4Paws University is the most recommended dog training and behavior school in the Sacramento area!

Owned and operated by Certified Pet Dog Trainer, Lisa Mullinax, 4Paws has been offering training and behavior services throughout the Sacramento area since 2001. We have worked with more than 3,000 dogs and their owners to teach obedience skills and change problem behaviors.

We have extensive experience working with a wide variety of breeds, types and sizes of dogs, as well as hearing-impaired and deaf dogs.

After almost 9 years of teaching in McKinley Park, we moved to our new Training and Behavior Center in April of 2010.

• Conveniently located between Sacramento and Roseville, just off I-80
• Air-conditioned!

• Outdoor training area for added training around distractions

Our trainers are recommended by the Sacramento SPCA, local veterinarians, rescue groups and other professional trainers. 4Paws University has been featured in Sacramento Magazine, The Sacramento Bee and appeared on Good Day Sacramento.  Our articles on training and behavior have received much acclaim from the professional dog training community and are now featured by the San Diego Humane Society, as well as numerous dog-related organizations.

OUR METHODS

Dog owners choose 4Paws University because they want to learn how to train their dog and resolve behavior problems with the latest in positive reinforcement training methods.

• No choke chains
• No prong collars
• No shock collars
• No physical punishment
  

It is neither necessary nor more effective to use such outdated methods to change problem behaviors or teach reliable commands.

Positive reinforcement training has been used for decades to train marine animals for entertainment, military service, and to change aggressive behaviors. These same methods are equally as effective with your dog!

Our trainers have extensive experience working with dogs and their owners. Our goal is to teach YOU, the dog owner, to learn how to work with your dog, so you get reliable results outside of class. Committed to remaining on the cutting edge of canine behavior, our trainers continue their education with top experts in the industry.
