We have used Rocking Paw for training and boarding. A great facility for both. The team for training is outstanding (Jolynn, Viktoria, Georgann and Zach). We did a Board and Train and they were able to get us on the right path after puppy classes. We did in-home training and it was fantastic. Our girl is reactive and had a hard time learning with all the distractions of a group class. They were very patient and willing to adjust to offer some suggestions on different methods of training. Boarding - each dog has their own room. Not a kennel. The room has a doggy door to allow them to a small private outside area. They can go in and out as much as they want. The outside is covered so if it is raining they are still able to enjoy some fresh air. The rooms are AC and heated. During their stay they do a great job of giving medicines and special food. They also take your dog out to a bigger "play" area multiple times a day for them to get in some running time and play time. Depending on their temperament they can play with other dogs during this play time or if not then they get to run and play around with the staff. They have also been great to bring in specialists to provide even more opportunities to work with your dogs. From Behaviorists to dog sport experts. read more

We were new to town, newly married, and new to a breed we'd been researching for several years when I first met Jolynn. Her training facility came highly recommended to me from several different local pages on Facebook. We got into our first class rather quickly, and that's when I realized how unique and wonderful Jolynn and her fellow trainers were. Not only did she help us with obedience, but she opened my eyes to the world of several different dog sports. Through which, Calla and I now have a bond that I never knew could exist between a dog and their human! If you're looking for trainers that treat you like family, trainers that want you to have the best bond possible with your canine counterpart, and trainers that work hard to be knowledgeable in several different fields of dog sports. This is the place for you. No matter the breed of your dog, or how far into sports you intend to go-the fact that they provide you with the opportunities is a true gift! read more

Our guy has had online training due to Covid restrictions in 2020, and training classes with Jolynn. She is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Our dog, Tex, even was able to take his therapy dog test via RPaw because Jolynn has so many trainers, and specialists come through. She and her staff offer so many things for your dog, and your family. I wouldn't go anywhere else with my guy! (anyone who says otherwise with 1 star, is lying through their teeth, impatient, or has the wrong Rocking Paw). Our guy is loved in the community because he's a sweetheart, and he's a sweetheart, partly due to Jolynn. read more

I would highly recommend Rocking Paw Training and Kennel this is the best training you could get for your fur babies.

I have been going to Rocking Paw for both training and boarding for years. I've put 3 dogs through several obedience classes there. Jolynn and all of the trainers (Georgann, Zach, & Viktoria) are all amazing and so helpful!! Jolynn has also provided so much help with various dog sports offered in the area. I have built better relationships with my dogs through these trainings and sport opportunities. I'm thankful to have met Jolynn and will continue to use Rocking Paw for training and boarding! read more

AMAZING OWNER AND AMAZING FACILITY! Jolynn has helped our family out in more ways than just training. Without her we wouldn't have our little pack of dogs and they wouldn't be as well mannered without her support. This is more than just dog training, if your open to doing more with your dogs this is a life long bond with an amazingly good hearted person read more

We absolutely LOVE Rocking Paw! Jolynn Payne is the absolute best. We have had our 2 grown dogs go through classes here, and now we are educating our puppy there as well. When we go out of town, there is no other place we will board our fur babies, either. They are played with, loved on, and cared for in the best environment. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Rocking Paw is the best! The owner and staff love all dogs like they are their own babies and the facilities are wonderful! Huge rooms, lots of play time, and opportunities for training while you are away. Both of our girls went through two rounds of classes at RP and this is the only place we will leave them when we go out of town! read more

Only place I will ever board my pups. Each time they have been out there I see pics of them playing, they are treated like family and the kennel rooms are amazing. As for training this boy did 5 levels and is now a therapy dog. Did I mention her amazing breeding program ? This boy is from her first litter and he is just amazing. read more

Tried calling and she replied for us to text her. We text and left messages on FB and was completely ignored. Unprofessional and rude.

Amazing place to take your dog for training and other dog sports. I have trained 2 chihuahuas with Jolynn.

Great service! Jolynn and her staff are awesome! The facility is clean and the dofs are will cared for!
