Our puppy Benny stayed with Ashley for 2 weeks for a training program and he learned so much! Ashley did a great job teaching him valuable lessons, our favorite of which being how to do structured and unstructured walks on the leash. We can finally go on daily walks with him and take him to dog-friendly public places with us!! She sent over updates with photos or videos while he was staying with her which was a real treat for us to watch his progress from afar.

Disclaimer: Kylah is no longer working for Pavlov, but this was my experience nonetheless.While Kylah seemed confident in her methods, I found that she was dismissive of my concerns as a dog owner. I was diligent in following the training, but over time, my dog’s reactivity returned. Despite follow-up sessions, I felt the reliance on the e-collar was not effective, and it even appeared to cause my dog distress. When I raised concerns about trying other methods, they were dismissed, which left me feeling frustrated and disappointed.In my experience, the training method did not offer long-term results, particularly for anxious dogs. The use of the e-collar felt more like a constant correction tool rather than a means to build real communication with my dog.Before committing to a board and train program, especially at this price, I would advise considering alternative approaches if your dog is anxious. I’m saddened to leave this review but feel it’s important to share my experience.HOWEVER, I have since spoke with the owner of the business, Tanya. She really heard me and validated my experience working with Kylah. She refunded me 1/3 of the cost of the board and train, which seemed reasonable to me. And informed me that they are evolving their training practices to hopefully better suit more dogs with different behavioral issues. I appreciate the honesty, and the cooperation on her part. That’s why I’m still giving 4 stars.

Working Trainer Kylah from Pavlov’s Dog Training is the best investment Ive ever made!! In two weeks my high energy one year old dog that was a puller and a jumper learned how to heal, come when called, stay and not jump up on people. Its wonderful to have tools and strategies that enable me to communicate with my dog. Kylah was so helpful and patient when teaching me how to work with my dog in the follow up sessions. I brought my dog back for a second week and he so so happy and excited to see her. Clearly Kylah loves dogs and they love her!

I’m truly blown away by how amazing Pavlov Dog Training did with our 95 lb Pit Bully, Bertha. As you can imagine, before training Bertha was very hard to control on a leash, barked a lot, and we had a hard time controlling her. Meredith and her team went above and beyond to train Bertha out of her naughty habits and she did it in a very kind and safe environment. Bertha loved her training so much that she didn’t want to leave Meredith’s beautiful home and had the time of her life. She got to play with other dogs and go on hikes and adventures all while learning her training. Meredith is extremely knowledgeable and kind and made us feel so supported and equipped every step of the way. We are so grateful for her and would recommend Pavlov Dog Training to any of our friends and family!

Working with Meredith at Pavlov was the best choice we've made for our dog so far. We took our golden retriever puppy to her for a 2 week board and train and the results have been incredible. I'm someone that typically doesn't like to leave my pet with trainers/ boarding facilities, and after meeting Meredith I felt very comfortable leaving her for 2 weeks. She is very knowledgable, patient, and professional. I would highly recommend Meredith to my friends, family, and anyone else looking for help to train their dog. Absolutely worth the investment!

Ashley was a pleasure to work with. We took Otto, our 4 month old puppy, for a 2 week training program. Otto is an anxious dog that gets really scared of people. After only 2 weeks with Ashley, Otto had improved so much! He is now more confident and obedient, and she gave us a lot of tools to work with that we’ve been using after the program ended. We highly recommend Ashley if you have a dog that requires special attention.
