We were referred to Pawsome Pups Dog Training by our Behavioralist Veterinarian and we couldn’t be happier. My dog Bailey has anxiety and PTSD. We’ve worked a bit with other trainers as well, but she hadn’t been making much progress. We started working with Bridget and saw immediate improvements with her behavior and listening. Each session Bailey starts off nervous and by the end she is relaxed and loving all over Bridget. My other dog Charlie just started training and this is his first professional training he’s improving and connecting but is also nervous. Bridget has improved our human training and understanding of our dogs each time as well. We look forward to the progress that we all make each time.

Bridgit is super. Watching her work with my 12 week old puppy has taught me so much. He is learning quickly - I am taking a little longer. Bridget is patient with both of us. I will finish my puppy course with lots of techniques to practice with Rusty. I will definitely consider the "Manners" class when he gets a little older.

Miss Bridget is taking our sweet and ferocious puppy and turning him into a wonderful gentleman of a dog. She knows his breeds needs, trained this mama to be less of a helicopter parent to her fur baby, and is working on giving our Snoopy confidence and a repertoire of commands he'll use forever. And the amazing thing is she's doing it all harmlessly with positive reinforcements; no shock or choke collar for these lil pups! The facility is massive and leaves room for so much growth and even more learning and training. Blessed and grateful to have found Pawsome Pups.

We just adopted a young Great Pyrenees dog with a gruesome history. At a year and a half he has had no socialization or training. As he is a large breed known for their stubbornness, and having owned 5 of these dogs previously we understand the need for training, even though he basically seems a very sweet dog. Because of his horrible start (left to starve in a field where his sibling and some goats were found dead) we wanted to work with someone who emphasized positive reinforcement. Bridget has fit the bill perfectly with a calm, encouraging, but firm touch. She has gained his trust and, just as important, communicates well to us what we need to do. We look forward to having a happy, well-balanced dog at the end of the leash! Thank you, Bridget!

I took our dog Frankie to Bridget after he started showing his teeth and snapping at me and my husband. Bridget assessed Frankie and provided us a greater understanding of the meaning of his behavior and our participation in it. She provided us with tools for our continued work with Frank and his presenting problem, along with overall training in becoming clearer communicators with Frank. I was despairing prior to our first session, and now I feel hopeful that we can have fun and live peacefully with Frankie again. Bridget is clearly an expert and passionate about her work.
