OUR HISTORY - SO FAR



'Thunderpaws' was originally one of Ipha's nicknames. She earned for the astonishing sound she make running across the porch.

Hepzibah founded Thunderpaws Canine Solutions, LLC in 2006 as a home-based dog training business.

Seeing a need and an opportunity, we moved to our current downtown location. At this time, our fabulous Grooming Department and Boutique were added.

Since that time, we have expanded to a team of 6 employees

We have commitment to doing what is right - for dogs, our clients, our employees and our community.

We are so proud to be a part of Seguin's historic downtown.

Some of the things that we've done since opening:

  • Raised well over $100,000 for local charities
  • Downtowner of the Year 2011 (Seguin's Main Street Program)
  • Sponsored & Organized the Dog Ambassador of Seguin Election
