If you're looking to pursue a career in dog training this is the place you want to be! Sarah and Richard (the instructors) are not only passionate about what they do, but their knowledge of dogs and their behaviors are abundant. They teach you how to train dogs using positive reinforcement. They're thorough, easy to understand, and patient. Very hands-on and so much fun! More...

Wonderful people! Our dog gets super excited when we go to drop her off there. Videos show how much fun she and the other animals are having. They aren’t left in a crate all day. The staff plays with them and lets the dogs play together. They do separate the big from the small which is wonderful. Can’t recommend this place enough. More...

I bring my dog to daycare and board her. She loves it there. The staff is great! They worked to find the best group for her to socialize with. We also did the first obedience class. It was very good and helped so much. More...

We've taken our two Labs to a number of boarding facilities when we've gone on trips, and they've come back extremely thirsty, achy, or subdued. As a result we looked for another facility. Then we discovered Pleasant Paws in Snellville. Max and Charlie come back perky, happy, and in really good shape--nice and clean after their "come home" bath, too. When we take them back to Pleasant Paws, they light up and are ready to go play! We feel really good about the care they're receiving at Pleasant Paws. Five Stars! More...

Sarah and Richard are wonderful teachers! The program was so thorough, from the hands on practical application to the curriculum. I felt every aspect of basic obedience was covered as well as giving me all the tools I need to go out and start on my own. With their knowledge of canine behavior combined with their passion for positive reinforcement training they opened my eyes to a whole new relationship an owner can have with their dog, if you’re considering a career in dog training or expand your knowledge in the pet industry, I highly recommend Pleasant Paws Academy!

We just got a new puppy and the usual groomer was booked. I got on line and read the YELP reviews for Pleasant Paws. I don't have anything bad to say. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and she seemed to be very informed.  I called other places but did not like our phone conversations. The good thing is Pleasant Paws opens early so if you have to work they are there when you need them. They also provide boarding, this is also a plus. The price for the grooming was reasonable and my dog's coat was very soft when she returned home.I think I may use them for future grooming because they are pleasant to work with and when they do return calls.

Took wonderful care of my Yorkie. He's going blind and they said he did great and that he was a sweety. I didn't see any photos of him when I was gone and the next day they were posted and I could see he was having a good time. He's home now and passed out in his bed. Thanks so much!! More...

Boone was boarded for 10 days and I'm pretty sure that we missed him more than he missed us. He had too much love from Richard and Sarah during his board and train, and lots of attention at play time from Ben and the rest of the crew. He couldn't wait to go back. That's how we know he is in great hands. Thank you Paw's for taking such great care of Boone. More...

Ollie has been visiting since he was old enough to stand his ground and has loved every second of it! Nine months and 60 pounds later he still cries like a baby with excitement the second we round the corner on 78. Honestly, the excitement starts when I ask him in the morning, "you wanna see your friends today?" The staff truly love these pups as their own and ensure that they're having FUN all day. Pleasant Paws has played a vital role in Ollie's socialization, and it helps working families like ours give him the outlet an active puppy needs during the workweek�� More...

Going on a year now and I am still impressed with the attention Sophie gets while in daycare with PP. Sophie is still excited to show up in the morning and pays me no attention when I drop her off, she is just excited to get In the back and play with her friends. Another sign that she is having a blast is from the time I pick her up till the time we get home she is exhausted and sleeps which tells me she is playing her heart out all day. Thank you PP for giving my little girl a great place to hangout during the day. More...

I highly recommend Pleasant Paws to everyone looking for excellent care for their dogs. Over the past year, I have used almost every service offered for my goldendoodle and Abbey absolutely LOVES everyone who works at Pleasant Paws. We’ve had great success in individualized training classes taught by Sarah. Abbey started to go to daycare with a great group of playful dogs when she was 4 months old. This socialization has helped Abbey to have great temperament and love other dogs. I’ve never had to worry about Abbey when she is boarded, at daycare or being groomed at Pleasant Paws because I know she is in great hands and happy to be there with her besties! More...

Thor has been going to daycare one or two days a week for the last couple of months. It has brought him out of his shell and some timid ways that I was worried about as he was getting older. They took their time socializing him with the same level of dogs that were on his level until he was ready for the big dogs!�� now he drives me crazy wanting to go to daycare every time I go to the door. He absolutely loves it and they do a great job with him!!�� More...

Services

Basic obedience for dogs and puppies (basic, intermediate, advanced & off leash). Commands include; Sit, down, wait, place, leave it, drop, come and many others. We use 100% positive reinforcement techniques!

Though aggression can be a normal canine behavior, aggression is a complex, serious and dangerous behavior problem for dog owners. Expression of aggression may range from inhibited communication such as a warning growl, snarl or a snap and include, of course, severe uninhibited repetitive bites that may be quite injurious.

At Pleasant Paw's we can help you diagnose which type of aggression your dog is displaying specifically then teach you how to cope with that aggression using counter-conditioning techniques to change the dog's mind-set before the aggression can get escalated. We teach you how to be the "leader of the pack" and to recognize the warning signals and body posture so you are aware when your dog initially starts showing signs of bad behavior or aggression.

We give a 1 hour potty training class that will give you all the tools you need to effectively potty train your pup within a limited amount of time.
