The Maine Pack

Abby & The Maine Pack absolutely changed our dog’s life! We sent our pup for a two week board and train to work on some reactivity & guarding behaviors. Abby was kind, understanding and gave us confidence that we could change our relationship with our dog. Since sending Rosie to TMP she has been worlds happier— able to be off leash, remain calm is busy settings, and meet new dogs & people. Abby also does a wonderful job of staying in touch with resources and training for the owner so you can keep up the work at home and sends lots of videos so you can peak in on how everyone is progressing. I can’t say enough about The Maine Pack (and do to anyone who will listen)

We have been using The Maine Pack for just under a year now for our puppy who is 18 months. First we started with private lessons at home which went great - and now we bring him weekly for a training day. Not only does he LOVE going, he is learning (and reinforcing) so many things, including e-collar. We owe so much of our puppy’s great demeanor (which we hear often as a compliment!) to Abby and her team at Maine Pack. If you are close by (or even if you aren’t!) I would highly recommend The Maine Pack for any dog training needs!!

We met with Abby for a couple of private training sessions shortly after bringing our puppy home and found them to be immensely helpful in establishing a foundation for training and socialization, even in the midst of a pandemic. She truly seems to understand what a dog is feeling and how that dog will respond to leadership. We couldn't be happier with the way she communicates with both us and our dog. Given that he's still a puppy, new issues continue to crop up and she always has the perfect response for how to handle them. We can easily see ourselves working with Abby and The Maine Pack for years - we couldn't imagine a better dog trainer!

The Maine Pack works wonders! They work hard to create a clear way to communicate what is needed and expected from your dog in a manner that the dog can understand. This, in turn, allows your dog to live his/her best life! My rescue dog, Emma, was a very fearful dog (and a handful) who did not how to handle new situations. Nowadays, We take several walks a week through the woods and she gets to be off leash. She responds when given a command and if there is anything new or scary, she looks to me as her leader instead of trying to handle it herself (by barking or running). She is living her best life now and it is because the Maine Pack taught us the skills and tools we needed! Thank you!!!!
