About

As a professional dog trainer, learning the body language of dogs in correlation with their behavior are the most important things for us to piece together, as a team.

With my years of experience as a veterinary technician, behavior of dogs taught me so much about understanding what they needed in order to have a successful visit in clinic.

Now I get to apply that to so many other situations and in turn helping clients and their dogs do the same so everyone is happy and healthy.

If you met anyone in my life and asked them to describe me in one word I guarantee that every single one of them would say "dogs".

I have lived, breathed and loved training my entire life. Helping animals live a balanced life is the core of who I am as an individual.

Of course what I love most about being a professional dog trainer is the transformation case to case.

    Paige is so great with my dogs. She has this vibe with them thats like “I think you’re so cute and cuddly but I am in charge and that is not up for debate” and they pick up on it. I really feel like she loves my dogs and that is so much more than what you could ever buy or expect. I’m grateful for her, as are my dogs and I can comfortably say that I recommend her for anyone in need of dog services

    I reached out to Paige to train my sweet puppy dog named Penny.
    My experience has been so pleasant and Im already seeing huge behavioral changes in my pup.
    The value you get for the money is definitely worth every penny (if not more).
    The pricing is very reasonable and is much more affordable compared to other training programs!
    Plus, she comes to your home for in house training sessions!
    I have a 1 year old pup named Penny who came into this training program with a really bad chewing problem, jumping, going potty in the house, and pulling on her leash.
    Weve only had 2 sessions so far and Paige has been the absolute best!
    Her guidance and expertise has already been a HUGE help! Plus Penny loves her too :)!
    This past weekend I took Penny to my friends beach house. I was definitely nervous to see if she would have accidents inside or jump all over everyone.
    Penny was so well behaved! I received so many compliments about her and her behavior. She was so calm and sweet and pleasant to be around! No chewing, no jumping, and no accidents. What a dream! All of this thanks to guidance and years of expertise that Paige has shared!
    My goal is to be able to take her everywhere and anywhere with me!
    None of this would have been possible without the amazing help and guidance from Paige!
    I normally dont write reviews, but after this weekend I knew that I had to!
    If you are looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and understanding trainer, Paige is the place to go!
    Also, the sessions are done in home which is super cool and the prices are actually affordable!

    Paige has not only years of experience working with animals, she has an innate ability to understand them and guide their people into training them in a way that works. Our foster dog is tricky to work with, but we wanted the best possible shot for her to get a great forever home. Paige has been invaluable in evaluating Ladybug, prioritizing her training, and training US to teach this silly dog how to be a great pet for her future family!

    Paige is compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. It isn’t easy managing multiple animals and making sure each one receives adequate attention and care, but Paige does it with ease and with a smile on her face! Anyone would be lucky to have them handle their animals!

    Frequently asked questions

    Initially, we set up a consultation via zoom or in-person depending on location. From there we decide on in-home private lessons from 4-8 weeks with each lesson being 60 minutes once weekly with the owner present. 

    You also have me for text and e-mail support as well. There is also an option for in-home day training sessions where the owner isn't present.

    I became a veterinary technician 10 years ago and observed dogs across the US in different situations that led to my passion for behavioral cases.

    My goal in the pet industry is to combine veterinary medicine with behavioral therapy (long term).

    Recently, I met with an old friend who reached out to me about her labradoodle. Her main concern was that he was weary of strangers and did not greet certain people appropriately. After several sessions of engage/disengage, he is making progress. It feels good seeing former clients in my veterinary world meet me where I'm at in the behavior world.  

    Find out the following: What dog training education and experience do they have? What professional certifications do they have? What training methods and philosophies do they use? Do they offer a guarantee? What types of cases do they refer out? Do they make learning fun? 

    How do you ensure that my dog is not inadvertingly being punished? How will you know if my dog is stressed during training? If my dog responds the way you want him to in training, what happens? How do you punish my dog if he does something you or I don't like?
