FirstBarkWe enjoyed working with Pam so much! She helped our dog, Salsa, remain calm on walks and interacting with other dogs. She also helped us navigate life with Salsa and a new baby and became our dog’s favorite person!

Pam is easy to relate to, insightful, and encouraging. We brought her two Poms who couldn’t stop barking at people and dogs and now can stop barking and be redirected.
Pam Brown, is the person you need to train your dog . From the moment she came into Our home our puppy loved her , and we knew she was the right choice right away for all of us . Kind, loving and knowledgeable . Carolyn Riccardi
Pam is so caring and thoughtful about the specifics of the issues you are having with your dog. Her feedback is based in reality vs. "a textbook response" and gives manageable responses. Additionally, she is very approachable and truly believes in just wanting to help make the world a better place-one dog at a time.

Pam is an excellent trainer, and I would highly recommend her. We adopted a rescue from Texas who understandably was timid and tentative around people. As first-time dog owners, Pam’s help was invaluable in training our dog in all the basic skills – signaling to pee and poop, loose leash walking, "dropping" and not eating acorns, and the list goes on! She helped teach us the steps to leave our dog (who has separation anxiety) home alone for longer and longer periods of time. She's a wealth of knowledge and has been a wonderful resource in helping us understand the milestones in our girl's growth.
