We can't thank Stephan enough for transforming our dog Sully into a very well mannered, disciplined and trained dog. Stephen was so patient and kind to our family as we learned to help Sully. He is a master teacher! We highly recommend Paws Cienda. The facility is top notch! Very clean and lots of room for animals to learn and play. All staff seem happy and the vibe is so wonderful. There's not another place like this in Richmond area. Thank you Stephen for an amazing job! Sully misses you already!

We sent our dog dog for the training course and she returned so much better behaved! She listens better and learned a lot of new tricks. The staff was always professional and communicated with us throughout her training session. Pawscienda gave us all the tools to make sure she stays on top of her training. We will definitely be using them in the future.

We were referred to Pawcienda from a previous customer. We couldn't be happier with our experience. We took our 8 month old rescue dog there for obedience camp with Stephen. The whole experience was wonderful. Stephen explained everything very clearly and showed us how to continue his training at home. We enjoyed that we were able to visit part way through his training and see his progress; but we were really impressed when we returned at the completion of the training to a well behaved dog. We are so happy with the results and will definitely recommend Pawcienda to anyone looking for dog training/obedience.

PawsCienda has great staff members, friendly, helpful, great with all our pets, cats and dogs. Some have needed meds when they've been boarded and I could always trust them to handle it, even with my very uncooperative cat. Our dogs love doggie daycare and the groomer is awesome!

This is the greatest facility and group of team members I have experienced. I had an unexpected trip lasting two months and my German Shepherd BO, needed a home. After my trip I perceive he didn't want to come home as he was treated like family. Now I must reveil, his trainer was Jeff stoneman, owner of pawcienda. I am a business owner, field trial hunter, multi state traveler who has had his dog accompany me world wide.

This facility, these team members are the best in the business. My 2 daughters, and my entire family depend on the family of this kennel. This is the only 5 star rating I have ever given as I sit here watching my beautiful, clean, 118 lb GS sleep next to my chair. Pawcienda team, thank you. John zehler

We took a trip back home to Nebraska for 5 days and we took 2 Australian cattle dogs because of the reviews. My grandpa trained dogs and had a kennel so I knew what to look for. I have to say coming from Nebraska and a dog family who had the same kind of business this is a A+ service for dog parents. We traveled 45 minutes to take them here since we live over by the RVA airport.

We could tell both our of dogs loved it! They got their nails trimmed too. I love how they have bible verses outside on their sign and the love and reviews from the customers we visited with while picking the dogs up was fantastic! They had 5 potty breaks and only cost $80 for 2 dogs each day with food provided. Great place and recommend for long stays!

Don't use these people until they have properly roofed their kennel runs. My sister has an empty house and a sobbing family.

We took our 9 month old terrier mix for the month long board and train option. The staff was very responsive to all our needs. Even when Scout developed a foot irritation that required a break in his training, they were quite accommodating. Stephen, the trainer, did an amazing job with our feisty and stubborn (but lovable) puppy. We are so pleased with how disciplined our dog is now. He is still playful, but we can have him respond to our commands readily. We highly recommend Pawscienda.
