We are so incredibly thankful that we found Paige through a referral from my sister who previously sent her St.Bernese Mountain pup to Paige's BNT for anxiety issues a few years back. In July 2025, we adopted a golden retriever puppy, Gromit who of course by nature & breed was overly friendly and fixated whenever we would walk by dogs and people and would be extra excited whenever he was around our other 2 senior pups. From Day 1, Paige was EXTRA thorough in answering all of our questions before we committed to BNT. Since Gromit was still under 5.5 months, Paige worked with us to ensure we crate trained him before his BNT sendoff. Paige is an incredible and knowledgeable trainer and what we love the most is that she is so passionate about her craft. She sent us a ton of detailed progress updates via text, email, and videos of how we needed to reinforce the training back at home. When Gromit returned from his month long BNT, he was a completely TRANSFORMED pup. Even at ~7 months old, we are still so impressed of how he is able to stay engaged with us inside/outside in public. Paige continues to keep in touch with us, ensuring Gromit's progress stays intact. We will be taking advantage of her monthly pup group training classes so that Gromit's obedience will flourish into his adulthood. We highly recommend anyone to Paige. Thank you so much Paige for building our confidence and relationship with Gromit! read more

Paige has been a complete life changer for me and my Mini Poodle puppy, Winnie! Paige is amazing at what she does - from the initial phone consultation through training, boarding, and follow up group sessions! She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to assess my pup's needs easily. Winnie stayed with Paige for a 4 week training camp to address barking, crate training, potty training, and separation anxiety. Although it was hard being away from him for so long, he came back fully crate & potty trained and was clearly more confident in himself. Before training, Winnie had severe separation anxiety, to the point where I couldn't leave a room without constant barking (let alone leave the house to run an errand!). But now, I can leave him in his crate while I run errands and he is trained to stay on his bed "aka place" while I move around the house. The changes in his behavior are enormous and I am forever grateful for Paige! Also, Paige is clearly very educated in the field and open to any and all questions. I still text her for advice and she is so quick to reply with guidance. She's very committed to her craft and it definitely shows! Thank you Paige! read more

As his owner I have learned how to handle my dogs with confidence. She has been very patient with me. Explaining things in detail and making sure I understand the importance of daily practice and having fun with Simon. Every minute and every cent has been worth it. read more

We have two dogs both were rescues. The house was out of control with the two of them and we didn't have any idea what was gonna happen but we knew one thing was going to be one of these two dogs was gonna hurt the other.. We received a referral to Paige. From our groomer, who was starting to have issues with Cody well to make a long story short we called Paige set up a time to meet and the rest is history. Paige has helped us tremendously with both of our dogs with obedience training and miraculously I have two dogs I can take out in public places they sit they go down they stay they don't interact with other dogs, which was the biggest issue was the dog aggression. We are beyond relieved to have met Paige and would highly recommend anybody to take their dog to her. read more

Paige is the trainer you NEED I can't express enough how thankful I am to have her as a trainer! I brought my cattle dog Bruce to her for a 4 week board/train to treat aggression and resource guarding. Paige definitely makes you feel like you are leaving your baby in good hands, and constantly kept me updated with photos, videos, and details messages about Bruce's progress. Upon receiving my well behaved boy back, Paige sets you up will all the information/ tools necessary to stay on top of your training. She has always been there for me whenever I had/ still have questions or concerns which speaks volumes about how much she cares. I couldn't be happier with the progress Bruce has made after going to Paige, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for trainer! read more

RAVE! This is a follow-up to my previous review. The monthly meet ups for a training tune up are so valuable. While training is a daily practice it is always great to brush up skills. We do this every months and it is priceless. read more

I met Paige about two years ago at a training session for Narc & Explosives detection K-9's. I was immediately impressed with how she handled her own K-9's and being a novice handler asked for some advice working with my spicy Malinois. I took what she gave me and began to incorporate that into our daily training. This included long downs to help relax Lu, boundaries at home, clear communication and especially when to reward. Because of her advice and our willingness to attend the free classes she offers once a month, Paige has not only built Lu's confidence but also my confidence in handling her. Paige is an honest trainer who will advocate for the dog and tell a pet-parent/handler what needs to happen in session and at home for the best interest of the dog. Other trainers that I have met give you the bare bones about training because they want the money, but from my experience Paige 100% is about using her expertise to improve the relationship between dog and owner and doesn't withhold what she has learned in her years as a handler. We highly recommend Paige for all your dog training and/or dog boarding needs. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We brought our 2-year-old dog to paise after months of frustration. He is a sweet dog but was out of control--jumping on counters to steal food, pulling like a sled dog on walks, and unable to sit still for more than a second. We were at our wit's end. Paige was calm and confident and didn't just train our dog--she trained us too. We did a 1 month board and train, and after we did several follow up sessions. It was hard work to stick to the rules Paige had introduced but it's been totally worth it. No more counter surfing and he can hold a sit or down while we eat dinner or talk to guests. It's nothing short of a miracle. We're beyond grateful and recommend Paige to anyone struggling with dog behavior issues. It's not just training--it's a transformation. read more

