Pawsome Pups Dog Training

Our family was going to purchase 2 puppies from the same litter. Before bringing them home, I called Bridget to inquire about training. During our conversation, I shared with Bridget we were looking for training for 2 puppies. Bridget asked if I had heard about littermate syndrome. I shared I had not heard of littermate syndrome, and Bridget explained there can be major challenges associated with getting 2 puppies from the same litter or 2 puppies from different litters who are close in age. She shared with me that I should really do some homework to look into this syndrome on the internet before making our final decision to bring 2 puppies home at the same time. Bridget suggested getting 1 puppy and adding another once that puppy had matured more (around 2 years). She explained her services and took the time to educate me and point me in the right direction to collect more information about littermate syndrome. Wow! I am soo glad she told me about littermate syndrome! After talking to Bridget and reading more about littermate syndrome per her suggestion, I realized my husband and I had lived a littermate syndrome scenario with 2 prior dogs (needless to say, we had major issues with those previous dogs). I had no idea! Because Bridget took the time to educate me, we made the decision as a family to bring home 1 puppy and hired Bridget as his trainer. If you are looking to bring home 2 puppies or 2 puppies close in age, I really recommend just listening to Bridget's advice and waiting. Bridget is incredible--she is knowledgeable, professional, and really took the time to train both our new 7 week old puppy as well as myself so I could reinforce our time together at home too. At 7 weeks, he learned to sit, began proper socialization and leash training, settle in his bed, began appropriate potty training, and so much more. Bridget even tested our puppy for his ability to handle strange/new noises. Initially, he did not do well with the new noises at all. I am so thankful she knew what to do to test him with his ability to handle noises. Bridget worked with our puppy and myself to help him positively overcome the noises. Had she not done this, it would have taken us much,much longer to realize noises was something he needed to work on. In just 2 sessions, he made incredible improvements with handling new noises and is continuing to improve. Seriously, the psychology behind her expertise is amazing! All of this being said, if you are looking for a trainer for your dog and to learn along with them, Bridget will be a stellar fit! Bridget is who you and your pet are looking for!

I took my nine-month old Italian Greyhound, Blue Buttons) (a peaceful but anxious breed) to Bridget at Pawsome Pups Dog Training for a series of 10 training sessions. My little wild man needed to learn confidence and basic training. Ms Bridget used her 15 plus years of experience to train Buttons to sit, lay down settle, to leave things alone (Buttons had an obsession with my Granddaughter's binky). Of course her biggest challenge was to train me in proper ways to lead, guide and command. We accomplished many amazing things. Especially noteworthy was Ms Bridget's use of a complex obstacle course which required integration of a number of challenging tasks. I feel confident that I will now be able to continue his training reinforcement at home.
