Hear from the people that make Anything Pawzible!
White sound machine, low lights, consistent sleep schedule. Who knew you can put your pack down for naps throughout the day – and who knew to coincide them with a baby’s sleep schedule! Judit knows. Judit knows A LOT about dogs, infants, sleep schedules, preparing dogs for a baby’s arrival, guests, and mommy time. But her knowledge is not limited to just babies and their dogs. She is an experienced, dog trainer, who happens to have youngsters and dogs, so hands-on experience helping families to safely and sanely onboard a new baby into your life and your dog(s) life.
Having a sweet 60lb pittie who wants to say HELLO to everyone who walks in the house, and thinks everything in your hand is hers, presented a formula for disaster. And we needed help. As a young dog during the first few years of the pandemic, we didn’t have the opportunity to desensitize Nola to guests arriving in the home. Now when guests enter, she truly believes they want her to jump all over them and sit on their lap – literally, physically! We needed to assure the baby’s safety while allowing the dogs to coexist in his life. And, with a new baby in the home, we need to teach our big girl how to properly welcome guests into the home.
In just two in-home sessions with Judit, homework instructions, lesson summaries and information pieces, we were trained! Not Nola. The humans were trained. Now we have the knowledge to pass on to Nola and our other dogs in order to maintain our happy home and allow our little one to safely grow up with his dogs. After the baby is here for a couple of weeks, Judit will be back for lesson #3 to observe how everything is going. She’ll also set us up for success for baby milestones (verbal, crawling, toddling) that all present whole new experiences for the dogs. She’ll coach us on properly guiding them through these.
Whether you just added a puppy to your family and want to put her on the right path or you’ve adopted an older dog and need to understand and guide your new dog or, like us, you are welcoming a baby into your existing pack of pups, Anything Is PAWZible has a class and/or a trainer for you.

Laura has been working with my coonhound, Anna, and me for the past 7 years. I cannot put into words how Laura’s talent has improved our lives. Anna used to be very scared, shut down, and reactive. She trusted Laura from the very beginning. Our lessons consist of creative courses for jumping, stretching, balancing and cardio workouts tailored to Anna’s needs. Laura now incorporates nosework since Anna is a huge fan. Anna knows when it’s time to go see coach Laura every week and she gets so excited! I truly believe that at 13 years old, Anna is in top shape both mentally and physically, thanks to Laura’s skills, patience and knowledge about working with reactive dogs. Anna and I so lucky to have Laura in our lives!

As a client of Jamie Ramos, I can confidently say she has made a meaningful difference in our dog’s life—and ours. Our dog Beaux has struggled with leash reactivity and basic manners, and while he still has a ways to go, he’s already shown a HUGE improvement after just a few training sessions with Jamie. Her calm, consistent approach has made a noticeable impact, and we’re so encouraged by the progress.
Jamie is not only a skilled trainer, but also a kind and compassionate person who truly cares about the dogs and families she works with. She’s flexible, patient, and incredibly supportive—always willing to help. She tailors her training to each dog’s needs and is committed to helping them grow at their own pace. Beaux is obsessed with her and waits patiently on the days she comes to our home to train. He can definitely sense her arrival!
More than anything, Jamie brings a sense of hope and trust to the training process. Beaux still has challenges, but with Jamie’s guidance, we’re confident he’s on the right path. If you’re looking for someone who will work with you and your dog with genuine care and expertise, Jamie Ramos is the trainer you want by your side. She’ll teach you SO many things about dogs’ brains and how we can help them make good decisions. She’s absolutely the best!

I wanted to tell you how much of an impact you made on me and Penny. I had a hunch I’d enjoy Lin’s instruction when, in the intro class, Lin told us you would sometimes get off topic and that’s fine. I was right. The first week of class with the dogs I was holding back tears as I wondered if I made a big mistake adopting this dog. I had two reactive dogs before and did not want to deal with that again. This was supposed to be my chill dog, and she could not find any chill in a room with other dogs.
I was holding back tears again the last couple of weeks because I was so proud of Penny and myself! She was chill without even a visual barrier and enthusiastically engaged with me. My goal was to bond with my dog. Now we have a great relationship. It’s easy to get stressed during training and be tempted to take it very seriously. You were constantly relaxed, playful, and encouraging. That is exactly the example I needed to remind me that this is supposed to be fun. From the start, I loved cuddling with Penny, but now I very much enjoy walking and training with her too!
We still have a long road ahead of us to quell her separation anxiety and the proud moments we’ve had through obedience training have been necessary to help us get through the separation anxiety struggles. Today on our regular afternoon walk I was rewarding Penny for walking close by my side and I could see it begin to click for her. We are on our way to a proper heel! I look forward to those little moments of joy between us as we work together. Thanks for being good at what you do and helping us find that joy.

