From the first time I met Bre with Transition Dog Training, I knew I wanted to sign up for her beginner course. She was kind, gave positive feedback about the foundation I built with my pup, gave some free pointers, and didn’t push or try to “sell” her course. After 5 weeks of class, my puppy has more commands under her belt and loves to learn! Bre is great about answering questions and offering support in and out of class and I’m excited to continue into the next session.

After a few sessions with other trainers in the region we finally came across Transition Dog Training. We had what we thought were large and complex goals of having our dog comfortable off leash with consistent recall, less in home barking, figuring out her reactive nature with other dogs and and getting her to be able to calm down and just relax somewhere. I can't say we're more shocked about how fast Brenna has brought us to those goals. We assumed at least two maybe three times the amount of sessions then we've already had. I can say our life with our dog and her personality has absolutely changed for the better in a shocking fast amount of time. Transition dog training (Brenna) was able to listen, diagnose, and come up with solutions that have effectively solved problems we had been ripping our hair out about. She's always on time, always listens, provides great feedback and an instruction homework sheet at the end of every visit. It's clear, this owner has significant experience with dog training methods and doesn't focus on the forceful training style (be the alpha dog no matter what mentality) we had seen with previous trainers. After feeling like there wasn't a trainer that was going to work, we can't be more happy with our experience here. Myself, my partner and my dog all highly recommend!

I have known Bre for many years. When I found out she was coming back to the northeast and starting training classes at Pawskies I signed up my new puppy immediately. We drive over an hour from Massachusetts every week to learn from the best, Bre is the best in my opinion. She is focused on each individual dog and helps each owner with their own specific needs. Dog training is not “cookie cutter” I knew right away my pup needed different tools and Bre has helped me utilize these to set us up for success. She has also been available between classes to help answer any questions or concerns I have had without judgement. She understands that all dogs are not created equal and neither is their training. I cannot say enough about how grateful I am to have her assist us on our journey.
