Las Vegas Dog Training
About Paws N Recreation
Paws N Recreation is a specialized dog training and dog boarding service in Las Vegas’ Mountains Edge community. We dedicate ourselves to caring for high-drive, working-breeds such as Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, herders, collies, pointers, field-line retrievers, spaniels, terriers, and other active mixes. We understand that some dogs need more than a neighborhood stroll — they need purpose, challenge, and space to be the dogs they were bred to be. Our dog training programs are designed to channel energy, sharpen focus, and build dependable skills through guided outdoor work, problem solving, and real-world training.
Who we serve
We offer dog training and boarding serviced to the Mountain’s Edge, Southern Highlands and Summerlin communities.

Training approach
We build a strong relationship with your dog using play, toys, movement, food, and the surrounding environment. By tapping into your dog’s natural breed instincts and tendencies, we shape behaviors that fit real-world expectations. Our program emphasizes clear communication, precise reward timing, purposeful luring, leash skills, and cooperative play to manage and navigate real-time situations. Exercises are introduced in progressive stages, advancing only when the dog shows understanding, control, and consistent performance. This staged approach develops control, reliability, and confidence in the very environments your dog will encounter.
Why owners choose us
Owners choose us because we specialize in high-drive working breeds, tailoring training to their specific needs rather than offering generic obedience. Our programs prioritize practical, reliable behaviors that matter most—solid recall, impulse control, cooperative work, and engagement in public settings. Dogs are trained and cared for by an IAABC-accredited trainer with extensive experience in dog sports, working-dog environments, and real-world behavior management. We set transparent expectations through clear assessments and individualized plans so owners understand the process and how to support their dog’s progress.
