Applause Your Paws Miami, Florida

The trainer Sara was amazing with our husky, Loki. She was very caring and taught him everything that we addressed in his profile. We can not thank her enough and we recommend taking your dog to her!!

Oscar is out of this world! This team is dynamic and they obviously love what they do for our pets. But, Oscar worked with my Gnarls on a few very specific concerns—achieving results in just days. We will definitely have ongoing training at AYP.

My whole experience was amazing. Nobody told me that getting a Waimeraner was gonna flip our home and sanity upside down. Alice is the true dog whisperer and the entire team of trainers were skilled and patient. Recommend them 100%.

One of the best places to work ????

I sent my dog for the 2 week training which was amazing! My dog really did learn so much. I then moved and did a zoom session with Felicia who made me so much more relaxed to be with my dog in a new state. She gave me incredible advise to calm me and I will 100% call her again if I need more aid or have a new dog. Thank you!!

So far so good. I can say 100%, Alice is super helpful. I took forever to register my dog and enroll her in classes. She was patient with me the entire time. We have done only 1 group class and it is very helpful. I don't think that it will be enough for our dog and for the level of obedience we want. We will probably do a few private lessons as well. I'll update as I work with them more.

Felisha was knowledgeable and took her time in assessing and giving advice on how to deal with our dog's anxiety. She had her going in the crate fairly quickly, which I had not been able to do. She answered all our questions and did not seem in a rush. I would definitely call them again.

Highly recommend Applause Your Paws! Dee and her team are wonderful.

Applause Your Paws is excellent for dog training . I have tried several of their types of programs from day school to group classes. Their facility is great and my dog loves going there. At the end of day school you get a detailed report card and helpful literature for practice at home. I most recently tried the private training and it was excellent. Felicia did a great job of actually helping to train me how to handle my dog. She has vast experience and is very caring . She is also very patient with the many questions I asked her. I highly recommend Applause Your Paws for your dog training !

Impressive, professional staff who are experts in their field. So far my dog has attended 20+ sessions at their day school on a somewhat inconsistent basis due to my own schedule being inconsistent. She has come so far and I keep meaning to sign up for the group classes, but they’re in high demand! Price reflects quality as does the demand for their training services. Wouldn’t send my dog anywhere else for training.

Awful experience. Don’t waste your time They sell a fake service, they will call you a million times to book with them but, once you do the customer service isn’t the same. I had a huge issue with my 4month puppy and still waiting for a manager to call me. I requested a refund for remaining credits I pre-purchased and they won’t give me a refund. They only will give me “a private lesson or an online zoom lesson”. Please don’t waste your time. Way better trainers in the area who will care all the way through for you and your pet. This review is after a month of trying to get a manger to give me a call and your staff Amanda was rude and unprofessional and said she “ called “ this is the result of weeks of me trying to get in contact with someone for your team. They offered to bath the dog. She as full of pee very different from being dirty. So as a business owner you should pay closer attention to a paying customer. I don’t regret anything about my review. If someone of authority would’ve picked up the phone and called me like I requested weeks ago and my follow up emails. We wouldn’t be here yet the second I write a review it’s paid attention to. Absolutely ridiculous.

I highly recommend Applause Your Paws! We used their in-home training service for a new rescue pup. Marlene is the absolute best! Not only is she a wonderful trainer, but so caring. The team at the office was also very accommodating with scheduling around a leg surgery our puppy needed. 4 stars because they’re not very responsive, but eventually they get back to you, just not as timely as one would hope. Can’t emphasize enough how amazing Marlene is! After our puppy had surgery and our sessions finished she sent over some “get well” cookies; a caring gesture, from a caring trainer!!

I stumbled upon Applause Your Paws on Google and I am so happy I did! It had so many amazing reviews and I quickly found out why. I am a first time dog owner and was super excited to get my French Bulldog puppy Koa into some training. I reached out to Applause Your Paws and Dee was super responsive. I signed up for the online training. It was very convenient. My puppy, Koa and I trained in the comfort of our home. Dee is kind, positive and incredibly knowledgeable. Within my first live online session my puppy Koa (who has had no prior training) was making eye contact, sitting, holding a down position and even stopped nipping/biting. Dee is a puppy guru! She makes it easy with three simple magical steps! Therefore, it is easy for you and your dog/puppy to remember. Within three live online sessions, Koa has progressed so much. Dee also records each live online session and sends you the videos when you are done. It is so nice to have these videos on hand so you can refer back to them. I am very happy with the live online sessions and will continue to book more. If anyone is skeptical about a live online training session, don’t be! My puppy Koa is proof that Applause Your Paws live online training sessions work!

