Testimonials from real clients

Happy Dogs. Confident Humans.

Training is about more than obedience, it’s about understanding. Here’s what our clients have shared about their journey with Pawlorado.

Very knowledgeable
Sean is incredibly knowledgeable and empowering. His calm approach helped my English bulldog, Tater, make real progress with stranger-related challenges, and I feel so much more confident as an owner. Highly recommend!

Dramatic difference
Sean has been amazing to work with. His in-home training showed me exactly what to do, and it truly works. My dogs’ barking has improved dramatically, and I now understand why they react. I feel much more confident helping them stay calm.

Confident and calm
Sean was incredible with our three labs. They struggled with listening, barking, and leash pulling, but we’ve seen huge improvements in their focus and behavior. Walks are now enjoyable, and we feel confident managing all three together.

Sniffing Out the Details For You...

It depends on your goals, your consistency, your patience, and your dog’s ability to manage arousal, persist through learning, and adapt to pressure.


There is no universal timeline—only progress curves. Training can take anywhere from a structured 6-week class to several months, or in some cases one to two years, depending on the outcome you’re aiming for.

I have yet to meet a dog that is too old to learn. Training methods change with age and shifting variables, but no—your dog is not too old to train. 

Yes. I have extensive experience training service dogs, including diabetic alert dogs, mobility support dogs, PTSD support dogs, dogs assisting with behavioral health cases, and dogs trained to support children with special needs.

Getting an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is generally a simple process that requires a doctor’s note only.

While formal training isn’t legally required, a reasonable amount of training is strongly recommended, for everyone involved.
