My husband and I hired Pam to do at home dog training because our schedules are so busy. We have a new pup and a much older dog. Our pup needed help with basic obedience and our older dog needed some brushing up on his manners. Pam was very nice to work with! She was on time to every scheduled appointment and our dogs loved her! She would listen to our questions and address our needs as needed. She gave us great dog training tips to continue to use on our own time. We’d highly recommend Pam to anyone looking for a dog trainer!

Working with Pam was awesome. She is an excellent dog Trainer and really knows what she is doing. She was sensitive to our needs and bonded quickly and easily with our dog. I would highly recommend hiring her for any dog that needs quality training. Tim

Pam was FANTASTIC! She got our very wonderful but very anxious and energetic Australian cattle dog well trained in just two months. Highly recommend.

Having Pam come for in-home training was the best decision we made since we brought our new puppy home in March! He’s a little shy, but with her calmness, knowledge and patience, he’s really flourished. The tools and techniques we learned, along with her continued follow-up and support, have given us the confidence we need to raise a happy, well-adjusted dog.
