We took our 5 1/2 yr old German Shephard to Bridget for some fine tuning on some behavioral issues that we needed help with. Our little girl is a very stubborn young lady and Bridget was able to turn her around and let her know she can not be manipulated or intimated during her training sessions. Bridget is very patient , caring, and very knowledgeable with teaching her routines thru commands and hand signals. The training sessions are very interactive to teach us the skills we needed to reinforce her training. We highly recommend Bridget for your dog training needs. Thank you so much. Don and Kathy

We highly recommend Pawsome Pups for your furbabies. Getting help from a professional is not cheap, but we needed help, because we were faced with the decision of rehoming one of our dogs due to behavior. We scoured the internet for trainers, comparing prices, reviews, certifications, and methods. Our dog is reactive, fearful, and anxious. We were worried about sending her somewhere where they use shock collars and keep her for 4-6 weeks. We picked Bridget initially for her use of positive reinforcement, but the deal was sealed when we talked to her. She explained what the certifications are and which ones you want to look for. She also explained the difference between training methods, and we loved her no-nonsense (and often blunt) personality. We needed that because we didn’t realize how much we had spoiled our girl and had no idea what we were doing. She taught us how to communicate with our dog and how positive reinforcement doesn’t mean all sunshine and rainbows. We were able to take the tools Bridget gave us to use on our 17 month old looney toon as well. We can’t say thank you enough, Bridget!

I am so happy that we found Pawsome Pups Dog Training and Bridget. I recently adopted an American Bully with a challenging past, and his lack of confidence has posed training difficulties. Bridget's dedication to positive reinforcement training is exactly what my dog needed. She not only works with my dog but also patiently teaches me how to help him overcome his past traumas. Even after just a few sessions, the progress we have made is evident. Bridget's approach, her empathy, and the progress we've made together have been incredible. I highly recommend working with Bridget at Pawsome Pups if you want the best for your beloved pet!

Bridget with Pawsome Pups is AWESOME! She is very thorough, not only did my Labrador Retriever’s training improve, I also learned a lot myself and how to better communicate with my dog. She was able to nip his jumping in the butt right on the first day. I am pleased with the results from the training in just under 10 days, HIGHLY recommend Bridget’s training!

Where do I start? My dogs name is Lola she is 4 months old. She is an Aussie and very smart .We are on our 5 day of training with Bridget and because Lola has done so well Lola gets to sit back and take it easy. Me on the other hand I have to go through the obstacle course on my own with my pretend dog who’s name is also Lola while 2 sets of eyes are watching me. I am not even close to the level of progress that Lola has shown in her 5 days of class .Every day Bridget reminds me just how smart Lola is. Then she turns to me and I know it’s not going to be good. Did I tell you I am 64 years old . I hope that there is not a test at the end of our training. If there is I might have to call out sick. Bridget has been wonderful and Lola loves going to class you know the type teachers pet. I have learned a lot this being my first dog.I am glad I found Pawsome pups and Bridget otherwise who knows what a Messi would have made trying this on my own. THANK YOU! Bridget. Lola and Taffy
