Ashley is amazing! Olive spent two weeks with her and came home with an awesome foundation for us to keep building on. Ashley has a gift for understanding what motivates a dog and how to best work with them. We feel so much better about having Olive out and about and love that we can give her more freedom. I highly recommend this training and have already sent a few people their way.

We trusted Ashley to board and train our very energetic and stubborn Spaniel and what a difference it made! Our dog is so much better behaved and receptive to continued training at home. The best part is that she’s so excited to see Ashley when we’ve done continued sessions together, so you know that Ashley’s training is full of love for the dogs.

Ashley is great, our dog loves her and she was very much cared for and trained.

We have a 4 year old blue heeler named Ravioli and we struggled with leash pulling, leash aggression, and general reactivity. After working with Ashley our dog walks have become so much more calm. Ravioli is able to heel, walks next to other dogs with very little reaction, and is much easier to handle. Cannot recommend this program enough (reactive dog board and train) worth every penny!

Our dog Sophie has undergone a total transformation after spending three weeks of in home training program with Ashley of Pavlov’s Dog Training! In all respects, Sophie is better at obeying commands and responding immediately. It’s an investment that I can highly recommend to anyone interested in seeing your dog achieve their potential! Ashley is a consummate dog trainer and we love her and so does Sophie!

When I booked Pavlov I was completely overwhelmed with my energetic new lab puppy, Buckley. Buckley needed help with crate training, potty training, obedience, and all things puppy related. When Sophia showed up I felt instant relief— her expertise was immediately evident in the way she clearly communicated exactly what first steps I needed to take with Buckley to tackle the most prevalent problems first. Living in an apartment with neighbors who weren’t keen on having a very vocal, anxious puppy whine and bark in his crate whenever left, it was critical I figure out how to effectively crate train Buckley very quickly. Sophia walked me through a training method, helped me practice, and gave me homework—along with many other trainings to work with between sessions. When my stubborn lab didn’t respond to the first method of crate training, Sophia was highly responsive over text (and available by phone as well) and gave me thorough and clear instructions on how to try another method. This second attempt did the trick and I no longer had to worry about Buckley bothering neighbors or feeling anxious while I was gone. Each session with Sophia was immensely valuable, educational, and personally tailored to what I needed for Buckley’s development. Even beyond the value of the lessons is the value of having Sophia as a life-long resource for all dog training-related questions, advice, guidance, and support. The training goes beyond the space of the sessions and Sophia is highly available, responsive, and just simply wonderful to work and communicate with. She also was able to recommend very useful products that supported the training we did (such as Buckley’s prong collar and then a new type of leash to support further training for more obedient walking). Raising a puppy as a single person can be challenging and I cannot imagine a better trainer than Sophia or a better philosophy and approach than Pavlov’s!
