We have a golden retriever puppy & started working with Deb when he was around 12 weeks old. We saved our last session until right after he turned 1 year old. It was something Deb suggested & worked amazing for our dog. It helped us lay all the ground work for him as a puppy and then gave us several months to work and be consistent with training. Then, at the end we could talk more about long term goals, what worked, what we can change, etc. Deb didn’t just help us train Jeter, she helped us train the dog that will specifically fit our lifestyle. We are a young couple with an active lifestyle (working, traveling, hiking, etc). She tailored all his training towards those things. We met in public places (beach, boardwalk), with other dogs, and within our home. When things became stagnant, she always had tools to push us/Jeter. We cannot say enough good things! We have such a pleasant teenage dog now and although we still have to remain consistent with training, he is truly a joy in our lives. We get compliments on his behavior often! We can have guests & other dogs over, take walks/hikes, travel with him and more. She helped him become the perfect addition to our lives! Highly recommend.Posted on Google
David SobelI can't say enough good things about Deb and how she helped us train our lab puppy. She helped us understand our puppy's needs and gave us all kinds of methods to help mold our puppy's behavior to that of an adult dog. She is kind, thoughtful and always available for questions about what to do in different situations. Anyone looking for a dog trainer need look no more as Deb is more than up for tue challenge. Thanks Deb!Posted on Google
Beth Ann MarrenDeb was extremely helpful with training our puppy! We benefited greatly from her expertise and so did our pup! We want to stress how patient Deb is in answering all questions and concerns. She truly tailors her training to meet the needs you have with your dog. She is very generous with her time and advise. We highly recommend her services!Posted on Google

Nilsa OquendoI cannot say enough great things about Pepper’s Paws Dog Training and Deb. From the moment she walked into our home, it was clear she truly understands dogs of all ages and personalities. I have a 5-year-old Maltipoo who can be very barky and a high-energy Mini Aussie puppy who loves to jump, and Deb immediately knew exactly how to handle both of them — calmly, confidently, and with so much patience. What impressed me most was how much I learned in just our first session. Deb didn’t just show me what to do — she explained why certain behaviors were happening and how to manage them effectively in everyday life. It was eye-opening and incredibly empowering as a dog owner. She went above and beyond by recommending helpful puppy training apps, setting up a training session with her own puppy to assess socialization, and always following up with detailed emails and training videos that reinforced everything we learned. Those follow-ups made such a difference and really helped us stay consistent. One thing that truly stood out was how thoughtful Deb was about our whole family. She even provided an age-appropriate video for my 8-year-old to watch, teaching her how to read dog body language and understand when not to engage — which I found incredibly valuable and responsible. Deb is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping both dogs and owners succeed. I would highly recommend Pepper’s Paws Dog Training to anyone with a new puppy or an older dog who needs a little extra guidance. This experience exceeded my expectations in every way.Posted on Google
Jenn ClausiusHired Pepper’s Paws to help us train our rambunctious puppy. We started to see a difference after one class. Deb was always on time and totally focused on our little guy. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Google
Eric PetersonDeb is truly terrific, and she accomplished in four short sessions what I’d been unable to for a few years. My dog didn’t have huge behavioral issues, but would get a little overwhelmed and overexcited when visitors came to the house. With Deb’s help, we quickly developed some routines that gave the dog an opportunity to focus and be calm(er). Of course, what we call dog training is actually human training. But Deb not only trains humans well, but she explains the dog’s perspective, so it becomes obvious why some methods work and others fail. I’m very grateful that my friends referred her to me and I’m happy to recommend her myself.Posted on Google
Laura O'SheaDeb Murray deserves all of those 5-star reviews she gets! She's a wonderful trainer who has helped us so much with our Havanese pup, particularly with some potty training and separation anxiety issues we were dealing with.Posted on Google
Scott MarkerWe engaged Deb for training of our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. We also have an Australian Shepherd and Boxer Shepherd Mix. Deb worked with us, not only train the puppy, but also to help with the overall interaction between the 3 dogs. Deb provided us with a lot of useful information for the ongoing training of all dogs. I would highly recommend Deb's services.Posted on Google
Debra SaundersDeb Murray is somewhat of a dog trainer/lifesaver wrapped into one. The knowledge you gain when you use her services for your puppy is invaluable. Always follows up her session with videos of what you worked on that day. If you live in Rehoboth or any of the surrounding areas and mention your excellent dog trainer, most people say, oh Deb Murray, she’s the best!!
