Testimonials
Pam helped us so much with our rescue pup’s separation anxiety. Through our program she has provided clear and personalized guidance and always sent detailed & helpful session notes. She is very mindful of incorporating dog training into our busy life which makes it easier to follow through. We are very proud of our pup’s progress (from screaming his head off to 1hr quiet time), thanks to Pam’s training!

Pamela at Down 4 Paws was awesome. My dog had SEVERE separation anxiety to the point when I couldn’t even walk out the door, and it was giving ME anxiety because I couldn’t go anywhere or do anything without finding someone to sit with the dog. She came in and worked with Ziggy and I and started where we were at… I’m happy to report Ziggy can now stay alone for HOURS at a time. Thank you Pam!
– Client
I have a sweet very energetic 82 pound hound mix… I was apprehensive to get a trainer… Fortunately, I called Down 4 Paws. Pam arrived and she was wonderful. My dog loved her. Pam is intuitive. Her demeanor was one of understanding and calm. She uses encouragement and positive reinforcement. It works.
