Paulas perspective and experience with our boy Bruno has been ground breaking to say the least.
Our older pitty has grown leaps and bounds that I can honestly say I was unsure could he done. Bruno has found his voice and has so much more personality. I strongly suggest bringing your fur child to her for a session or a lot of sessions. You will love the outcome!

I came to Paula after having reviewed her method on her website and seeing all of the amazing reviews from people who have worked with her. I adopted a rescue, Levi, who was very anxious around humans and appeared to show anxiety-driven aggression toward other dogs. While Levi has been a very good listener and has excellent behavior, my concern was a lack of confidence, presenting as anxiety. I knew I don’t want “obedience training,” as that wasn’t the issue- I wanted to build Levi’s confidence in a way that would also strengthen our bond.

Cue Paula- I cannot say enough nice things about this woman. Her dedication to understanding dog psychology and passion for improving the dog-human relationship is beautiful and compassionate. Paula has taught me cues to communicate with Levi in a way that he can actually understand, as well as how to recognize the ways in which Levi is communicating with me; she has also taught me the importance of being considerate and respectful of what he is communicating. Since working with Paula, I have been able to hone in on when he needs reassurance and through the method of OSR, I have been able to fulfill that need for him- watching my boy, in a completely new environment, go from hyper-alert to relaxed in a matter of minutes was a huge breakthrough.

Paula has taught me the importance of being the architect of Levi’s environment and being mindful to not put him in situations he is not ready for. The effort we have been putting in to make these lifestyle changes is not going unnoticed- Levi is more exploratory and curious about people since working with Paula, and has even made a couple of new dog friends, which shows the trust we have built together through this process.

Paula has such an incredible and unique approach as a dog behavior specialist. I honestly never knew such a person existed until I found her. I adopted my dog through a rescue and without knowing his history I found it difficult to understand, navigate and correct his behavioral issues. I originally worked with a dog trainer, not knowing the difference between a trainer and behavioral specialist. The trainer just focused on basic obedience which I wasn’t looking for. At that point, I felt discouraged, because I wasn’t looking for that type of help and wasn’t what my dog needed. My only concern at that point was his overall happiness and security. Since working with Paula, she’s helped me understand my dog’s behaviors and how to orchestrate our environment and provide tools for me to create a more harmonious life for him. Over the past several months, he has made significant strides, and I couldn’t be happier and more excited for what’s to come for him. Paula is so knowledgeable and has provided so much useful information. I really enjoy working with her and honestly amazed how much progress we have made.
