Playful Paws of WNY is a locally owned dog daycare and training center. While Rebecca worked for many years in dog training and dog daycare, she saw a need for a facility that truly understood dog behavior and body language. She knew that the behavior knowledge and training was essential to giving dogs a safe and enriching place to play and learn. Rebecca has worked since 2008 in dog daycare and dog training, starting as an intern for an animal behaviorist and continuing to learn from other trainers and dog daycare facilities until she decided to open at Playful Paws. She graduated from Houghton College with a psychology and business degree and is a Karen Pryor Clicker Training Graduate.

Rebecca and her staff believe positive reinforcement/science-based training is the best and only way to train and work with animals. At Playful Paws, we strive to make a safe play environment, an enriching training environment, and to make every dog feel as though they are one of our own.