We adopted a German Shepard/Cattle Dog mix from a dog rescue in Oakland. She had severe aggression toward other dogs and red-zone behavior. Our friends referred us to Paige and the 5-week Board & Train as it got so bad we couldn't take our dog in public or on outdoor walks. We could not be happier with the results... our dog came back fully obedient to commands and the aggressive behavior was eliminated. Paige even gave us training sessions afterward and practiced commands with us to reinforce and maintain the behavior long-term. We can now take our dog to the park, breweries and outdoor restaurants with no issues and we can't thank Paige enough. read more

Paige is AMAZING at training! I was so frustrated with my dog Shadow that I did not know what to do. My friend recommended Paige and felt so comfortable with her knowledge and transparency. I cant thank her enough for how she really transformed the relationship I have now with my dog Shadow. Having a trainer like Paige help you understand your dog and their needs and train them so that they can be incorporated into your life is incredible. I am so Much more confident now taking Shadow on walks, places to eat, and most importantly have her around my niece. thank you Paige for changing my and Shadow's life! read more

Paige is an amazing trainer, she's very honest with you about your dogs needs and how to best address their problems. We did a board and train session for our 3month old puppy. Paige was great at giving us progress updates throughout the boarding session. At our going home 1:1 session she gave us a detailed plan to follow to ensure that our puppy would maintain the training she was taught. I'd highly suggest recommend her services. read more

Paige taught me how to set my puppy up for success with environmental exposure, boundaries, crate training, and obedience. We have a breed that is notoriously difficult to train (Shiba Inu). Paige gave us the knowledge and tools to enable us to have a well-adjusted puppy who looks forward to training. Her experience and success rate is unmatched!!! read more

We fostered and then adopted a 4 year old bloodhound from our local rescue. When we adopted her we knew she had previous separation anxiety and the rescue sold us on the heavy doses of sedatives, trazadone and gabapentin that she "needed" prescribed for her anxiety. We were referred to Paige for board and train to help with the separation anxiety and after assessing Chili, Paige advised us she didn't feel like she needed medication, (our vet agreed with Paige's assessment.) After stopping the high doses of unnecessary medication, Paige was able to bring out the real Chili and start working on the issues in a 4 week board and train. We are so grateful for Paige. Being able to leave our girl at home safely was an absolute life changer and we could not have done it without Paige's help. The care and tremendous amount of work she put into our girl was obvious from start to finish. She's incredibly knowledgeable and the support she has given us after training has been invaluable to our and Chili's success. We are so grateful for her and cannot say enough good things about her and the work she's done with our girl. read more

Paige changed our lives! We got our dog, Piper, from a shelter about 5 years ago and struggled with multiple issues before meeting Paige. Piper has intense separation anxiety (needs to stay in a crate when we leave her or she will chew things up) and also has leash aggression/general fear aggression with other dogs. We first met Paige through a board and train session and it was SO worth it. Piper came back confident and we received a host of tools from Paige that help us manage her separation anxiety and dog aggression much more successfully. She is now trained using reward based tools such as our voice and treats, as well as through an e-collar. We can now take Piper out to dinner in public places with other dogs and walk her without reactions through our neighborhood. We always feel comfortable when Piper is in Paige's hands and we now take her to boarding with Paige as well. An added plus are Paige's monthly free training sessions which we try to make whenever we can. It's so impressive how much Piper has grown through our training with Paige and we hope to continue to see her through the rest of Piper's life! read more

