Bridget took the time with my anxious puppy and by then end of the session, she was very relaxed! Looking forward to continuing her training! Highly recommend Bridget!!!

We brought our 6 month old Blue Heeler “Blue” to Bridget and we couldn’t believe the progress she made with her in the first session. Blue has fear issues we’re trying to overcome and Bridget was able to get close to her and work with her in the first hour! We previously took Blue to a Puppy Kindergarten class and the other trainer was not able to get close to Blue in the 5 weeks. We trust Bridget and love that it’s a happy and safe place for Blue. We strongly encourage everyone to work with a Positive Trainer and you will find that with Bridget. We are excited to take this adventure with Bridget and cannot say enough great things!

Our vet recommended Bridget-Pawsome Pups dog Training and couldn't be happier! We did 10 private lessons with our Blue Heeler who has fear issues. We have a completely different dog now. Bridget took the time to gain Blues trust and the outcome is incredible! We purchased a new harness, books and of course the peanut butter stick (designed by Bridget) that we will use every day. We are excited to bring Blue back for more training and summer swim time in her pool. We highly recommend Positive Trainers and you will get that with Bridget. We are so thankful we found her!

Bridget has been an amazing help for me learning how to interact with dogs. My girlfriend has had dogs before but I haven't and Bridget's classes this year have really made me more comfortable. She not only helps your puppy learn good manners and habits, but also gave us insight at every step; telling us what exactly we were doing and how it worked all as a part of positive reenforcement training. (No shock/choke/prong collars) Bridget did more than train our dog, she also trained us every step of the way. We brought our puppy home at 9 weeks and immediately started with the level 1 puppy kindergarten class, where we learned the basics like sit, down, and getting him used to walking next to us in a harness. Bridget is very clear in her direction and will correct you when you are making a mistake that will lead to bad habits...which we both greatly appreciate. With the success we felt in the first puppy class we went on to take every class Bridget had to offer us, including the very fun out on the town class where we walked Harper's Ferry and built up both our and our puppy's confidence of walking on leash, from trails with deer and squirrels to crowded town streets with other dogs and traffic. Thanks to Bridget's instruction, our puppy is now AKC Canine Good Citizen Certified! He is very well behaved out on our walks in Frederick and Harper's Ferry and I feel much more confident taking him anywhere we go.

I have so appreciated Bridget's help on so many things, even before we started the classes. The classes have been so informative, and always positive for the dogs. That is important to me. My pup is a Golden aged 16 weeks and is doing so well with his training. Highly recommended.
