16 Paws LLC

16 Paws LLC Welcome! My name is Emily. I'm a canine behaviorist living in beautiful Wilmington, NC. Here's to our journey together!
(3)

16 Paws Paradise started in 2018 and is a locally owned business located in Wilmington, NC who provides specialized dog training and daycare designed to rehabilitate pet dogs displaying signs of reactivity, aggression, and anxiety. I've had dogs all my life and in 2018, I quit my job and pursued my lifelong dream of running a doggy daycare. I primarily work with clients that have been kicked out o

f "big box" daycares and those told by other trainers they couldn't be helped. I specialize in rehabilitating pet dogs displaying reactivity/aggressive behaviors, anxiety and other stubborn behavioral issues. I call my daycare the land of weirdos and misfits, and I wouldn't have it any other way! My goal in our training sessions, is to impart you with the tools, tricks and body language to help you develop that relationship with your dog. I look forward to working with you and helping you cultivate your own Zen dog!

My buddies for the weekend, my 1 year old 8 lbs cat aka "King of the Entire World", 150 lbs of my 2 year old Great Dane and a 15 year old Golden retriever we all just met yesterday... This is gonna be interesting! 🤦‍♀️😂😂😂🥰

So for some uncanine news... Ponga misses her kitty so much and her last dog walker has rescued a perfect match for her, so the 16paws family is officially adding a new member of staff! Meet Simon! ❤️❤️❤️

He will be joining us as of this weekend to help Ponga with her duties of keeping me sane and whomping her crazy ass friends about the head 😂

In all seriousness, he's got to be the most unbothered cat I've ever met. He just watched Ponga as if he were watching a Jurassic Park movie and when she got too close he said "no" and she said "ok." The golden retriever in the crate below him was going berserkers and neither Ponga nor Simon was phased, even though I was a bit startled! They only saw each other!❤️

Of course, it will be slow going at first, it's hard for a 10 # beastie to accept an 151 # beastie, but they'll definitely be besties in no time flat. Stay tuned for reels and pics of my gorgeous boy and their evolving friendship! We can't wait to have you here Simon!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️😻

I was participating in a seminar for dog trainers today and the topic of role model dogs came up. The fellow giving the lecture mentioned how it's a very particular temperament that makes that type of dog and he knows trainers who, years after their role model dog have passed on, still talk about "that one." As many of you know, I chose Ponga for her temperament in hopes she could fill that role. But when she got home she proved to be too passive (though she still helps massively in other ways!). And thankfully I'm blessed to get to work with Bella ( ).

But I'm convinced no dog can ever fill the shoes of my Cota! He was the ultimate role model dog and always heart of my hearts! I could not be the human that I am today and quite honestly 16 Paws wouldn't exist without the help of my big ol benevolently bossy boy! Thank you Cota!! From myself and all the lives that have been changed from all you taught me ❤️❤️❤️ I love you always big guy! 🐾

Threshold manners in action! The #1 most important thing we learn at doggie daycare! This practice can save your dog's life. 🤓

Give a [giant] dog a [horse] ball... 😂😂😂 It's 95 and beyond out humid otherwise we wouldn't be doing this in my living room, but I hope it gives you as many giggles as it did me!

There is nothing on this Earth quite like being loved by a giant dog, just ask Bella 🥰❤️❤️
