Pam is an amazing trainer! She worked with my very stubborn 2 year old black mouth cur this summer. My dog would drag me around on walks, bark at other dogs and people, and in general was so unruly I could not take her places. With Pam’s training and guidance, my dog is now able to heel most of the time, and she is much friendlier around people and other dogs. Today I took her to a dog-friendly restaurant for the first time. She was well behaved around the other dogs and patrons. I’m so proud of her and grateful for Pam’s help!

Pam was excellent helping us start our training of our 3 month old puppy. She not only helped us start obedience training, but also showed us how to train properly. She was also flexible with scheduling and tailored the training to our needs.

Pam was wonderful to work with and always had a positive attitude. She had great suggestions, and was patient working with all members of our family.
Our dog responded well to Pam's training techniques. We learned so much to use in training our puppy, who has maintained the use of the commands taught.

Pam is a wonderful trainer. She is friendly, knowledgeable and was absolutely great with our pup. We called Pam because our 10 week old puppy is play biting too hard and aggressively. Pam gave us practical tools to address the behavior. We are looking forward to the upcoming puppy socialization class in Walpole. We will definitely call Down4Paws for our training needs in the future. Thanks Pam!
