Specific behaviors to address

Responds in about 2 hours

Introduction
I can teach both you and your dog how to communicate with each other so that you can successfully accomplish all basic obedience commands--come, heel, sit, down and stay. And I do this IN YOUR HOME, where you and your dog live and where any problems begin. I communicate exceptionally well with animals (people as well--I am a certified Life and Business Coach) and can teach you how to relate to your dog in such a way that he/she will do as you please. My program charge is $725 for six sessions. We work on basic obedience commands and then any specific behavioral problems that are unique to your situation. With many years experience training dogs combined with my experience as a life and business coach, I love helping you and your dog develop a relationship beneficial to you both. That special bond can be awe inspiring and I love being part of the journey.

Pamela was the second dog trainer I hired for separation anxiety in my pup Winston, who is a mini dachshund. To be transparent, I also rated the first trainer who we had a two hour session with 5-Stars. However, while my dog responded well during those two hours we found it increasingly hard to keep up the training at home and regressed rather quickly back to pre training stage. That’s when I reached out to Pamela. Pamela was professional, kind, and caring from the moment I contacted her. Pamela‘s training program seems simple, but is extremely effective. She is very knowledgeable and taught me as much about myself as she did about my dog. It was so helpful to have reoccurring sessions with her, where each session built upon what we learned the session prior. She was flexible and so helpful. She adjusted her training to our needs and was open to collaborating with me (my dog is free roaming in a safe room and not crated). She also helped me with the puppy blues and feeling incompetent as a dog mom, reassuring me every step of the way. After 5 sessions I can report that I am able to leave my 14-week old puppy for 3 hours without any issues. He has become an extremely secure and relaxed little man and is honestly just a joy to be around. I feel like we are able to communicate with each other which makes everything so much easier. I am sure that I would not be able to say the same without Pamela‘s help. If I could I would give her 10 stars!

I had a great experience working with Pamela to train my recently adopted dog Mia. She improved so much in just 6 sessions with Pamela, it was remarkable. Training in our own home and and learning how to train Mia myself as opposed to having someone else train her out of the home made such a big difference. Pamela's training is so specific to her observations of the dog and the owner and the dynamic between them. I learned so much and Mia is now listening to me in the home and behaving on walks. I would highly recommend working with Pamela if you need help with your dog. She's also flexible and punctual.

Details: 1 - 2 years old • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • I'm flexible • General obedience training • Leash pulling • House training • My home, venue, etc.

Pamela was wonderful with our puppy. What I loved the most is that we trained my very food motivated dog without using treats - just praise and positive reinforcement. The minute she walked into our house, our normally very excited and willful puppy was calm and listened to Pamela right away. It's amazing how far our puppy has come!

Pamela has been helping us train our recently-adopted, 10-month-old puppy Bernie. Pamela has gone out of her way to understand our little family and to train both our dog as well as the trainers (myself and my girlfriend Kelsey). She emphasizes strong communication between you and your pup, and helps explain when you are sending mixed signals that could be confusing your dog. We’re about 3 sessions in and already starting to see some great results! We’d both highly recommend Pamela.

Pamela has helped me tremendously with my dog Lucy. Before we started training, Lucy was anxious and had no focus or impulse control. Since working with Pamela, Lucy has become confident and brave--everyone who knows her has noticed. Pamela taught me how to communicate with Lucy and how to assert myself as the one in charge. After 5 minutes with Pamela, Lucy was able to go up and down the stairs of my building--something she's always been too afraid to do, as she only ever used the elevator. I highly recommend Pamela!!!
