I brought my shelter dog to Bridget for elementary manners and intermediate manners classes and am so glad I did. My dog is 2 years old - but knew no commands when we brought her home. Now she knows several and has learned to trust. Bridget's style is extremely patient but firm, and she is all about kindness towards dogs - a true one of a kind in her field.

Bridget is so knowledgeable and helpful in every way possible. We have learned so many valuable things in our classes with her. She doesn't just train your dog, but she makes sure that you as the owner learns the skills as well. I couldn't be more happy with her services.

We recently abopted a four year old terrior mix that had a rough start in life. She came to us with zero training so we called Bridget for a private lesson to not only begin training Maggie but teach us as well. Through positive reinforcement Maggie learned the down and settle commands quickly. Bridget took her time with my 9 year daughter who wanted to be fully involved in the training as well. She also took time to set up the crate correctly with me and walked through the process to tackle potty training. I was worried the crate would upset Maggie but she settles down and does fine all night. We are excited to sign up for the elementary manners class to continue growing and developing skills with Maggie.

Pawsome Pups Training is amazing! My husband and I live on the same property as my mother, who decided to take in a dog named Annie with a rough history which had caused behavioral issues. Bridget skillfully introduced her to both me and my mom, and within one day she was totally comfortable and kind to both of us. However, she HATED all men, including my husband whom she viciously barked and lunged at during their first meeting. As a whole, she was far more wild than any dog we'd ever had before. We had an hour long private training session with Bridget, and by the end of the hour, Annie was able to follow multiple commands and walk calmly on a leash with each of us (Mom, me, and my husband) individually! It was a huge change. Bridget also guided us on how to handle men entering the house with Annie present, and her instructions have led to multiple successful introductions and interactions. When Annie first came into our home, I honestly thought we'd have to put her in a shelter due to her dangerous behavior. It's now looking like she is here to stay!
