Testimonials
PAC treats my pup like their own, everyone knows Lois by name. My dogs are my kids and I am highly protective, PAC makes me feel 100% confident that ALL pups are safe, not just mine. Lois always is exhausted when I pick her up, and the longer she goes, the more confident she becomes. I would 100% recommend bring your pup.

When we had to find a new daycare for our pup, we were nervous because he doesn’t always play well with others and it very scared of new people. Luckily, we found PAC. Ellery is fantastic with him and more than happy to have him have 1:1 play vs with all of the other dogs. All of the staff is great with him and patient as he warms up to new people. I never have to worry about his safety and know they are spoiling him with love. PAC absolutely loves all of the pups and works to adjust to the specific quirks of each dog. I cannot recommend them enough!
– Kelly Molloy
My border collie started having a lot of reactivity issues at 5 months, and we started training with Scott. We did a board and train, followed by private lessons and now we are in the group obedience classes on Mondays. He is fabulous with her, and his method is effective but also simple enough for me to understand. It has been a lot of work and consistency is key, but Ralph would not have the quality of life she does without PAC. Although she may not ever be a super social dog, she is not limited anymore by her reactivity and has gained so much confidence. She now does a frisbee league, agility classes, and can go pretty much anywhere on or off leash.
