Customer's reviews
A few short words cannot highlight how happy I am with the work Big N’ Small Paws 317 did! This is coming from a very frugal person who hates to spend money on anything, this service was worth every penny and more! Jerry and his team absolutely blew my expectations out of the water! Our 4 month old German Shepard came out of his 21 day board and train a completely different puppy. Not only will your dog have the most amazing training, but Jerry went above and beyond to make sure we were educated on how to continue the progress when he came back home. Jerry really does care about each and every dog that he trains and even has different techniques based on their individual personalities. He wants just as much for your dog as you do, so absolutely use this training!

I got the 1 month board and training program. First off, when you walk in it's quiet. The dogs aren't barking. Secondly it smells nice. Not at all like their's a bunch of dogs there. Thirdly, the 2 different staff members I interacted with were very polite, professional and really know their business. I dropped my female German Shepherd off who is 1 year old today, 1 week ago today and she was a little bit confused and maybe frigtened of her new surroundings and people. 1 week later, she's happy, calm and learning. I was very , very impressed with the staff and they're learning teaching techniques. If you want a very well-mannered, well-trained dog, I can't say enough positive things about big n small paws 317. I would give them 10 stars if Google would let me that's how strongly I feel about this training Academy.

I recently looked into Big N’ Small Paws 317, and they come across as a professional and well-rounded dog training service in the Indianapolis area. They offer a wide range of programs, from puppy training to obedience and behavior modification.
One thing that stands out to me is their focus on customized training and real-world application. Instead of just basic commands, they emphasize building confidence and strengthening the bond between owner and dog, which is a big plus. The option for in-home training also adds convenience and helps address behavior in a familiar environment.
Overall, a really solid choice for anyone looking for structured, personalized dog training and I’m really happy with choosing them as my personal dog trainers!
