The staff of PawsCienda are absolutely phenomenal. Our puppies went to PawsCienda for training and after just four days, their behavior and focus was incredible. Both Stephen and Julianne, the trainers, are exceptional with training and follow-up with us. We received phone updates, a video, and in-depth instruction for us to continue their training. We can't speak highly enough about the PawsCienda and their service. Via GOOGLE

This was my first time using PawsCienda. They informed me about my cat during my time away & also sent pictures. I felt completely at ease leaving her there. They seem to really care. God bless! Via GOOGLE

Pawscienda is the absolute best! All of the staff are professional and kind. Stephen is an amazing trainer and his assistants Julianne and Charli are amazing also! I would highly recommend his classes. And a very special shout out to Payton for going over and above to make sure our fur baby was well taken care of and loved on while he was boarding there!! Payton is the absolute best and has such a way with the animals! We feel totally confident leaving our pets with them! Via GOOGLE

I don’t know about the pet resort part but my dogs get their grooming there. They are FANTASTIC! My cavalier goes right in and is happy to be there. Not like other places I’ve gone. Once you get on their schedule book out because this place is in demand due to their great customer service and grooming experience! Via GOOGLE

My only complaint is they are too busy! It does put the burden on the owner to be more mindful of planning and scheduling grooming needs in advance. They have treated both me and my 13 yo bichon with respect and I’ve been happy with the grooming and care he’s received so far. In my experience they’ve worked with me to find alternative groomers if they can’t fit me in and do call back in a timely manner if a message or inquiry is left. They do take well defined time off during the day so check website for hours and know that during those siesta hours they don’t answer the phone. They’ve consistently finished up faster than projected and I e been able to get my dog before the mid day break.

We have had the best experience working with Stephen, an incredibly talented dog trainer to train our littermate siblings, who can reasonably be described as Tasmanian devils all the time. Their littermate energy is INSANE!
When I first met with Stephen, the first thing I told him was that I didn’t trust my dogs. Stephen trained me how to properly and SAFELY use e-collars on my pups bc I had never used e-collars on any other dogs I’ve rescued.
Stephen’s patience with me was biblical, quite honestly. Compared to me, working with my Tasmanian devils was easy.
I learned so much from Stephen, that I signed up for multiple training sessions. And on top of working with Stephen to obedience train our pups, we also have the pups enrolled in doggie day care at Pawscienda, have our pups kenneled at Pawscienda when we travel, and have our pups groomed at Pawscienda. Honestly, at every level of service we have always been impressed with all the staff, the philosophy that guides Pawscienda’s values and the wealth of expertise and experience they bring to not just our pups, but all the pups, kitties, and bunnies etc., entrusted to their care. We wholeheartedly recommend Pawscienda Pet Resort for all your pets’ needs.
Thank you for your enduring commitment to excellence Jeff, Gayle, Stephen, Amanda, Payton, Barbara, Lizzie, Weston and all the talented and dedicated staff at Pawscienda!

Hands down the best dog daycare/ groomer in the Richmond area. Great prices, friendly staff. Unique in the fact that you will never catch their staff glued to their electronics. We moved away (across country) and I constantly have to remind our dogs that we aren’t in “Kansas” anymore 😞 There truly is no other dog daycare like this, one of a kind.

We can’t thank Stephan enough for transforming our dog Sully into a very well mannered, disciplined and trained dog. Stephen was so patient and kind to our family as we learned to help Sully. He is a master teacher! We highly recommend Paws Cienda. The facility is top notch! Very clean and lots of room for animals to learn and play. All staff seem happy and the vibe is so wonderful. There’s not another place like this in Richmond area. Thank you Stephen for an amazing job!!! Sully misses you already!

Boarded my cat here recently, after searching the entire Richmond market for a facility that would allow my boy to have time/space to roam, and wasn't charging $10 per 10 minutes of playing with him lol (I was boarding him for a week so I didn't want him all cooped up). So Montpelier it is! I LOVED that Pawscienda had the cat room where he could roam, scratch at posts, lie on the window perch and chill, etc. It was only $5 extra per day for him to enjoy the room. Well worth it. Plus, he's super friendly and just all-around a sweet boy, but tends to get nervous and timid in new situations -- so it was really nice when I called to check up on how he was doing (since it was his first time there) and they let me know that not only was he enjoying himself, and the company of the staff, they had actually posted a couple of pics on their Facebook so I got to see for myself! I definitely recommend them for boarding. We had a great experience! And BONUS: My cat is usually a super fast eater -- combined with the fact that he only has 1 remaining tooth of his bottom 4 center teeth, so it's hard for him to chew sometimes -- so he often regurgitates after eating. I don't know what they did or what the new setting did, but he is now taking his time on his meals (...eh...at least more-so than before haha) and it's great for the both of us!

We were referred to Pawcienda from a previous customer. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We took our 8 month old rescue dog there for obedience camp with Stephen. The whole experience was wonderful. Stephen explained everything very clearly and showed us how to continue his training at home. We enjoyed that we were able to visit part way through his training and see his progress; but we were really impressed when we returned at the completion of the training to a well behaved dog. We are so happy with the results and will definitely recommend Pawcienda to anyone looking for dog training/obedience.

