Pam was the third trainer I hired to work with my reactive dog Ralph. I didn’t have much hope since he wasn’t making any progress with the last two trainers we worked with. Pam was so patient with me, Ralph and also my two young children. She made it a family effort to help Ralph and my kids loved being involved. When we first met with Pam my dog couldn’t even see another dog while going for a walk or he would go crazy. Lunging, barking and pulling making it very hard for me to control him. After working with Pam we can now successfully walk past other dogs without Ralph reacting and can even walk nicely next to me while I push a stroller! We also recently have been going on group walks with other dogs which has been great! Thank you so much Pam!
I highly recommend Pam as a trainer. She has been working to help us train our dog since he was 8 weeks old and she has been incredibly helpful every step of the way. He is now almost 11 months old and just completed his CGC. We are so glad that we chose Pam as she has been the best trainer we could ask for!

Pam is a great trainer and I would highly recommend her to anyone with a new dog. Our rescue dog, Jacques, loved each and every weekly training session with her. During his training, Jacques solidified his obedience skills such as sitting, staying, laying down, etc. and also was able to make several dog friends during sessions at the local park. He's gained a lot of confidence because of Pam's help and we're really thankful for her work with Jacques, and for the tips and tricks for his training that we practice each week.
Pam is a true dog whisperer . Zelda gets so excited when Pam comes in they have to cuddle for 10 minutes before we can even start her lessons. We have learned so much from Pam and Zelda is responding fabulously. I would recommend Pam to anyone having issues with their precious fur babies or just wanting to train them in general. Thank you Pam
