Dogs are truly extraordinary beings, offering unconditional love, unwavering loyalty, and
boundless joy. As Brody's owners, we've experienced firsthand the profound impact a well-
trained and responsibly handled working breed dog can have on a family. Brody, our Rottweiler,
has enriched our lives in countless ways, from providing endless companionship to simply
making us smile every single day. We understand the deep connection owners have with their
dogs, the challenges that can arise, and the importance of proper training to unlock their full
potential.
Our Journey with Paws First
When we got Brody as a very small puppy he had been removed from his mother, and was never
given the opportunity to properly grow or learn with his siblings. We were connected to Paws
First through a trusted friend, after having discouraging visits with veterinarians who focused
more on his breed’s reputation, than him and his potential. It quickly became our goal to commit
to his success, and we wanted to make sure we provided Brody the support he needed to be
successful. Meeting Nicole, and incorporating Paws First training into the first year of his life,
was nothing short of life-changing for him – and for us. They gave our family, the expertise, and
dedicated support he needed to become the amazing dog he is today. We saw firsthand how their
approach transformed him, allowing his best qualities to shine through. Nicole and her Paws
First team is kind, knowledgeable, supportive, and personalizes their approach to meet the needs
of your dog and your family. After our very first session, we felt relief, and became re-focused
with a clear approach to reach Brody’s goals. Their team’s care and confidence empowers
owners, and their dog(s), in a way that can not be achieved otherwise.
The Brody's Best Friend Scholarship
Having experienced this incredible transformation, and a deep belief in the power of responsible
training through Paws First, we are so incredibly proud to establish The Brody's Best Friend
Scholarship. A well-trained and responsibly handled working breed dog can be an incredible
asset, enriching lives in countless ways, from providing companionship to offering vital
assistance. We understand the profound impact these special dogs have on their Families, and the
importance of proper training to unlock their full potential. Paws First provided Brody the
expertise, and support, to help him become the amazing dog he is today. This scholarship aims to
extend that same life-changing opportunity to other working breed owners. Dog owners who,
like Our family, are dedicated to their dog's success but may face financial barriers to accessing
the specialized training they need. We hope this scholarship helps other families experience the
same joy and fulfillment that Brody has brought into our lives. Every good family deserves a
good dog, and every dog deserves the opportunity.
With Love, Brody & his family
