Teaching people to train their dogs
The Right Paw Obedience School believes in teaching people how to train their dogs. After all, we don't live with your dog...you do. We've often been called 'dog trainers' but we are really 'people teachers'. Our instructors have a strong behavior interest where the primary training focus is based on a positive reinforcement/operant conditioning. This method has continued to yield successful results since 1989 when Darlynn Tracy-Oberg started the business in Princeton, Massachusetts.

To introduce the 'sport' of dogs to all that are interested
