Paws-A-Tive Dog Training

Pam is a great & compassionate trainer. She spent each session customized to our needs dealing with my reactive pit bull. Each lesson progressed with measurable and quick results. I would highly recommend Pam if you want to be well educated & get results with your K9 companion.
Because of her we now enjoy K9 Nose Work & have recently obtained 2 titles.

Pam is an amazing dog trainer and an even better person. She truly loves what she does and cares so much for her furry clients. She never hesitates to assist and went above and beyond to help us out with our puppy. Just after 2 training sessions, I can honestly say our puppy is doing great and has made a tremendous improvement. She helped us work out some problems we were having and we could not be happier. She is super patient, compassionate, and will answer every single question you have to help you. She not only teaches the dog, but teaches you how to teach your dog. Pam has options for everybody out there and she is absolutely super reasonable. Compared to some other quotes I got for training from other companies, she was a god send. I highly recommend Pam to anybody in need of a training program. We are definitely going to keep our dog in a training program with her. Don’t hesitate, Call Pam!

Let’s just Hanabi needed a lot of help! Pam was so great for my Hana. She knew exactly how to help Hana with all her issues and the correct way to teach me to train at home. THANK YOU PAM!

Pam, the trainer and owner, is experienced and truly helped trained my rescue dog. Her location is very convenient being in a pet store. Her dedication and determination to help my dog was instrumental in him learning basic skills and obedience. The best thing was she took time to train the «parents» too. That was a life saver!

Pam is an excellent trainer. She understands dogs and what works with them and what doesn’t. I can’t say enough good things about her!

I can’t praise this trainer enough. We rescued our shepherd mix at the end of 2013 after much planning and researching about the breed. The rescue offered free training with every adoption but the business they used did not have any classes scheduled for a few months after the fact. To be honest we were ready to pull out our hair while waiting for the included training. As much as we loved our new dog, he would not listen to anyone for anything, had some fear issues from his past, and walking was a constant battle. My husband and I happened to walk into the store where Paws-​A-​Tive holds classes and were unnerved by a class going on where owners were walking their dogs through the store without any issue or sounds! We got the phone number, called the next day, and spoke with the trainer, Pam, who listened to ALL our concerns and scheduled a free evaluation.
After literally ONE class, our boy was walking nicely on the leash and could sit! After finishing the 6 week class, our rescue was a model citizen, happy and well adjusted. With Pam we learned how to be strong leaders so our dog would willingly follow us and the importance of patience, consistency, and doing your homework! Almost two years later and he is training to be a service dog.
If you’re looking for a trainer who will listen to your concerns, genuinely loves animals, does not condone abuse in any way for training, and will help you have the confidence to be the leader your dog deserves, call Pam, she will be you and your dog’s lifesaver. and really, you have nothing to lose, except the love/​hate relationship you and your dog are having right now ;)
