Maggie

Paige is an excellent trainerwho works diligently to help your pet meet goals and expectations! Our goldendoodle came home much better prepared for having a newborn in the household. She is attentive to commands and much improved in numerous areas. I highly recommend Paige’s Canine Companions!

Charlie

Paige was so great to work with. She works hard to figure out what works best for each dog and we are very pleased with what Charlie learned while with her.

Blitzen

If anyone is looking for someone to train a dog, Paige is a very trustworthy trainer. She not only knows what she is doing but maybe just as important, she genuinely cares about your pet!!! She did wonders with our husky Blitzen! I would recommend her to anyone who wants a well mannered pet that will respond in every way to it’s owner! Thanks Paige. Blitzen says hi!

John Wooley


We couldn’t be happier. It was a big step for my husband at first 😋 but I convinced him and other than missing our boy, it was smooth sailing, and we are all so much better for our decision. Paige is awesome person to begin with and it just carries over into her attention with her students. Patient and soft-spoken yet stern, she molded our headstrong 10-month old Husky boy into an obedient and willing-to-listen pet that I can now walk without my arm being pulled out of socket. 😜 I give Paige 20 stars on a scale of 10. We appreciate you so much and Blitzen is always happy to see you.

Mollie

I can’t express how wonderful this experience was! Paige is a miracle worker! Mollie is so much calmer and so easy to enjoy. We always loved her but now we can enjoy our time with her instead of trying to correct her every few seconds. I recommend 100%!!

Libby

I must admit I was skeptical of how much our lab Libby would “settle” after training because she is hyper, hyper, hyper! We are amazed and very pleased with how much Paige has taught Libby. We do see the personality and energetic Libby, but she responds quickly to commands! We are very happy with how Paige chooses to board pups as she trains them. We appreciate her calm but firm manner with Libby and love how she incorporates training into her own everyday routines which makes what Libby learns so practical.

 Libby no longer jumps on furniture, she stays on place when someone enters the room, walks beside you without leash, comes quickly and downs when she is playing outside, hops in the backseat on command and rides quietly … and so much more. When you initially leave your pup, Paige is patient and takes plenty of time to explain the methods she uses to train. She is considerate in posting pictures and videos during training, contacts you if there is the slightest issue. When you pick up your pup after training, Paige takes a lot of time to train YOU in how to reinforce and use your pup’s new skills. She has been great about answering questions once we brought Libby home. A VERY wise investment for our family. We HIGHLY recommend Paige.

Bentley

Everyone who sees Bentley says he’s a different dog. We can take him places, meet neighbors with dogs and horses, eat meals in peace. Recent stay at vets office reports he the best little dog they’ve had! We love Paige!

Sam

We are absolutely thrilled with Paige and the hard work she put into training our Sam. We sent Paigean out of control, high energy lab and she sent home a well behaved, manageable guy. Not only is Paige extremely knowledgeable and an expert in her field, she is compassionate and keeps a calm demeanor throughout the training process (which had to be challenging with our wild Sam). Paige not only trained Sam, but she trained us as owners to be the leaders that our dog needs to continue his success in obedience. We could not be happier and have already recommended Paige’s services to many of our friends.

Winn Dixie

Paige did a great job training our dog “Winn Dixie”!!! This our second dog to be trained by Paige!! She also did a great job with Roxie! If anyone is wanting to get training for their dog, we would highly recommend Paige’s Canine Companions!!!

Watson

Paige did an awesome job with Watson. I had the MOST pleasant walk with Watson last night that we have ever had! He stayed with me at whatever pace I was walking, sat when we stopped and looked at me. I took him off the leash when we got near our yard and used the With Me command and he walked with me in the house and sat down to look for my approval. What a wonderful Christmas Present for my family! Thank you so much Paige!😀

Benny

Paige was amazing! She took our barely 6 month old GSD who loved to nip, bark at strangers and jump on my 6 year old and turned him into a polite, well mannered puppy who listens, comes on command, and can stay in a down for several minutes. I was uncomfortable taking this puppy around our 88 yo family member who has balance issues but with Paige’s training, Benny was gentle and well mannered. I felt very comfortable having him around her. I highly recommend Paige. She truly has a way with dogs. She understands how they think and react and it shows in her training.

Zayda

Paige has been a blessing to our family helping with our newest puppy who was full of energy and boss of the house. She is now so well behaved and will come on command and actually has manners when entering and exiting the house!!
Thank you so much Paige

Bebe

I am thrilled with Paige and her services. My BeBe was out of control. However, Paige was able to correct BeBe’s bad behavior without changing her sweet personality.
     Also, Paige is so patient and loving with the dogs. I would highly recommend Paige Rushing to anyone in need of a compassionate and effective K9 trainer.

Charlie

I am so very pleased with Paige! She did an awesome job with Charlie, as well as with me. Paige is very passionate about dogs and it shows through her work. She is a great advocate for education! I was leery of the E-collar as well as the prong collar, but after she explained everything to me and I witnessed demonstration- I was and still am excited about both of the tools. It is amazing how beneficial they really are to have! I was also leery about “who” trained Charlie. Paige was referred to me by a dear friend/animal lover, and Paige more than proved her sincerity! I have told everyone I know about her!
     Charlie and I enjoy each other so much more since his training. We communicate easier, he knows what I expect of him and him of me, I can take him most anywhere I go now and feel confident about it. Paige is very accommodating- even to us “needy” parents. She was very thorough at all times and kept me informed.
     I highly recommend Paige’s Canine Companions! If you have ANY doubts- DONT! It has been one of the best decisions I have made for Charlie and I!

