Applause Your Paws, Inc. - Miami, Florida

I adopted my fur baby Daisy two months ago from the shelter, and being new to dog ownership, I needed help with training. After doing extensive research, I found Applause Your Paws, which had consistent and reliable reviews. I signed up for in-home private lessons with Felisha, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Daisy is fear-reactive, and taking her on walks used to be very stressful, especially when we encountered other dogs. After just three sessions with Felisha, Daisy has improved so much on loose leash walks and is more manageable when we come across other dogs. Felisha is incredibly knowledgeable and gave me the best tips and advice, helping me feel more confident as a dog owner.

Yesterday, we passed another dog, and while Daisy was initially reactive, I used the techniques Felisha taught me—staying calm and in control—and Daisy let the dog walk by without any further reaction. I’m so grateful for Felisha’s guidance and can confidently say that my walks with Daisy are now much more enjoyable. I highly recommend Applause Your Paws and Felisha for anyone in need of dog training!

I come from downtown Miami to AYP because it’s exactly what I was looking for for my German shepherd puppy. With many years of experience with German Shepherds, I know setting a strong foundation in their impressionable puppy stage is crucial. The class if perfect because it focuses on safe, regulated and healthy socialization, confidence building, obedience and overall handler-dog relationship and bonding under the supervision of expert trainers. HIGHLY recommend for your puppy or dog.

We took our recently adopted pup and Dee was AMAZING. She taught us lots of tricks to get Blue to cooperate and redirect her energy and attention.

I’m excited for our training journey and this is now possible after 1 session.

We will definite recommend training to everyone.

AYP was a good choice !! They treated my dog Princess so well and I was very relieved on that since I had her on the boarding training for two weeks . I was so happy Destiny trained my dog Princess !! Destiny was very kind and knowledgeable I had lots of confidence in her with my Princess!!
My dog Princess is a pit bull mixed with lab and boxer. She needed work on walking with a leash, listening on command and some exposure to other dogs and people. This was the best experience for my dog Princess and it has helped so much !! Thank you AYP and most of all Thank you Destiny!! P.S Princess misses you !!

I have taken several classes with my dogs at Applause Your Paws and I am so pleased with the trainers and the facility! I took Outdoor Adventures four times (three different dogs)...twice in Broward and twice in Miami. The classes are fun and take place in different public places each week, where the dogs practice their obedience skills with distractions and work towards their Canine Good Citizen tests. Marlene's Outdoor Adventure classes in Miami were my favorite! I also took Level 2 Obedience at the Miami location with Marlene and Dee as trainers. They both managed the class well, were always creative with training exercises for their canine students, clearly explained the exercises, and were receptive to questions. Both trainers are excellent and I always looked forward to class. I've only been to the Miami facility and it has always been spotless during my classes and it's so nice to have an indoor, matted facility with AC in the FL heat.

This was our first pet training class ever and Dee showed a group of 9 dogs great techniques and excellent advice. We are are already planning Snow Ball’s follow up class!!

I would highly recommend Applause Your Paws. Our dog Doug started with private trainer from AYP (Johnny) and he was great in helping us train Doug with the basic commands. We then decided to try the Daycare and we absolute love taking Doug once a week for daycare and training. We rescued Doug and he now is much better with people and seeing other dogs. His daycare trainer Destiny is fabulous. She is great with Doug and he loves her. He has definitely gotten better with all the commands and socially meeting other dogs. She knows his favorite snacks to make him work!

My dog and I started going to the group classes they offer. We were struggling with leash training and reactivity in particular. Marlene, the trainer leading our group class, identified the specific issues we were having and recommended a private in home lesson to be trained on new equipment. I was hesitant at first but we finally booked a private training session with Felicia. I was very pleased to learn that Marlene and Felisha had already communicated prior to the private in home training so we wasted no time getting to work. Felisha thoroughly helped us become familiar with the equipment and went above and beyond even after the session to answer any questions I had. Both trainers are very knowledgeable in their field and work as a team providing the best level of training we could ask for. Highly recommend. My dog has made a tremendous amount of progress in just a little over a month and we look forward to continuing our training with applause your paws.