I boarded Cooper with Paige back in early 2023 due to his very very bad behavioral issues. he ran the house, guarded anything and everything around him especially when it came to feeding him and barked uncontrollably. Before getting in contact with Paige I had no idea what to do, I would cry almost everyday worried about what to do as Cooper was my own very first dog and I had never experienced this type of behavior. She reassured me that he is basically just a bully and has zero respect for anyone and it can be fixed. The progress photos/videos she would send me had me and my family emotional and so happy about how well he was doing. He was a completely different dog in such a positive way. I still to this day board him with Paige when going on vacation or even for 1 week refreshers when I feel it's necessary. There is nothing more relieving than being able to leave your dog with someone you trust and know will take excellent care of them and that is Paige for me. The one thing that has stuck with me is Paige expressing the importance of continued training when returning home. Yes, you can send your dog to her and she can do all the initial and hard work to get them to where they need to be, but if training is not continued in the home or new environments then you are back to square one. It's all what you put in. Paige hosts once a month free group class training sessions that me and cooper look forward to as well. The love Paige has for dogs and transforming them into the best version of themselves is truly admirable. The gratitude and appreciation I have for her is immense and I really cannot thank her enough for all the help and love she's given to Cooper. We can now enjoy him and have fun with him and in the beginning I really never thought that would be possible in the future with how bad his behavioral issues were. Thank you times a million! read more

We did board and train with Paige in September 2022 for 4 weeks for our 3 year old Corgi and 2 year old Australian Labradoodle. Both were bought from breeders as puppies (so no prior trauma) and while we thought we could train them on our own with only "positive reinforcement" training, we struggled. At the time we were expecting our first child and knew our dogs needed to be better behaved to be around an infant. Our Corgi was possessive and really did not like to follow rules or commands. He ran the house and honestly, we let him. He barked at every little noise and would bark along our back fence at other dogs. Our Doodle was the opposite. Very nervous and incredibly reactive to other dogs. She pulled hard on the leash (she loves to sniff and hunt on walks) and would freak out around other dogs (even if they were across the street). While she loves walks, it was so frustrating and embarrassing taking her out because she was reactive and nervous. It was also impossible for us to walk with both dogs at the same time. Both were socialized with other dogs since they were puppies. Enter Paige! She really taught us to understand our dogs and their breed behaviors and predispositions. There are some genetic behaviors we can't avoid but now we have better control over our dogs inside and outside our home. Our dogs mind their business in our yard and on walks (no more pulling for our Doodle and less barking from our Corgi). We learned safe and effective ways to introduce our dogs to other dogs and people when it makes sense. We know when it's time to let them take a break. We can now walk both dogs at the same time and I can even do it by myself with our infant (something that seemed impossible last year)! Paige gave us the tools and understanding to have a functional home with our new addition and any time we fall behind on training (which has happened as new parents), we go back to the basics and our dogs are able to correct really quickly. Our dogs are not perfect (and we don't expect them to be) but we all have the proper training and a mutual respect and understanding. We could not have done parenthood to a newborn and our dogs without her. She is so responsive when we have questions and so generous with her time. We are so impressed with her dedication and compassion to dog training. Her brutal honesty is something a lot of dog owners need (I know we did) and has empowered us to be the best advocates for our dogs. If you have the opportunity to work with Paige, consider yourself and your dog(s) incredibly lucky! read more

We are so incredibly grateful to have found Paige for our now 11 month old male Cane Corso, Kilo. Our boy has had a rough start, he previously bit a kid due to a mistake by previous handlers when he was 6 months old which caused him to be rehoused with us. On top of that he had a terrible experience with a previous trainer who was rough on him as soon as she met him because of the fact that he bit a kid and when he reacted to her roughness she told us that he would never be able to be trained by anyone because no one could gain his trust so he would just need to be euthanized. That was not an option so we moved on and found Paige and we are so thankful we did! From the beginning she has always been very open and honest with us about her training, what she knew would be right for Kilo and is super knowledgeable about any breed or behavioral issue. She never dwelled on or held the fact that he bit someone against him, which is rare. She just wanted the best for him and us to be able to live at an even keel and not be in a constant state of fear. Before he went to Paige as a board and train he felt like a ticking time bomb. He was disobedient, had no manners, no respect for space or the people in it. So seeing his progress with Paige in our weekly updates was incredible. She made breakthroughs with him, gained his trust pretty quickly by building a relationship with him and he totally fell in love with her. Watching him transform from a fear based aggressive state to a neutral respectful state by the end of his training was emotional for us. He came back to us with amazing obedience and respectful even for a puppy lol. He came home a completely changed dog! We can take him out in public anywhere without worrying if he'll act up or freak out. He finally learned how to be chill in the house and not be a menace all day. After his training Paige kept in contact with us to check on his progress at home and to help us with anything that we might need or have questions about. We're still in contact and even see her regularly for free class once a month! We've found a genuine friend in Paige and couldn't be happier with what she has done for our family. She helped us save Kilo's life by giving him a fresh start and the care he needed when everyone else turned him away and told us to euthanize him. She gave us the training and knowledge we needed to continue to keep Kilo at his best and live a full life. We are forever grateful for the work you've done to help us change Kilo's life and be successful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Paige!!! read more
