At Pauquette Paws, we are committed to creating a fear-free environment for both dogs and their owners. Our owner and operator, Paige Mason, believes in using positive reinforcement and force-free training methods to ensure that every dog feels safe, supported, and respected.

Paige completed her professional education through Animal Behavior College, with an internship at Teacher’s Pet Training Academy, and is Fear Free Certified — meaning she has specialized training in recognizing and reducing fear, anxiety, and stress in pets. Every interaction is carefully designed to help dogs build confidence and feel comfortable.

At Pauquette Paws, dogs are thoughtfully separated into groups based on their age, weight, height, and energy level to encourage safe, appropriate, and happy play. Groups are closely supervised by staff who are trained in reading canine body language, allowing us to proactively support positive experiences.

Beyond just socialization, Paige believes daycare should also be a place where dogs continue to work on their basic obedience skills and engage in enrichment activities that challenge their minds and build confidence. Whether it’s practicing polite door manners, building trust through confidence exercises, or introducing new experiences through enrichment, every day at Pauquette Paws is designed to help your dog grow — not just play.

At Pauquette Paws, your dog’s emotional, physical, and behavioral well-being are always at the heart of everything we do. 🐾💛
