Pawsome Pups Training is the way to go if you are looking for a positive trainer, no special collars, only yummy treats. After my initial consult with Bridgette I signed up for the 5 session package for my 3 year old miniature schnauzer. Wow! What a difference between the consult and completion of my sessions. My schnauzer tugged and barked at every dog and person we would see on our walks. Bridgette’s positive training of Charlie, and training me how to communicate with her, we can now enjoy our walks with no pulling, no barking and she responds to “leave it” if she decides to look at another dog or bird. In addition to this initial problem, she now follows commands for sit, down, settle, leave it and stay. As Bridgette discovered, Charlie is VERY stubborn but she complied with all requests by the end of training. I Thank you Bridgette and Thomas.

Pawsome Pups Dog Training Pup/Dog training can be intimidating – especially if the puppy subject is energetic!! Bridget Taber solves all issues with a commendable degree of discipline, patience and positive reinforcement. Our experience exceeded our expectations and has resulted in a calm, focused if still feisty puppy – the difference in his demeanor and responsiveness is most remarkable! Now we need to sustain all that Bridget taught us and continue his development… Maria & Larry A.

Bridget was amazing in helping me start training my 10 week old pit/hound mix. Phoebe is smart but a little stubborn and Bridget was great at working with her and showing me how and what to do. She’s learned sit, down, settle, leave it and working on her walking on leash in a good manner. I highly recommend Bridget and Pawsome Pups Training for your pup!

We just finished a private behavior consultation with Bridget a day ago, and I already see wonderful progress with BeBe, our nearly 2-year-old Labraheeler (part Black Lab, part Blue Heeler). BeBe has a fair amount of fear and anxiety, but it was so remarkable to see how quickly she warmed up to Bridget and started really trusting her - in just one session! Bridget is so patient, using positive reinforcement in a highly effective way. She is also very knowledgeable and is educating me and my family about changing our habits to help BeBe's progress. We look forward to continuing training with Bridget!

Pawsome Pups is a great place to train your dog. Bridget only uses positive training methods, and she trains you as much as she trains your dog. I love her methods and my dog and I both learned so much! I cannot say enough good words.
