FirstBarkI met Pam at a class I took at golden opportunities for independence (GOFI) where she trains therapy dogs and teachers group classes. I enjoyed her so much that I decided to also do two rounds of private training packages! It was worth every penny. Now my neighbor uses her too! She couldn’t possibly be more patient, kind or helpful.

Pam helped me with my dog Ginger, who has separation anxiety issues. Separation anxiety is one of the most difficult training issues to resolve. Pam was great at coming up with specific training plans after each session and was always available for tips and feedback. I plan to buy more sessions after the holidays!

We had very positive experience with Pam Brown from Down 4 Paws Dog Training. She worked well with us and our lab puppy Lucy, and gave us the tools that we needed to understand and positively correct behaviors like jumping and barking when greeting people. Pam is warm, friendly and easy to work with and accommodated our work schedules for our training sessions. We highly recommend her and her services.
Pam was incredibly informative and I would recommend her services to anyone in need. Ginger adored her and we both learned alot! The endless support and tips Pam provided are really what we were looking for in training. Thanks Pam!
Our Rottweiler puppy just completed her 10 sessions! Miss Pam was a pleasure to work with. Training came easily to our pup and she loved being with Miss Pam, eagerly awaiting her next task. Our trainer listened and addressed our concerns, gave thorough feedback, and put forth a positive attitude each session. We (more so the pup) will miss having Miss Pam around!
