Michelle is awesome , polite and always willing to go the extra mile. Thanks, Lauren McKinney and Mookie (WOOF)

We never experienced David as a trainer because of our amusing experience during what he calls…read more"evaluation" - he charges $225 for an opportunity for an 80's style hard-sell: he scares a dog first and calls it "pray drive;" he makes references to psychology legends such as Edward Thorndike; he compares himself with the most famous dog trainers and how underpriced he is; he instills the sense of urgency - did you know that your friendly dog was an evil creature that immediately requires a weekly training course (he does not actually say that; he wants to you come to this conclusion)? He is really good with this type of mental attack - highly recommend to business majors who want to experience hard-sell practices of the 80's. Just remember that you'll pay $225 for the privilege.

David is a wonderful trainer! We brought Mango, our 10 month old GSD, who was aggressive to anyone,…read moreincluding my 9 y.o. sons friends, whenever they entered our house. Mango was friendly and socialized outside our property, but would attempt to bite anyone who stepped into our driveway. Mango, also doubles as a Houdini, can unlock and open any door (including with child locks) and would go outside whenever he heard anyone close to our property. Multiple dog owners recommended David. We brought Mango in and were told that he was spoiled (I mean how can he not be, he's so handsome), not properly socialized and tightly wound. David boarded Mango for 2 weeks and worked with us intently everyday on proper dog handling. At the end of the training, Mango came home a new dog. He was very relaxed, listened- even my son could handle him. We're very grateful to David for training our dog. David runs a high quality training center: the kennels were always clean (my dog didn't smell like urine or feces when he came home signaling he was kept clean). I recieved video updates and was welcomed to work my dog with other dogs to ensure I had proper management prior to him coming home. I would highly recommend David.

The best decision we made for our dog has been working with Matt! To start he had a phone…read moreconsultation with me where he was incredibly understanding and really listened to my concerns for my dog. He recommended the 5 week program, which we did. During our lessons Matt made everyone feel so comfortable, especially when we were simulating a reactive situation to correct. My relationship with my dog got better each lesson. So much so my dog started behaving better even with things we didn't specifically work on in training. My initial concerns had to do with aggression and had a few instances of biting. I would recommend Matt to anybody looking to do training. Seriously the BEST decision we've made for our dog and family. Matt is amazing!!

These are the teenage years when they test a lot and we were all acclimating to each other. From our first assessment session our dog (and we) learned a ton and Pam gave us plenty of tips for moving forward. We booked 5 more sessions and we saw our dog's behavior, and our ability to react appropriately to misbehavior, improve immensely. There were improvements with jumping, counter surfing, leash walking, recall, and "leave it," to name a few. Pam personalizes every session, provides really helpful session summaries and handouts, and is available always for questions. We're going to sign up for a group class with her this summer, too. 12/10 recommend Pam and Down4Paws!

Pam is an AMAZING person and dog trainer! She is extremely responsive and great at troubleshooting…read morevarious solutions to issues that pop up during the training process. She is always patient with our puppy and with us and our kids. Pam involves the entire family in the training process, which we felt was unique when searching for a trainer. We have 3 young children, ranging in age from two to seven, and she was able to seamlessly differentiate instruction so everyone understood and could participate. After working with Pam for 5 weeks, our puppy is able to seamlessly perform all of the obedience tasks she taught in training. We have decided to go even further with our training because the results we have seen already have been met beyond our expectations. I would recommend Pam without ANY hesitation for anyone looking for a reliable trainer with proven results!

Extremely Disappointed - No Patience for Puppies or Professionalism…read more Honestly, this has been the worst daycare experience I've ever had--and I work at a vet clinic, so I'm familiar with the standards of care and behavior management expected around animals. On just my puppy's second half-day, I received a call saying he was being kicked out due to "anxiety." He's a 5-month-old puppy, still learning, and yes--he chews, like all puppies do. Instead of redirecting that behavior or giving him any sort of chance to adjust, the manager claimed he was "destroying property" by chewing the fence and decided he was not a good fit. I was told he was pacing and not playing with other dogs. But pacing doesn't necessarily mean anxiety, and he has never shown signs of anxiety in the month we've had him. In fact, during his first visit, the staff said he was sweet, well-behaved, and even called him their favorite. So which is it? It felt like a complete 180 overnight--with no attempt to work with him, redirect behaviors, or help him settle in. Puppies need time, patience, and structure--not to be written off after one or two short visits. The experience leads me to believe that the staff, especially the manager, may lack the proper training or understanding needed to support puppies still in their developmental stages. I truly hope they consider additional training in animal behavior and communication--because right now, it seems more about convenience than care.
