ABOUT US 

Meet Isabella — Dog Trainer & Founder of Hand & Paw Dogs

I’ve been passionate about dogs my whole life. It started with training our family’s Cocker Spaniel as a kid — learning what motivated her sparked a lifelong interest in canine behavior. That curiosity grew into hands-on training experience and a deep understanding of what makes dogs tick.

When I adopted my first dog, Indie, I dove into professional training full-time. I spent years studying behavior, attending seminars, and volunteering at local shelters, experiences that taught me the power of patience, communication, and consistency.

​

At Hand & Paw Dogs, I use a science-based, personalized approach to solve everyday behavior issues, from reactivity and pulling to confidence building and calm companionship, and puppy raising. Every plan is tailored to your dog and your lifestyle, so you’re never following a generic method that doesn’t work.

Let’s turn your dog’s challenges into strengths.
