Erin is wonderful. She helped me to understand what the behavioral modification principles were and why I was doing what I was doing in Coco’s training. Her explanations were simple, clear and easy to remember. I looked forward to going home and continuing Coco’s training. The one on one training was much better and I got much more out of it than the group training. Coco was much less distracted without other dogs being present. She also spent the full hour with Coco and me. The group training I went to before meeting Erin was not good. The trainer there did not spend the full hour with us and didn’t explain much. Erin’s training is worth the drive. It is without question money well spent.

My 1 yr old pup was a handful before we had training with Erin at Bessey's Positive Paws- we had a great experience- Erin is down to earth and realistic with expectations- my pup is much better now and keeps improving! Highly reccommend.

We have used Erin several times for our German Shepherd puppies and always got excellent results Recently I desperately needed help with one of my 15 month old Shepherd lunging at cars With Erin's guidance although it is a work in progress after 4 sessions I can now walk her with confidence. HIghly recommend her

Erin is an amazing dog trainer. I came to her with my very sweet rescue beagle which came to me with no manners. When he was rescued, he was literally skin and bones and food is a very big trigger for negative behavior with him. He will do whatever he has to in order to get at food. I never would have believed that it would be possible for Jack to look at a treat, be given a command to leave it, and him be able to walk away. With Erin's compassionate training, he can do exactly that! Thank you, Erin for helping us get through the rough places with him!
