Our Story: Where Every Paw Has a Purpose
Pawtential Dog Training began with a simple belief – every dog has the potential to be their best self, and every owner deserves the joy of a well-trained companion. It all started when Arlee, our founder and head trainer, discovered her passion for working with dogs. After years of helping friends and family with their pups, Arlee realized that traditional training programs often fell short in preparing dogs for the realities of everyday life. She saw the need for an approach that focused on real-world situations, where training isn’t just about commands but about building trust, confidence, and connection.
From the very beginning, Arlee knew she wanted to do things differently. Instead of training dogs only in facilities or classrooms, she took her sessions to the places that mattered most—neighborhoods, parks, pet-friendly stores, and homes. Every walk became an opportunity to practice leash manners, every store visit a chance to master calm behavior, and every home session a step toward solving real challenges. Arlee’s goal was to empower owners with practical tools they could use in their daily routines, building stronger bonds along the way.
Today, Pawtential Dog Training is a reflection of that mission. We believe that training should be fun, engaging, and tailored to each dog’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics, an anxious rescue building confidence, or an energetic dog mastering off-leash skills, every client becomes part of our story. At Pawtential, we aren’t just training dogs—we’re transforming relationships, one wagging tail at a time.

Arlee worked wonders with my rescue dog, Charlie, who struggled with leash reactivity and anxiety around new people. Her calm demeanor and customized training approach made all the difference. Arlee's knowledge and skill go beyond basic obedience—she truly cares about creating lasting relationships between dogs and their owners. Thanks to her, Charlie is now much more confident, and I feel empowered as a dog owner. I can't recommend Arlee enough for anyone in need of a knowledgeable, compassionate trainer who truly understands dogs

Arlee is an exceptional trainer with a rare talent for understanding both dogs and their owners. She worked with my energetic puppy, Luna, teaching not only essential obedience but also practical skills that fit seamlessly into our daily life. Her approach to positive reinforcement made every session enjoyable, and her patience was key in helping me build confidence as a first-time dog owner. I wholeheartedly recommend Arlee to anyone looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated to her clients.
