Yooper Paws of Love has changed the way I view dog training. Yes your dog gets training but you also learn about how they think too. I think a big part of it is also people training too. Since I have been with Yooper Paws It has been an eye opener for me and my wife Amber also it has been great for our dogs too. We understand their needs and ways better now. Penny Beeman is an Awesome dog trainer or as I tell her people trainer. 5 star rating from me.
