Partnering Paws

I reached out to Ashley's Partnering Paws for help with a small mixed breed dog that had been rescued from a backyard breeder. Our little Lady was very anxious, even on meds, and very mistrusting of men, including my husband. Lady was 4 months old when she was rescued along with 42 other little dogs from a neglectful and abusive backyard breeder. We adopted her at 6 months of age. She was a terrified little mess. She and I bonded relatively quickly, but she was still terrified of the world. Our vet suggested that we find a gentle, compassionate trainer who could help us with her fear and anxiety and help her feel safe for the first time in her life. Ashley was just what the doctor ordered. She guided my husband and I in Lady's medication needs, helpful techniques of dealing with her stress, guidance of what we were doing right and what we should try next. She was a true partner in our journey, and while Lady is still a little anxious girl, we now have all the tools and methods we need to help her through any issues that arise. She is a very different dog from a year ago and we have Ashley's encouragement and guidance to thank for that. I will be forever grateful to this amazing young woman for her services. We plan on staying in touch with her in case of any future issues, but also mostly because we really like her. Thank you, Ashley!!

This weekend I found myself in need of some quick puppy council. While I haven’t yet had the opportunity to work directly with Ashley, she was an incredible support to me on short notice, offering articles and direction at at time when I was feeling overwhelmed with the nippiness of puppy teething! I can tell through her quick and sincere communication how dedicated she is to her craft and how much she cares about our fur babies! I definitely look forward to connecting with her again soon!! In summary, Ashley is a wonderful resource for our community! Highly Recommended!!!

My experience with Ashley was more than I could of dreamt. The amount of thought, patience and consideration in every action she took with me and my pup was so lovely. The 6 week puppy course I took is way more than simple commands. It is about using simple tools to build a complex loving relationship with your dog, isn't that what we all want? I am so happy that my pup had such a important learning experience and a foundational support system. Everything I learned with Ashley I will be utilizing everyday with my pup. I am so happy I took this course. Highly recommend!

We could not be more pleased with our experience with Partnering Paws. Ashley's wealth of knowledge and patience to work with us and our dog was nothing short of extraordinary. Her attention to detail and her in depth explanations made our training experience not just enjoyable but was an amazing learning experience. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking to work with their dog in integrating them into their household. She is so much more than what you would expect of a trainer. Her love for the dogs shines through in everything she does.
