Miracle Workers. Our Sheepadoodle puppy Franklin was a real problem child. Walking him was a chore. Not fun at all. He'd lunge at people wanting to play, pull towards other dogs. Worse yet, he'd flat out stop. He'd sit down or roll on his back like he was protesting the walk. When people came to visit, he'd jump all over them.He spent two weeks with Kylah and he's a complete gentleman. I saw a neighborhood friend the other day and she was astounded - she said it's like a brand new dog. Couldn't agree more. His walking pace is perfect, he listens to commands, he does Park It when we get home which makes putting away groceries a snap, he STAYS. Walking him is a pure joy as he trots alongside us. Not only do they train him at their place, Kylah did 2 follow up visits to ensure the behavior is maintained in Franklin's home environment. He was so excited to see her when she came over so he absolutely loved the training. Not only is Franklin ship shape, but we are trained as well so the action/coaching is consistent, a key for long term success.We had invested in training at another places. None of it worked. Kylah is Dr. Doolittle come to life. We were at our wits end and now he's better than I ever could have hoped. Other owners are jealous- 'dang, how is that dog so well behaved while mine lunges and barks like a maniac.' Simple, we took ours to PAVLOV. Well worth the investment. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Our dog is fear based reactive and Kylah was amazing with him for the three weeks and getting the videos each week was amazing addition to have see how far he came from when we dropped him off. And having someone to ask questions of after is really helpful outside of the meet ups.

We had tried almost everything: two dog trainers, online research and an online course. With each we saw a marginal improvement, but still struggled with problematic behaviors with our big lab. Appa (2 year old lab) would bark at people outside our home and at house guests.I’m so thankful we found Pavlov. Kylah is professional and kind, and I knew Appa was in good hands. We loved the update videos during his stay. We were amazed when we went to pick Appa up. He heeled on walks and listened to commands (sit, stay). He also learned “park it” which is where he stays on his bed until we release him. This has been a really helpful tool! We also learned some things that helped us see Appa’s perspective so that we can set him up for success.Thank you Pavlov, and thank you Kylah. We have the best dog.

Meredith was absolutely amazing! I had my year old golden retriever, Olive complete the 2 week board & train and I could not be more happy. Meredith provided updates with photos and videos throughout the 2 weeks and the follow up trainings have been super helpful.Olive is now off leash trained, giving her much needed independence and walking her on a leash has become much less stressful. She came back home knowing boundaries and is obedient in all settings, not just in the house - all while still having her fun, playful personality! I highly recommend Meredith at Pavlov!

Meredith and Kylah are so talented, professional and kind. We sent our “ok boy” French bulldog Hank for a two week board and train with Meredith and he came back with the best manners, independence and obedience. I then boarded Hank for a few stays when I was out of town with ease knowing he would continue to build onto his skills and be so well taken care of and cared for. About 2 months after board and train Hank went back for the finale of off leash with Kylah and we now the THE BEST BOY. We loved the picture and video check ins as well as the texting abilities and responses. We are back in AZ and he’s a local favorite at parks, patios and neighborhood walks. We are so lucky to have found Pavlov and I can’t thank or praise Meredith and Kylah enough.

I sent my dog to Kylah in the Portland area and loved the work she did with him!I have a reactive pup and she understood what he needed and how to minimize his reactivity. We set realistic goals together and worked to make sure that he is able to thrive in his environment.

Meredith at Pavlov Dog Training was amazing! We had our Shiba Inu Odin complete a 2 week train & board. Meredith sent us great updates during his training with videos. When his boarding was complete, Meredith was very thorough with our training with Odin. She was always so helpful via text whenever we had questions. She also had 2 follow up trainings in our neighborhood which was wonderful to make sure Odin was well trained in his own environment. Odin from before and after is night and day! We are so grateful for Meredith at Pavlov and highly recommend anyone who wants fantastic and long lasting training for their dogs and themselves!

Kylah was our trainer and she was awesome! Our 1 year old pup, Truman, did board and train for three weeks to help him overcome dog reactivity, jumping on people, not coming when called, leash pulling and overall “bad” manners that were becoming an issue due to his large size (German Shepherd mix). Kylah listened to my concerns, which included my hesitation with using corrective tools in addition to positive reinforcement. With the video updates and with handover training sessions, Kylah showed me how happy Truman was to learn, receive instructions and know what I was asking of him. I learned the appropriate use of praise and correction and Truman is still the happy pup he was at drop off, but with manners! I can go on with how impressed I was with Kylah’s knowledge, patience, and care that she demonstrated. My investment in Truman’s training with Kylah was well spent. Thank you, Kylah and Pavlov Dog Training!!!

Kayla is a fantastic trainer. She took an immediate interest in my pup, Rookie. Kayla listened to my concerns and returned a dog ready to succeed. If you have a high energy pooch, Kayla is your gal.

Kylah worked with my timid and stubborn 18 month old hound mix while I was traveling. She came back with so many new skills. I can now confidently let her off leash at large unfenced dog parks and trust that she will recall (and drop whatever ball she has most recently stolen from another pup!)

Meredith has transformed our scared, reactive puppy to an outgoing, confident dog. She has learned so many skills that make our working dog (Australian Kelpie mix) so happy, and keep us sane. She was highly leash reactive as a puppy and it was completely out of control. We did the first Board and Train program with Meredith and when we picked up Ella our jaws dropped. She no longer lunged or growled at other dogs, had beautiful manners- and you could tell she just had the BEST time in her training with Meredith. We've had so much success we continued with the program for off-leash training as well as continue to contact Meredith for boarding when we leave town, because our dog truly LOVES being around her. What is also so great about Meredith's approach is that the training doesn't just end when you pick up your dog, there are several one-on-one follow up trainings for us with Ella, so we know how to continue to set her up for success. Sometimes mom and dad need more training than Ella! The price at first was intimidating as we've never sent our dogs to such a thorough training program but it was worth every penny and more. We have a manageable dog who we now know how to communicate with and can take out on field trips with no stress all thanks to Meredith and Pavlov!! Forever grateful!

