Four Paws Inn — Local services in Chester

In short: Four Paws Inn has greatly improved life with our rescue dog. Sam is amazing-we can't recommend her services enough! (Read below for more detail)

The details: We came to Sam at Four Paws Inn, quite lost as it relates to training our rescue pup. Though we had experience raising and training other dogs, we never RESCUED before. Sam's knowledge has truly been invaluable to us as a family. Our dog was about 8 or 9 months when we rescued her so we had our work cut out for us. Even before we signed on the dotted line, Sam had a meet and greet with us, gave us some advice, and was available to answer any questions we had about the process and services provided. Since then we have been training with her 1-on-1. Sam is of course knowledgeable, she also makes it a priority to check in with you to see how you are progressing in-between sessions, and is able to adapt the training plan as needed. But perhaps most importantly, she genuinely cares how you and your dog are doing. Our dog has made huge progress, especially considering she was found as a stray and is a breed that is known to be stubborn. We are thrilled to continue working with Sam at...

Sam was recommended to us by Jersey Pits Rescue, who we adopted our two youngest pitties from. We have an 8 year old male, a two year old female, and a 9 month old female in our pack.

We are excited to build off of what we learned and highly recommend Sam and Four Paws Inn for anyone in need of training for...

We were referred to Sam when we brought home our rescue dog Bodie, who came to us with little to no training or manners. He is an Australian Shepard with an unlimited amount of energy as well as an alpha personality. Sam could not have been more helpful, carefully guiding us through how to navigate his breed and his personality. She was a wealth of knowledge and knew exactly how to get us on track. Fast forward a year and a half later and we have a well trained, far less reactive dog who is confident and content. From her training to her doggy daycamp, we know that our dog is not only well looked after, but is loved and trained every time he is in Four Paws care. We are eternally grateful to Sam and her amazing crew for helping train us to be a good leader to our...
