Pawsome Pups Dog Training

Bridget Taber is an excellent trainer. She was patient with my stubborn hound dog, and helped us so much! My dog is reactive to loud noises, and loses her mind when she is scared. She also gets triggered by other dogs when she is on leash with me. By the end of 10 lessons, my pup could walk in busy Hillsboro, including past two yappy pups back and forth without reacting. For people who are owed by dogs with behavior problems, you cannot go wrong training with Bridget. She was recommended to me by my Veterinary Behaviorist, as well.

Bridget has been truly amazing to work with! I rescued a puppy that was extremely fearful of people as well as life outside of my property. It was recommended that I purchase the 10 day private session package and I am so glad I did. We are currently on day 5 and Norman already knows how to sit, lay down, settle, leave it, touch, watch, wait, and loose leash walk! He understands all of these commands given three different ways (sign language, body language, and verbal commands). He also understands up, off, and through. Bridget is so knowledgeable, and is the perfect blend of gentle and assertive. When she introduces a new command, Norman learns it within a few minutes! I work closely with horses in a similar capacity, and I have been amazed at the pace and ease at which we move through each session. Norman has also already shown progress in his interactions with people and other dogs since last week! The second half of our sessions will be more focused on socialization; he will be working with Thomas (Bridget’s service dog) around town! If you are looking for positive, kind, and effective training for your dog, I would highly recommend contacting Bridget!

Working with Bridget at Pawsome Training has delivered amazing results for my 8-month-old German Shepherd and me. Bridget’s knowledge of handling a dog in high-intensity situations and her ability to educate and train me on that was phenomenal! It has been an enormous help as well as a relief to have the tools she equipped me with in my back pocket. Bridget is professional, highly educated, and extremely gifted at what she does. I highly recommend Pawsome Training to anyone with a dog!

Bridget is a godsend! Of all the dog trainers my husband and I spoke with, she is by far the most knowledgable, passionate and credentialed. We saw immediate improvements in our 10mo old Bernese Mountain dog’s behavior after using Bridget’s techniques. She was an active listener who painstakingly learned our habits and mistakes, so to better understand us as dog owners. Bridget tailored her positive reinforcement training around our personalities to maximize effective evolution of our habits. We couldn’t be happier with how our bond with our dog, Bosco, has improved and how much more confident we feel as dog owners.

I just rescued a puppy from SSR and my older dog was very reactive. She would growl, bark and snap anytime the puppy was near her. I was not going to be able to keep the puppy. However, Bridget Taber at Pawsome pup dog trainer saved the day she managed to get me into her schedule immediately. In a matter of two sessions with my older dog we were able to get her to settle down without any problems. I am so appreciative to have learned the correct way to use the leave it command. I am so glad I was able to accomplish this so quickly. The puppy and the older dog are getting along great. She actually brings a toy to play with him. Thanks again I couldn’t have had a better turn out. I am so happy !!