Paige was great to work with. She stayed in constant communication with us throughout the training. My lab is doing great and continues to make progress everyday. I would definitely recommend her for all of your dog training needs.

Gracie 
Gracie Bonita HorseI have started (& deleted) my review 3 times because I just couldn’t seem to find the right words to fully describe Paige & her abilities. It’s like saying the Grand Canyon is “big”; the statement may be true but it doesn’t do justice to the view.      My “baby”, Gracie, a young GSD, went to Paige in late January for basic training. A few weeks later I fractured my hip and had surgery; what was supposed to be 5 weeks of training turned into 10 weeks as Paige graciously agreed to keep Gracie while I was on crutches & rehabilitating. I seriously doubt that is standard behavior for a training business as I’m sure it impacted Paige’s training & boarding schedule, but she handled it with grace. Gracie also had problems with eating & Paige went the extra mile with coordination between her vet & mine, administering meds and special food, and weekly visits to her vet for weighing. What I’m trying to say is that Paige knows that your dog is not “just a dog”, he/she is family, and this knowledge flows through her care & training of your baby.

Gracie returned home as I feared: smarter than me! I’m now convinced that “Place” is the greatest word in the English language, and it’s a joy to take Gracie with me on errands. She is polite to strangers, well-behaved and no longer do I repeat commands 5 or 6 times hoping for a response.

Even more amazing is the work Paige did with my 7-year old GSD when she brought Gracie home. Annie had assumed the dominant role in the house and only rarely obeyed commands. She was unfriendly to visitors, and honestly, just a handful. Paige worked with her (and me) for JUST a few hours but the result was nothing short of amazing: Annie learned “Place”, “Stay”, “Quiet”, and how to “Wait” at doors. As I have continued to work with Annie (through lessons Paige helped me write out) the results has been spectacular: Annie has learned that she actually “likes” people & being petted by visitors, and that following commands is a good thing. I’ve learned that it’s not necessary to raise your voice, and that consistency is key.  If you are looking for a trainer for your “baby”, you’ve come to the right place: Paige is all you could ask for (and more)!”

Sadie

I am so pleased with my German Shepherd’s training. Sadie was aggressive towards other dogs making our daily walks less than pleasant! What Paige accomplished with Sadie is amazing. We now enjoy our walks with no fear of encountering another dog. Sadie learned so much more and visitors to our home have commented how well behaved she is. Paige is so kind and gentle and loves her students! Sadie fell in love with Paige and when I need to board her, I will definitely board her at Paige’s because I know Sadie loves being there. If you want a well behaved canine companion trained by a very caring and knowledgeable trainer, I highly recommend Paige’s Canine Companions. You won’t be disappointed.

“Paige has an amazing talent working with our fur babies. Emma came back a totally different pup! We are so proud of her and can not thank Paige enough for allowing us to continue our dream of having a family dog! Great Job Paige! I definitely will recommend her to others!”

Major

Major

“For Father’s Day 2013, the children and I decided to surprise my husband with his dream dog, a German Sheppard. It was true love at first sight for us all! Major was full of energy and enthusiasm, and he thrived on attention from my boys. We could tell very quickly that he was a fast learner and eager to know more. There were some things that bothered us about his behavior though. He jumped on us when excited, bit the children while playing, and ran in the house uninvited. My husband and I decided he needed training. Paige Rushing seemed to be just who Major needed to suit our needs. After just 5 weeks, Major returned to us with such manners that we decided to make him an inside companion. He was crate trained, calmed, and well-behaved. He knew his basic commands such as “sit”, “stay”, “wait”, and “place.” He thrived on his reward words such as “good,” and we could see his growth as we continued his daily training at home. Major is not just a dog to us now. He is a new member of our family, and thanks to Paige, he is a welcomed member of our home. We will forever be thankful for the love you poured into our sweet boy!”

Molly
molly“Having an oversized puppy is a gigantic challenge. Especially when your Goldendoodle’s name is Molly! Molly has the sweetest personality, but she was in need of some obedience training -such as OFF the furniture and obey when called off leash.

Paige took Molly from wild girl to sweet obedient lady in Less than two months. I am so appreciative of how effective and thorough Paige’s training methods are so gentle, which was very important to us.

If you want a well behaved pet that learns to respect its owners as well as obeying in the presence of your friends or strangers, then I highly recommend Paige’s Canine Companions training.”

Brody
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ms. Paige and what she has done with Brody, our lab puppy. He was extremely hard to handle and we thought at one point we might have to give him away, but she has taken a 65 pound ball of enthusiasm and made him a polite and manageable young gentleman.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone. She’s extremely patient and understanding with her students and their parents. Thanks again for all you have done!”

“Paige, I have been working and walking with Raina and she has done beautiful work with her commands. My neighbor was watching us and had a fit when he saw her following the commands. Randy and I are so please with your work!! We can’t thank you enough!!”
