About
I work with all shapes/sizes of dogs, and am very familiar with the special needs of rescue dogs. I've owned, fostered, and trained rescue dogs for multiple organizations. All dogs, no matter how old or whatever their previous situation can learn new things and adapt to new situations. I believe in leadership training which doesn't rely on buying good behavior with treats or forcing it through a shock collar and pain. Most people already have the skills they need, and only have to be shown how to apply them in a way their dog understands. I love helping dogs stay in their homes and achieve better relationships with their humans. Training dogs doesn't have to be all hard work. It can also be a lot of fun. Showing people how to have fun while making progress to their training goals is very rewarding.

She wanted to know what was important to me to start with training and brought all her own supplies and treats for the dog, even though they didn’t agree with him. She was masked and very careful and respectful of my home. She had me practice the training techniques after she demonstrated them.

We had a fantastic first session with Paula. We were at a loss as to how to get our small 5-year-old dog to stop barking incessantly at cars and other dogs on walks, nipping at snarling at people who came into our home, and just generally acting extremely territorial and demanding, and noticed a huge difference in her behavior after just one session. Paula will be the first to tell you that the training will only work if you continue to implement her strategies every day, but she successfully reset our relationship with our dog. She didn't just tell us *what* to do to manage our dog's behavior—she explained the psychology behind those techniques, and we feel we understand our dog a whole lot more now. In addition to being more affordable than a lot of trainers we discovered online, Imagine Dog Training offers such a great value. Paula answered all of our questions in a phone call before the session, and after it was done, she sent us a detailed written guide explaining her evaluation of our dog's behavior, and reiterating all of the teachings from the session. We are extremely happy we chose Imagine Dog Training, and will be scheduling another session with Paula to follow-up.

We hired Imagine Dog Training to help us with the basics with our 7 mo old Yorkie. Paula came out and spent over 2 hours with us and made sure we understood all steps before she left. She followed up with a full personalized manual by email that we can reference at any time. Finley has already caught on to the training, and we feel so much more confident with him. I highly recommend Paula's services and would have her back at any time for additional work.

We really enjoyed the first session with Paula. She shared informed insights, and was able to demonstrate progress in our dog's behavior within one session. As long as you can handle straight talk about how you handle your dog, I definitely recommend her!

Paula was great about explaining her technique and helping each member of the family understand the process. We will continue to reach out to Paula for dog training tips and sessions as needed!
