Paige has been an animal lover for as long as she can remember. Over the years, she has cared for everything from goats, poultry, pigs, and horses to amphibians and small animals—but dogs have always been where her passion lies.
Even from a young age, Paige was always finding something new to teach her own dogs. Whether she was setting up homemade agility courses, practicing obedience, or teaching them her version of “show dog” skills, training and working with dogs was something she naturally gravitated toward long before she ever considered making it a career.
At 16, Paige couldn’t wait to begin working with dogs professionally. She started at a commercial dog training, boarding, and daycare facility, where she gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and training levels—from Chihuahuas and Yorkies to Great Danes and Newfoundlands.
During her time there, she learned far more than just how to train dogs. She gained experience reading dog body language, managing groups of dogs, providing daily care, feeding, cleaning, exercising dogs, and working with a variety of training methods. She also completed the facility’s training apprentice program and has since spent time shadowing multiple trainers, taking something valuable from each one and continuing to build her own training style.
While working in a commercial boarding environment, Paige realized she wanted to offer something different. Dogs are already away from their families and familiar routines when they board, and she felt they deserved more individualized attention and care—not attention that depended on purchasing additional services.
That became the foundation for Price Dog Training and Boarding: a small, home-based environment where dogs receive personalized care, exercise, enrichment, structure, and affection without getting lost in a large facility.
Every dog is different, and Paige believes their care should reflect that. Days are tailored to each dog’s personality, energy level, training, and individual needs and may include physical exercise, mental enrichment, training, outdoor adventures, play, downtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
The goal is for each dog to feel safe, comfortable, fulfilled, and genuinely enjoy their time here, while giving their owners peace of mind knowing their dog is receiving attentive, individualized care.
Dogs have always been a huge part of Paige’s life outside of work, too. On her rare days off, you’ll most likely still find her with her own dogs—exploring, hiking, camping, or finding somewhere new to adventure together.
