I really can't say enough good things about Pamela and her training methods. I brought my shelter dog, Kiki, in after having her for a month. While I'm not 100 percent sure what Kiki's past was, I know it was a rough one and Pamela was able to identify this immediately as well.
I was genuinely counting down the minutes until I could have Kiki trained. While she is an amazing dog, she had become a little "too" comfortable in my house, and was using my furniture as her toilet, barking at anything that moved and went wild at the sight of another dog. When I brought her in for the evaluation at Bass Pro Shops, I was mortified because Kiki went absolutely NUTS at the site of all the dogs and people. Pamela came over and put a slip lead leash on Kiki (my new favorite training device) and suddenly it was like she was a different dog. She was so well behaved and gentle. Pamela gave us a two hour evaluation, and after that, Kiki was a changed canine. Even when I brought her back the next week (I couldn't sign up fast enough), all of the Bass Pro employees who remembered her unruly behavior couldn't believe how fast she had turned around!
Pamela genuinely loves animals and what initially attracted me to use her services is that she said she'd never turn a dog away. I've now referred her to several of my friends and I'm excited to continue training with her and Kiki!