My experience with PawsCienda has been wonderful. The staff are always smiling, polite, and respectful. Adonis (my 3 year old rescue pit bull/shepherd mix), was in need of some guidance. He is a loving dog, but he was mostly guided by his nose, the next big chase and any/all distractions. I was worried it would get him into some trouble. I explained his situation to Stephen and he was able to schedule Adonis in the two week obedience training program. I was given weekly updates and felt comfortable with the progress Adonis was making. I decided to have him stay for another two weeks to focus on distractions and off leash training. I never felt any pressure to add the extra two weeks. Again, I was given detailed updates and all my questions were answered. On the last day, I was provided with the tools to continue the training at home. Adonis, Stephen, and all of the staff exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this program!

We took our 7 month old Lab to PawsCienda while on vacation for two weeks. We were unfortunately thinking of re-homing her because we just couldn't get her to settle down. When we returned our dog was and still is AMAZING with her new learned and controlled behavior! She is so much happier and the pics they posted of our dog were so cute! Steve is the dog whisperer! We love him and the staff. He even worked with us! WELL worth every penny. We will return.

We picked up Copper (5mth female yellow lab) from a 4 week training session on Friday and WOW, she is a different dog (in a good way). We were concerned that when she got home she would forget her training. She was spot on. We took her to Lowe's, Home Depot, PetSmart and Cabalas and she had near perfect behavior. What was especially impressive is that in Home Depot and PetSmart she was led by our 10yr old daughter and 6 yr. old son with no issues. She listened to her commands without incident. She is calm and well-mannered but still has enough crazy puppy in her to have a great time with the kids. They were very worried about that. We even took her to Lake Chesdin to go out on the boat and without her leash or eCollar she stuck to us like glue even with the thousands of distractions. The marina was chaos and she was better behaved that most of the patrons there. Ha! Thank you Steven and Jeff for the great training. The only down side is she misses all of her four legged friends that she meet during her stay.

I love Dogguard/Steven. The invisible fencing he put in for my four pit bulls is awesome. I cannot express enough how prompt courteous and helpful Steven and the staff at PawsCienda have been to me. One of my dogs is a serious digger and was able to break the wiring twice. I called Steven and he was out the same day to fix the wiring. If you are ever thinking of invisible fencing I would highly recommend it and having Steven install it.

"Shorty just completed the month long pet obedience training with Stephen. Stephen did a wonderful job training Shorty. We adopted Shorty from Mom's Rescue and started our training journey with Petco. Half way through the training, the trainer quit. We then tried the SPCA beginning training course, but Shorty is very stubborn, and did not respond well. Our Mom's contact told us about PawsCienda Pet Resort training program, and we are so thankful! Shorty is an alpha dog and walking him in our neighborhood was a chore. He would pull on the lease, weave from side to side and bark uncontrollably at other dogs. He was very aggressive. We can now walk the neighborhood in an orderly manner. Shorty stays to the left side and no longer barks at other dogs. We are so pleased with the PawsCienda obedience training program and highly recommend them!"

I highly recommend Pawscienda for all your pets grooming needs. They are so welcoming from the time you walk into the front door. Our dogs are always beautiful when I pick them up. Thank you Amanda and girls up front for the smile on your face when you greet each and everyone as they come through the doors each and every morning. Big thank you goes to Meagan for all your effort that goes into caring and grooming each one of our dogs. Anyone that I leave out that works and takes care of things behind the scenes thank you all so very much for everything you do and all the hard work! We love Pawscienda you make life a little easier each month when it comes time for grooming our fur babies! May God Bless each and everyone. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

My daughter works here. The fact that she wants to go to work tells me these pets live like kings and queens.

Our Lab Kooper just completed the 4 week Obedience camp and my family is very pleased with his results. His trainer Steve did a great job of transforming our happy energetic dog into a happier well behaved energetic dog. Steve gave me constant updates for Kooper's progress and invited me to come see him and also teach me how to handle Kooper properly. I would highly reccomend this company and will continue to use their services. Thanks again, David.

My boy Flynn loves day camp at Pawcienda. He is a tired pup and always having a blast with his buddies at camp !!! The employees give report cards and it always makes my day seeing what he did and who he played with. Flynn loves the pool and sprinklers !!!

My 16 year old Westie hated going to the kennel but he loves going to PawsCienda. He used to implore us with sad looks not to leave him but now he ignores us and happily trots off to the kennel area without so much as a backward glance. Staff is wonderful and obviously love animals. I would give them 10 stars......

We brought our (then) 6 month highly active German Sheppard female pup, Lucy, for their month long training session. All staff were very professional; but special kudos to trainer Jeff Stoneman and Stephen Hoechst.. They transformed Lucy into a trained and responsive dog. More importantly, they trained "US" to continue the process so that Lucy further develops and matures. Many thanks. Consider this the highest recommendation for such a professesional team..
