We use paws'itive reinforcement to reach even the most poorly mannered dogs.
We cultivate the trust of the dog to facilitate a teaching method for the “furrent” (furparent/owner) and the canine companion.
There are numerous methods that are used in training our furry life-partners, however we believe that dogs primary focus is on the resource; thus we use paws'itive reinforcement of food, touch, and verbal praise.
When you join the Pal Pack you can feel assured that you are gaining knowledge as to how to work with your furfamily with compassion and care, with respect and reverence, and most of all in the language that your dog is speaking until they learn your language.

I would like to share my experience with Lauren and her team. They are absolutely AMAZING!! Not only did she train my 2 year old German Shepard . I took him to 2 other trainers and a board/train here in Penn Valley and absolutely no change in his problem behavior. He actually came back worse and the trainer referred me to a trainer in Yuba City. He came back aggressive towards other dogs and I could no longer walk him. Within 2 days of the socializing class my pup was no longer wearing a muzzle, so laying very well with all the other dogs. I then put him though her obedience class. He graduated and off lead test down town!! My pup is absolutely a joy and I able to take him with me everywhere!
I ended up going on a vacation so I had to leave our old dog with her. She is set in her ways, hated all other dogs, barked fir no reason! The most annoying dog…but she’s my special needs daughters dog. I’ve tried everything for 10 years to change her behavior. I picked her up my amazement she no longer barks all day long for no reason! The first day she was off her muzzle and started interacting with other dogs. By the time I picked them up she was playing with the pack! I strongly recommend Lauren and her team! Lauren has a gift she has shared with her team! I can’t tell you how pleasant my house is!!

They do a good job, but since they have so many dogs now they clearly have favorites. If you watch the videos on FB and your dog isn't a favorite you probably won't see them in action.

I was doubtful at first that there was anybody who could help me get my newly adopted pup to behave and act like a dog instead of being terrified of everything and barking relentlessly whenever he saw another person or dog but thanks to Lauren and her crew my dog is slowly coming around. I see a difference every day. The half day socialization option is amazing and a good way to get my dog some exercise and training while I’m at work. I’m also doing the basic obedience class and so far it’s easy to take what is taught there and apply it at home. Highly recommend.
