Adventure. Fulfillment. A better life with your dog.
At Four The Paws, I believe dogs were made for more than the backyard.
They were made to hike winding trails, splash through creeks, climb over logs, sniff every interesting scent, make dog friends, learn how to navigate the world, and come home happily fulfilled after a day of real adventure.
That’s why Four The Paws exists.
My mission is to help dogs live fuller lives while helping their people enjoy life with them. Everything I do is built around creating dogs that are confident enough to explore, calm enough to relax, and prepared to be true companions in everyday life.
​
Life Beyond the Backyard
Four The Paws Camp is an adventure-based day program where dogs spend their days exploring trails, hiking, swimming, paddle boarding, training through real-life experiences, socializing appropriately, resting when they need it, and simply getting to be dogs.
Every adventure is thoughtfully planned with purpose. Dogs are challenged, encouraged to explore, and given opportunities to build confidence while learning the skills they need to navigate everyday life.
No two days are exactly alike, but the goal is always the same: creating dogs that come home fulfilled, confident, and ready to relax, not simply exhausted.
​
My Philosophy
​I believe dogs need both freedom and structure
Dogs deserve opportunities to explore, make choices, use their instincts, and experience the world around them. They also need clear communication, guidance, and consistent expectations.
When those things are balanced, dogs become calmer, more confident, and easier to live with.
That’s the foundation of everything we do at Four The Paws, whether we’re on a mountain trail, in the water, resting after an adventure, or practicing real-life skills along the way.
​
Built for Real Life
Life with your dog shouldn’t revolve around managing unwanted behaviors.
It should revolve around sharing experiences together.
Whether your dream is hiking local trails, enjoying a patio lunch, taking road trips, paddle boarding on the lake, or simply having a dog that settles peacefully at home after a full day, my goal is to help make that possible.
Because the goal has never been a perfect dog.
It’s a dog that truly gets to be part of your life.

Elizabeth is amazing! We went to her because our dog was showing signs of aggression towards our daughter. She explained to us different reasons why my dog may be acting the way that she was and we worked together to make sure my dog was comfortable. I wanted to make sure she would be OK with children. That was my main concern, but Elizabeth also helped us in understanding my dog better to give her the best life we can Training a dog is never over and anytime I have a question I still feel comfortable reaching out to Elizabeth for her guidance! She truly loves each and every dog and took amazing care of mine! She still gets so excited every time she sees her! I love how Elizabeth offers, walking and training personalized to your exact needs! Now my dog and my daughter are literally best friends. I can’t think Elizabeth enough!

Elizabeth brought so much confidence and relief into our home! Our rescue was terrified of everyone and everything, we were so worried that she would never feel safe and adjusted with us. Elizabeth never judged us, always worked with our lifestyle and most importantly help us create a safe and responsive relationship with our dog. She’s quick to respond whenever we need help. She also walks our dog weekly in a pack walk that leaves our pup snoozing the whole next day! We rest easy knowing Elizabeth loves our dog as much as we do.

Literally the greatest human on Earth. Completely changed our lives for the better with our German shepherd puppy.
Our 1 year old puppy went from being super anxious and vocally reactive on walks to enjoying her social life and outdoor adventures. Walks are enjoyable again and we have continued her training through the pack walks Elizabeth offers. She is so good at what she does and the only person I would ever recommend for dog owners seeking help.
Would give 1000/5 stars if I could.
