If your dog listens at home but falls apart around distractions, the issue is not intelligence. It is structure.
We train for reliability in real environments — neighborhoods, parks, public spaces, so commands hold when it matters. Our approach focuses on:

• Clear communication
• Consistent structure

• Motivated learning

• Gradual distraction layering

• Owner education for long term success

We do not rely on gimmicks or quick fixes. We build obedience that lasts.

Every dog is evaluated individually. Programs are selected based on temperament, history, and goals.
In Home Dog Training

Private sessions designed to correct behavior in your actual living environment.

Board and Train Programs

Structured immersion programs of 21, 30, or 45 days designed for accelerated progress and behavior stabilization.

Puppy Training

Early foundation training for crate skills, potty training, leash manners, recall, and confidence building.

Behavior and Reactivity Training

Targeted programs for leash reactivity, overstimulation, anxiety driven behaviors, and impulse control breakdown.

Each program is designed to transfer control back to you — not create trainer dependence.

We are not a franchise. We are not a revolving door class model.
We are a locally owned training facility focused on measurable progress. What sets our training apart:

• One on one coaching from professional trainers
• Structured, progressive systems

• Real world proofing beyond the training room

• Continued support after program completion

• Facility based and in home options

We train dogs to think clearly, respond immediately, and remain calm under pressure.

Big N Small Paws 317 is operated by experienced trainers who have worked with hundreds of families across Central Indiana.
Our team trains:

• High energy working breeds
• Family companion dogs

• Puppies

• Reactivity cases

• Confidence building cases

Training is conducted at our Indianapolis facility and in controlled public environments to ensure reliability.

Training costs vary depending on program type and behavior complexity. Private sessions and board and train programs are structured based on the level of support required. A consultation determines the best fit.

Professional training provides structure, clarity, and long term behavioral stability. Without consistent systems, many behavior issues escalate over time.

Basic obedience foundations can be built within weeks. Reliability under distraction requires structured repetition and consistency.

Leash pulling, jumping, poor recall, impulse control issues, reactivity, overstimulation, and anxiety related behaviors are commonly addressed.

Big N Small Paws 317 is proud to be connected with local business organizations that support Indianapolis pet owners.
