5/5

Excellent dog trainer, knowledge beyond the average dog trainers I've worked with in the past. She had a sixth sense with working with my dog with severe issues. She was my 4th trainer for my dog and fixed all the problems 4 other dog trainers failed at. I can recommend her enough and will be forever grateful for her knowledge and helping me and my dog!

I can’t say enough good things about Bridgett at Pawsome Pups Dog Training. When we first started, Winnie was shy and unsure of herself, but through patience, positive reinforcement, and a deep understanding of dog behavior, Bridgett has completely transformed her. Winnie now greets new situations with more confidence and enthusiasm, and she’s learned an impressive list of skills—everything from basic obedience to polite leash manners. What sets Bridgett apart is not just technical knowledge but the ability to read a dog’s personality and adjust methods accordingly. Training sessions are always upbeat and engaging, and Winnie clearly looks forward to them—her tail starts wagging the moment she sees Bridgett. I’ve also learned so much as an owner: clear, easy-to-follow tips for reinforcing good behavior at home have made a world of difference. If you’re looking for a trainer who can bring out the best in your dog with kindness, skill, and genuine care, I wholeheartedly recommend Bridgett at Pawsome Pups Dog Training. Winnie is happier, more confident, and better behaved thanks to her guidance.

I would definitely recommend training with Bridget. We will be going to our sixth follow up training session today, and the leaps my dog has made are impressive. My dog has been very dog reactive and yesterday she was able to walk past a dog significantly larger than her and stay focused on me. Bridget's dog, Enya, is a super star at helping nervous dogs learn that it is safe to be around other dogs. Bridget has helped guide both me and my dog (mostly me) step by step on on how to build trust, communicate more clearly, and how to use the commands learned to keep my dog's focus on me instead of other dogs/people. I have learned so much about my own body language, what I am communicating to my dog, and how that will lead to certain behaviors. I am starting to pick up on my mistakes and correct them quickly in just five follow up sessions. We will complete our training with Bridget this week, but the tools we have learned will only continue to improve my dog's behavior in all aspects of life. Our walks are already easier. One thing that Bridget really helped me see is when my dog is testing the waters- my dog has a mischievous attitude and likes to see what she can get away with. In the past I have misinterpreted this as my dog not knowing what to do, but now I see that she knows! I appreciated the way Bridget uses positive reinforcement and corrective noises, as an owner of a nervous dog, I wanted to avoid trainers using any excessive force to get the dog to obey. I found the right trainer for my dog in Bridget.

Bridget is very professional, kind but firm with the puppy. Very consistent in her training. Bridget is clear setting training expectations and produces desired results. Would recommend!

Bridget is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and corrected several bad behaviors for our puppy. She is caring, and does what is best for the dog she is training. I highly recommend her services.