Anything is Pawzible has truly changed our lives. Their classes are amazing. Every instructor has been knowledgable and had a meaningful impact on pets. The variety of options means that there is a perfect class for everyone. The individual training is what made the biggest difference for us. Yvonne helped us build a stronger relationship with our previous dog, who needed a little extra support, patience, and understanding. Everyone at Anything is Pawzible was incredibly accommodating to all of his special needs and never once made us feel like we were an imposition. Instead, they met us where we were, helped us understand our dog better, and gave us the tools and confidence to set everyone up for success. Most importantly, they taught us that training is about so much more than commands—it’s about building a lasting relationship through clear communication, trust, and understanding. They helped us create that relationship with our previous dog, and they have more than prepared us to do the same with our current dog. We are incredibly grateful for the knowledge, support, and compassion they have given our family. If you want a training facility that truly cares about both the dog and the people, we cannot recommend Anything is Pawzible highly enough!

Rendy Speaks Dog! When we brought Kai home from the shelter, we were pretty much lost. But Rendy came to the house (before we were able to join one of her training classes) and taught us what we needed to know. She is brilliant at translating what human words and actions mean to the dog and how to use that knowledge to train your pup–and build an amazing bond. We love Rendy and we love our dog.

Rendy has been helping us with our girl, Lucy, for over a year and we honestly don\’t know what we would do without her. We\’ve attended several group classes and have learned so much under her tutelage! Lucy has made incredible progress in her obedience and knows all kinds of tricks now. Plus, it\’s been a great way to bond with our rescue pup! During the group classes we\’ve taken, Rendy always provided plenty of individual attention and helped give us tips and practical strategies that were specific to Lucy\’s needs. She uses positive training methods which was important to us and the most effective way to shape Lucy\’s behaviors. In addition to the group classes, we\’ve had a few private sessions to focus on Lucy\’s more difficult issues (significant separation anxiety). Rendy\’s extensive knowledge and experience has been key not only to Lucy\’s success, but to our growth as first-time dog owners. Lucy LOVES Rendy and so do we!

Attended both the Puppy Pawzibilities & the Basic Plus Pawzibilities group classes with Mario. Mario’s patience and kindness in class made coming in that much more enjoyable. With Mario, Georgie has learned to wait patiently at the door before entering our house, which has been so helpful when we need to wipe muddy paws. Georgie is also well-versed in ‘puppy push-ups’, ‘touch’, ‘watch me’, and so much more. Mario was also able to help us teach Georgie how to ‘leave-it’ on our walks. This has been an absolute game-changer for us, as Georgie now knows to back away from objects when he hears the cue. We are so appreciative of Mario for helping us strengthen our bond with Georgie while also teaching crucial tips and tricks.

It takes a village to raise a Petunia, and we\’re so grateful that Rendy Schwartz is part of our village! Two years ago, we adopted a sweet two year old Jack Russell Terrier rescue. Petunia came to us with severe separation anxiety and we\’d been working with another trainer to no success when a friend recommended Rendy. By the time we met Rendy, we were seriously considering whether we were the right family for Petunia and we were devastated at the thought that we might have to give her back. After one session with Rendy, Petunia started making huge strides. The suggestions she made and the basic training she taught us all made a major difference and Petunia started turning the corner with her anxiety. Rendy has the most incredible, positive energy and Petunia responds to her like no one else. She provided us with incredibly clear direction and demonstration, and she put the responsibility back on us to practice and incorporate all of the training into our daily life with Petunia. She is the kind of trainer who is committed to helping you become self-sufficient as quickly as possible which was not the experience we\’d had with our first trainer. Since those first private sessions, Petunia\’s gone on to take Rendy\’s basic training class where she proudly graduated at the top of her class – something we could have never imagined when she first came to us. We continue to work with Rendy in private lessons as challenges come up. Most recently, she visited us for a session to help Petunia with her on-leash behavior and response towards other dogs while walking. Again, one session and we started to see a big turnaround. Rendy\’s the trainer we will always call, and we couldn\’t recommend her more highly. She has a total gift with dogs and we\’re incredibly lucky to have found her.

When we adopted Tae over two years ago she was quite the sick little puppy. We had to wait a few months to start Rendy’s, highly recommended, puppy class but we are so thankful we did. Tae loves Rendy and she loves to work. Those initial classes not only set the foundation for her training but also exposed her, and us, to other ways to keep Tae engaged. As a border collie mix, we knew that she was intelligent and had lots of energy so we were excited to see firsthand her interest during the introduction to agility and, thankfully, not so much interest in the props brought out to introduce a hospital setting. Both my husband and I have rather inflexible work schedules but Rendy has been more than accommodating, meeting early morning, evening or weekends. Our work with Rendy has been indispensable. Not only is Rendy preparing Tae and I to work in therapy, she also helps with difficult issues that come up as Tae transitions from puppyhood to adolescence. Her unlimited positive energy and enthusiasm is infectious and Tae and I always come out of a session feeling energized and empowered. Since Rendy has guided our training from the beginning, Tae is now a happy, healthy 2 and half year old that we can take anywhere with us. We feel so lucky to have found Rendy and would, and do, recommend her to all our friends (and even some random dogs and people on the street who clearly have not been to Rendy’s classes!).
