About Pam4Paws

About Pam4Paws

Pam4Paws is a certified in-home training business, headed on its own pages with the credential line "CPDT-KA, APDT Professional Member". The home page dates the business: "Since 2005, Pam 4 Paws certified in-home dog training has been helping out of control dogs become polite and well mannered. We train your dog(s) in your home – using humane, natural methods."

The trainer

The about page names her and sets out her route into the work: "Pamela Johnson is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with over twelve years of experience working with families who have puppies with misbehavior and reactivity issues." It describes a year-and-a-half internship at a training business, a two-year agility class with placings at her first CPE agility trial, and volunteering with a pit bull rescue to gain breed experience. It also credits her reactive Maltese with pushing her toward Behavior Adjustment Training, a method the page says "has been extremely effective in empowering Lily to remain in a calm state of mind when encountering other dogs".

Services

Four are listed in the navigation: in-home dog evaluations, in-home puppy training, puppy board and train, and in-home problematic behavior training. Evaluations begin with a free phone consultation and end with a recommendation, and the services page is careful to note that "Evaluations are not necessary to begin a training program with us". Private sessions target specific unwanted behaviors and add a few useful commands. Puppy training is pitched at heading off "many common problems that often appear in untrained adolescent dogs", covering destructive behavior, mouthing, crate whining and house soiling. The board-and-train program is described as providing a home-like environment.

The wider list

The home page also lists private and family lessons, puppy training from eight weeks, basic and advanced obedience, behavior modification for timid dogs, house breaking, training for older dogs, socialization, in-home or public park training, and "Reactivity management towards other Dogs, children and strangers".