I have a French Bulldog who is very aggressive with other dogs that he is unfamiliar with (especially while he is on the leash on walks). One of the most respected trainers at AYP, Felisha Fraind, has been working with Zeus on his …

Dee is a pillar of our dog canine community and AYP is an amazing training facility. Our Corgie Bowie went their as a puppie and three years later we continue to have a well disciplined fun smart doggie. She also does a great job training service dogs and her boarding facility is the best!

We had a truly unfortunate experience where even after I explained clearly that our dog was anxious, 145lbs and had 2 incidents with people the company assigned a trainer who did not have experience with dogs like this and had explicitly …

The trainers at Applause are dedicated and knowledgeable professionals who have a deep love for what they do. My most recent experience was with a rescue dog who had a very rough start in life and needed help with socialization. The one-on-one tutoring was just what he needed to gain confidence and begin trusting humans again. He changed from having a distrustful and prickly attitude to a confident dog who enjoyed meeting new people and could handle new situations without stressing. It was a team effort but Melissa took the lead with him and showed great skill in understanding his behavior and helping him change into the loving dog that he was meant to be! And she also communicated effectively with me about what I could do outside of training to help him improve!

Thanks to This is the Dog I was referred to Applause your paws. We’ve been training with trainer Felisha for 4 training sessions now and it’s the best. Since day one my dog has responded to her so quickly and her easy training tips have been truly helpful. Very happy

I am new to raising a puppy and after only 2 private sessions with Felisha I know I can get through this. Felisha is excellent with her skills and knowledge on training my puppy. Not only is she excellent with training she is a wealth of …

Parker has been training at Applause Your Paws for about a year. He completed their Board and Train Program with Julia and has continued ongoing training since then. He is a rescue that requires tons of attention, exercise, and love, which …

My pup has been doing better with people interaction, she used to be fearful and bark at strangers out of fear to defend herself, but she hasn't been doing that lately. Each time I would pick her from the center she would be tired from playing and happy whenever I dropped her off.

Felicia is an amazing trainer, she gives me wonderful advice! When I come back to Miami I always look her up! She has incredible training skills I’m always amazed of how my dog instantly …

We love our training sessions with Marlene! She is incredible and so patient, kind and knowledgeable. We’ve learned so much (both my pup AND me)!

We have followed our trainer Felisha for over a decade now. She has trained several of our dogs each with their own unique personality traits. She quickly figures out the perfect training techniques and makes suggestions on how to feed into the positivity of their training. Our latest member, Luna, was sitting, laying down, staying and loving her crate in the very first class! We look forward to doing our homework and reinforcing these new commands until next class. Our little Luna is a genius and so is Felicia! She is always a delight and a very knowledgeable trainer. ????

This business has helped not only the dogs and their owners under their care but has helped our community with everything it does. AYP, gives good quality positive reinforcement training allowing owners to have a good understanding of what …

We have a very special Belgian Malinois. Havana is a fearful puppy, and requires a lot of patience. Most places are afraid of her, and are clueless to her needs. At Applause everyone is well trained to deal w all types of dogs.They access …

Our puppy Kora is always happy and excited to see the trainers here. She gets excellent care and training, both of which have helped her partially overcome her fear of strangers. I highly recommend this business.

We took our puppy to kindergarten and it was alot of fun and helpful

I cannot recommend Applause Your Paws enough to Miami's dog owners. They are a team of wonderful, caring trainers who look after your dog as if it was their own. I have sent my 3 yr old rescue pup there twice now for 2-week Board & Train camps, and both times she has come back more confident and with more tools under her belt to be a good girl! Thank you to the Applause Your Paws team for treating my girl with so much love and respect!

Great place to train your animals
