❤️ Our Philosophy

We’re not just teaching dogs to obey—we’re teaching humans and dogs how to communicate, connect, and grow together.

Most traditional training is based on commands and compliance. At Yooper Paws, we believe in using love, play, and science-backed strategies to help dogs:

• Make thoughtful choices

• Seek support from their humans

• Stay safe, calm, and happy in their environment

Our goal is to help you become the teammate your dog needs—while having fun together along the way.

We encourage you to join as a free member and check out the content there first, then look at what you really need help with the most and how much time you can commit right now to help your dog. Then if you still are unsure of which membership is right for you, reach out to us for a FREE 15 min phone call where we can point you down the path that will help you the most based on your needs.

Support Yooper Paws

 

At Yooper Paws of Love, we believe every dog and human deserves a relationship built on trust, communication, and joy. We do our best to put out free and low cost resources to help dog owners regardless of their financial ability to pay. But that means we sometimes struggle to pay all the monthly fees we have to create and share resources.

You can help!

We now accept TIPS!

Any time you see something that you really like and decide you'd like to help support the creation of more great resources, you can send us a tip!

Support Yooper Paws

We appreciate the generosity of our followers who have helped cover costs for service dog training, medical care for foster dogs, and provided treats to be used at the Training Center. We would not be able to continue to support the community without your help!

Group Walk & Private Lesson Mini-Package for $200!

Our Group Walk Mini-Package includes 1 private session to ensure a proper harness longline set up and training on how to manage a long line, 1 private walk session with Belle or Azul to practice skills and 4 Group Walks to practice skills around other people and dogs. (Original Price $310)

Mini-Package Special costs $200 for 6 sessions total.

Group Walks are more than just walks! On each walk we will practice 1-3 new skills that help improve your leash manners and focus around distractions. Instead of working in a low distraction classroom setting, these classes take place in an outdoor learning environment so that you can practice skills in real life situations with other dogs who are participating in the same training vs trying to practice with KUJO who lives in your neighborhood and is always outside without a human.

Check out some of the lessons we learn on a group walk here.

The first private session can be scheduled at a time that works best for you.

Group Walks are taking place on Tuesday & Thursday nights at 6pm (weather permitting) and will move to 7pm when needed to beat the heat. Each week you can RSVP for the walk you able to attend, allowing for a more flexible summer schedule.

Classes & Private Sessions

All of our summer classes are currently running including the Pawsitively Puppy Class and FAD Adolescent Class for small dogs. We will soon be scheduling a Beginner Nosework Class for anyone interested in learning about searching for scent or tracking. Please reach out to us via our new email at dogtraining@yooperpaws.com If you are interested in taking Nosework Classes.

All other clients will be referred to Private Sessions at this time, starting with a full Behavior Evaluation Session. Get started here: First Session Info
