Transforming Dogs, Enriching Lives – Real Tales from White Paws in Service Clients

“Yogi did his 30-day obedience training when he was 3 months old.  He did great and we are so happy with the results!

Since Yogi’s training, he is a very happy and obedient little dog.  We take him with us to most places we go, and he always behaves great!  He’s great around other people but he especially likes kids!”

“Argus (formerly Honcho) was the longest resident at the Waco Humane Society. He found himself on the euthanasia list multiple times, until the day Lexi and James intervened, picking him up to train and prepare him for his forever home. Under their care, Argus underwent the White Paws custom board and train program for 6 weeks, and it was around week 3 that we first crossed paths with him. Lexi and James proved invaluable when we decided to adopt.

They facilitated a meeting with Argus, and it was love at first sight. Providing us with one-on-one training sessions, they patiently answered all our questions and even equipped us with resources detailing their training methods, which we’ve since utilized to teach him numerous new tasks. 

Since bringing

“I met James and Lexi by chance at an event and started talking with Lexi about training and service dogs. My 10-year-old son has autism, and we had our 6-month-old puppy, Biscuit, with us. Lexi told me about deep pressure therapy and how dogs can help provide comfort and regulation. I took their card, not thinking much of it at the time, but over the next few weeks I kept noticing how calm and happy my son was with Biscuit. I prayed about it and eventually reached out to James and Lexi for more information.

It turned out they had one spot available. After evaluating Mason and Biscuit, they felt she would be a great fit. Biscuit stayed for an 8-week training program, and Lexi kept us updated with

“White Paws was amazing. They helped us every step of the way to help get my dog trained to be a service dog. They guided us through Training and the steps for registration. I cannot express enough that I truly recommend White Paws for all your dog Training needs. They absolutely are amazing and are with you every step of the way.”

“Our family got our sweet puppy when he was 8 weeks old.  We sent him to White Paws immediately for basic training.  He returned to us completely crate-trained and understanding/performing all basic commands.

Additionally, they worked with him to decrease his barking and jumping.  He returned a well-adjusted and obedient puppy.  James and Lexi have gone above and beyond in taking our puppy to his vet appointments to always being available to answer questions and provide advice when needed.  We highly recommend White Paws!”

“White Paws services have brought about an amazing change in our pup!

They not only taught her new skills but also provided us with science-based tools and training to help us create an environment where she would continue to learn and thrive.”

“We contacted White Paws because we were at our wits’ end with our dogs. We have one that is scared of everything and has high anxiety, and another that was rescued and had spent most of her life tied to a tree. Trying to get our dogs to listen to us was like wrangling cats, and we had needed help training them. White Paws was excellent and took the pair for four weeks and worked with them. We were updated on their progress frequently and were amazed at their progress.

Our dogs now understand simple commands and it has made our life with them much more enjoyable. Although we still have some work ahead of us, White Paws helped to instill a foundation for them that were able to build from. We couldn’t thank them enough for their hard work and the knowledge

“Our dogs Maybelle and Satchie got into a bad fight a while ago and literally couldn’t even be near each other without trying to attack each other.

We reached out to White Paws for help; they took Maybelle for a month and gave her plenty of structure and training to address the cause of the issue, and now we have both dogs back home together.

We can’t thank White Paws enough for their help, and highly recommend them to our family and friends!”

“Murphy came to our home very frightened and scared. The slightest raised voice would have him running for his crate. Murphy is more vocal and plays with the toys, and now is a real blanket dog. We love him. He plays well with his new brother.”