Meredith from Pavlov worked magic on Trixie. She was so much more well behaved and responsive after picking her up from the program. The difference is night and day. No more friendly lunging at people, squirrels and other dogs. I look forward to continuing the training under their direction. Thanks Meredith!

We love Pavlov and Hildie's (our 4mo old puppy) trainer Meredith. Hildie's "heel" command is soooo much better, loose leash all the way! She is also controlling here "excitement" regarding our cats...being mostly respectful. She is listening and attentive and waits to come through doors and out of here crate until she gets an "OK"! She is still all puppy - but working very hard to be the best girl ever! We have already signed up for more training: off leash training, in a couple months. Thank you, Meredith and Pavlov, for helping us and Hildie to get off to a great start!

Kylah was an amazing dog trainer! She worked with my two girls Brooklyn and Ziggy through the 2 week board and train. The girls learned a lot, which has stuck well, it has now been over a month. So glad I did this training for both my dogs and myself, thanks for everything Kylah!

Our experience with Pavlov was awesome! Meredith is such a talented dog trainer who worked with us to ensure that our dog was up to the standards of expected on leash behavior (this included even some work in addition to the 2 week training). The difference between before and after training is night and day. We have a very happy and well-behaved pup now that we can take around the neighborhood without stressing about reactivity on leash. We loved it so much that we're interested in off-leash training through Pavlov as well. Thank you so much Meredith!!

Turbo turned two back in October and we wanted to make sure we solidified the foundation of some of the commands/behaviors we established in his first year. During this previous holiday season, my wife and I decided to connect with Pavlov where they introduced us to Kylah. One of the best decisions my wife and I made when it comes to boarding/training for our lil guy. During the holiday we were able to return home to NY to visit family and friends while we dropped Turbo off with Kylah. Not only was he treated great, but we were provided with frequent updates during our trip and a refreshing session upon our return back to the PNW.Shoutout to Kylah for being awesome and taking car of and training Turbo for us!Much Luv 😊

My dog Frankie got trained by Meredith for a two week board and train and he did so well. I can finally walk my dog without feeling like I’m going to lose a limb I’ve never been able to do that and I am so thankful for it. She has been very helpful and sent videos and made sure to respond to any questions I had with in a timely matter. The training she does truly helped my dog feel so much more confident. I will definitely always recommend Pavlov and for sure Meredith to anyone who is needing a trainer he will be back for off leash training eventually and I know he will be treated wonderfully like he was this time.

We have nothing but great things to say about Pavlov and trainer Kylah! She worked wonders for our Malinois/GSD puppy, Kali. At ~ 5 months kali started developing leash reactivity, making it nearly impossible for us to walk her or take her out around unfamiliar dogs. We had tried other puppy training and obedience classes but saw very little success. After doing some research and getting the recommendation from a neighbor, he knew Kylah at Pavlov was the right trainer for us. Having a Malinois herself, we felt confident Kali would be in great hands. We were not wrong!! Fast forward 2 weeks and we have a pup that walks amazing on the leash- night and day from where we started. Kali is much more confident on leash, barely notices the other dogs and is such a joy to walk with. It has given us all a much greater quality of life and we couldn’t be more thankful. In addition, Kylah has been there to answer any questions along the way.We also really loved and appreciated the weekly updates and videos throughout the training. We will most certainly be coming back for Off Leash training! We would highly recommend Kylah to anyone looking for a dog trainer, whatever their needs may be.-Robert and Katie

Meredith trained our 1yr old anxious husky mix, and she did an awesome job. My dog is almost 80 lbs, and he was constantly pulling on walks, which was becoming too much to handle. We did the board and train with Meredith, which lasted two weeks. When we got our pup back, no more pulling at all. He now walks politely at heel with a loose leash, and it hasn't take much effort from us to reinforce his behavior. I would definitely recommend Pavlov Dog Training, and especially Meredith!

Was awesome, my dog feels 100% now when I take him on walks and out to the park. At home he is still a puppy and wants to do stuff but is respectful and knows his limits. We worked with Meredith and she was awesome and would answer any questions I sent after the training fast.

We sent our 6 month old Rottweiler puppy to the 2 week board & train. He had no prior leash training and manners were that of a puppy! Meredith was able to completely transform his behavior outside and in busy environments while still leaving his goofy and playful personality. We are confident brining him places knowing he is focused on us and our next move. He now loves and craves having a job and command to do and is overall a happier pup. After the 2 weeks, it was a no brainer to send him to a 3rd week for off leash training! Merideth and the crew over at PAVLOV had wonderful communication, gave updates, and still check in on his progress regularly. I highly recommend them!

We have the most incredible dog, rescued with minimal house and leash manners. She's now a dream in everything from how she engages with my three young kids, to how she welcomes strangers into the home and how she mellowly engages with new surroundings. So much so that as we bring a new puppy into our lives, Pavlov and Kylah are once again our go-to support and insurance policy that we successfully integrate this new pup into our lives and home in a way that's great for all. I'm so grateful to have connected with Kylah and Pavlov, and wholeheartedly recommend her. She's direct, detailed, thoughtful, professional and a terrific listener.
