FirstBarkHaving a puppy is fun. But having a trained, responsive , and manageable puppy is GREAT! We would not be as relaxed, confident and well-rested as we are without Down4Paws training. Pam is a pro, she makes quick progress and has patience for working with family members of all ages. We would very much use Down4Paws again!

Pam was wonderful with my 6 month old puppy! My puppy had issues with separation anxiety where he would nip at my ankles when leaving and become triggered by when I would put on socks or grab my bag to leave. In a manner of a few weeks, Archie no longer reacts when I get ready to leave and and doesn't bark the minute I step out the door. She is relatable and flexible so your puppy/dog can achieve their goals. Would 10/10 recommend her for training.
Pam was absolutely wonderful!! My dog loved her. She helped tremendously with training my dog. I would highly recommend her!

I adopted a 5 month old rescue dog two month ago who was showing signs of separation anxiety. Since I am a nurse who works long over night shifts I knew I needed some help with training “bear”. I found Pam online due to her great reviews and decided to try her for working with my new puppy. From the first day Pam was responsive, positive and helpful with Bear. She really knows how dogs are thinking and how to communicate successfully with them! Bear progressed great through the daily training that Pam set us up with and now is able to be left alone for a couple hours without anxiety around keys, jackets or shoes. I am so happy with Pam and our progress so far together and would recommend her to friends and family!

Pam is an amazing dog trainer! I’m so glad I found her to work with my two Frenchie’s! I was looking Into training for Ollie when he showed fear and lunging towards strangers. Pam was was patient, knowledgeable and made an instant connection with Ollie. She not only gained his trust she helped him gain the confidence he needed to be the dog we all know he is. He not only has confidence on walks, but he enjoys meeting new people and even does a happy dance in the halls. I’m so grateful for the time she has spent teaching Ollie. Ollie cannot wait to training part 2. 💜
