Simple put, Pam is amazing! I can’t thank her enough. She really understands how dogs think and behave. Pam assessed my dog and then explained why he is behaving that way and how to correct both the dog and my reaction that was not be helping him. She made very positive changes that quickly affected my dogs behavior is a good way. He had “strange danger” fear and he also wanted to protect me. She figured it out and gave me the tools/knowledge to correct it. Within 3 sessions my dog was completely different around new people and other dogs. I no longer fear that my dog will bite someone. Even better, he now can walk in public without barking at everyone, he is getting quicker accepting new people at the house and allowing the vet to treat him. I have told everyone about Pam because I don’t think there is a behavioral issue she can’t fix. She is amazing and your dog is worth seeing her. Just call her!
Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and your staff for how last night's class turned out. I was nervous at the beginning with flashbacks of my “other” puppy class experience where they gave general directions (goals) without teaching specific strategies to achieve the goals, but as your class got going, you were giving specific tools/strategies and explaining the why's behind them which helps me a lot.
Seeing Mauney play with the others almost made me cry because I was so happy for him and relieved for myself to see him getting along with other dogs. I think he'll love having a little puppy at home to play with next month.
Thank you again so much! I look forward to seeing the progress Mauney and I can make during this session!
I’m so thrilled with how she has grown since we started with you!! You have a gift for sure! I will continue to sing your praises!

Pam has been a huge help with our pup, Remy. We were looking for guidance on how to understand her behaviors including stranger danger, lack of confidence, and being scared of the car. Pam was amazing and helped us understand Remy’s behaviors and body language, reassuring us immensely. She was patient with us and Remy as we all learned new skills. We are looking forward to taking a confidence class with Pam and putting Remy’s new skills to the test!

The walking technique you taught us on Tuesday is working well for us. It’s like a miracle! Thank you so much for helping us get to know our new family member.
You are truly a blessing to our dog-loving family!

I just wanted to comment on your class. Drake and I had our 1st class last night.
You & Carlie did an amazing job, the class size is ideal and I left last night and messaged my husband on the way home "Now that's a dog class"
Complete 180 from a previous experience and Drake and I look forward to the coming weeks.
"My dog was attacked by a loose dog while I was walking him in my neighborhood. He died within 36 hours of his injuries. I was traumatized. Months later we got a new dog and I soon realized I was afraid to walk her in my neighborhood. We took her to Pam's training class and when Pam saw how scared I was about having my dog amongst other dogs, she zoomed in and worked closely with me on reading dog's body language, leash control and trusting canine interactions until there was a reason not to trust them. She taught me strategies on how to correct negative dog interaction. I still am more nervous than most around multiple dogs, but I'm comfortable walking my new dog in my neighborhood. Pam is a strong and confident dog training, and I was comfortable working through my fears with her by my side.”

"Our St Bernard-mix puppy (Brewer) recently graduated from Pam’s AKC Star Puppy Certification course and we could not be happier! We love how Pam provides both group and 1-on-1 instruction and is always available for help or questions outside of class. She also takes into consideration each dogs’ breed and will give you breed-specific things to look for or work on, if necessary. It is obvious that she is passionate about her work, and truly wants every dog to live their best life! Not only that, but she also educates the handler on how to best support their dog. We are so looking forward to beginning the Canine Good Citizen class and working with you again! Thank you, Pam!"
