All Paws Training by CoolWag was built on the belief that every dog deserves to be understood, supported, and given the chance to succeed. Our training philosophy is rooted in patience, consistency, and creating an environment where dogs feel safe enough to learn and confident enough to grow.
That belief came to life through Bucky.
Bucky came to us as a fearful street dog—unsure of people, overwhelmed by everyday environments, and unable to trust the world around him. Through time, thoughtful structure, and a commitment to meeting him where he was, Bucky began to change. What started as quiet moments of coexistence and simple games turned into trust, confidence, and connection.
As Bucky grew, so did our understanding of how powerful the right environment and approach can be. His transformation from a frightened rescue to a confident companion, training partner, and dock diving competitor is a reflection of what’s possible when dogs are given clear communication, consistency, and purpose.
Today, that same philosophy guides every service we offer—from private lessons and group classes to on-site training programs and specialty workshops. Bucky’s journey is not just part of our story; it’s the foundation of how we train, teach, and support every dog and owner who comes through the CoolWag campus.
Bucky’s story is just one example of what’s possible when dogs are given patience, structure, and the right environment. Since then, we’ve worked with countless dogs who arrived fearful, overwhelmed, or unsure—many of them carrying stories just like his.
Our mission at All Paws Training by CoolWag is to help dogs build confidence, develop clear communication, and find success in the world around them. We believe that with consistency, understanding, and thoughtful training, dogs can overcome challenges and thrive alongside their owners.
Every program we offer is guided by this belief, whether we’re helping a puppy build strong foundations, supporting a dog through behavior challenges, or developing advanced skills and enrichment. Bucky showed us what’s possible—and every dog we work with continues to reinforce why we do what we do.
Our mission is carried out by a dedicated team of trainers and staff who are passionate about helping dogs succeed. Each member of our team brings experience, patience, and a shared commitment to supporting both dogs and their owners every step of the way.
Together, we create the environment, guidance, and care that make transformation possible.
