescue shelters in Portland, OR.
In 2019, I moved to Eugene to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Biological Anthropology at the University of Oregon, where I deepened my knowledge of animal behavior and social structures. After graduating in 2021, I committed to dog training and pet care full-time, earning my Certification in Dog Training Knowledge (CDTK).
Now, I’m thrilled to continue supporting dogs and their owners. My goal is to provide effective training that not only helps dogs succeed but also empowers owners to build strong, lasting relationships with their pets. I believe that with the right approach, every dog can become a happy, well-balanced companion, and I’m excited to be part of that journey!
