Daisy Wiesinger2024-03-12Would highly recommend Deb for working with you and your pups. Just when I started thinking I might have made a mistake getting a second pup 8 months after the first one, Deb came into our lives and returned my house to calmness. She gave so many useful tips and instructions for everything, from accidents in the house to anxiety meeting anyone entering my house. Can’t say enough positive things about Deb’s services!
Rachel Kohen2024-03-12Deb is absolutely fabulous to work with. I called her after adopting my first ever dog from the SPCA. I had no idea what I was getting into with a three year old pitty. Deb met with us and asked what my realistic goals to achieve were out of our lessons together. She tailored the training specifically to Kimber and I. We can go out in public and enjoy time at home with our new fur baby, now. We couldn't thank Deb and Peppers Paws enough. It feels so good to have people compliment Kimber on her manners.
Tim Birrittella2024-02-11Deb is an amazing! She helped our very lovable (but poorly behaved) golden retriever become more controlled especially on walks. Prior to Deb's training, we would get pulled down the street on a walk, which wasn't fun. However, Deb taught us how to get him to walk better on the leash. Now, it's a lot of fun walking him! He doesn't pull at all anymore. He was labeled "dog aggressive" by the shelter where he came from. However, after review by Deb, she concluded that he's just fearful of other dogs that might hurt him -- so he is noisy (loud barking) to try and keep them away. Again, Deb gave us the tools to help him interact with other dogs (that we know) in a friendly and non-threatening manner. We highly recommend Deb as a trainer for your furry family members!
Annette Potemski2024-01-05Deb is an expert in helping you train your dog. She will place you and your pet in situations and together will help you correct unwanted behaviors.
Dave Kemper2023-11-19Deb was wonderful to work with. She did an amazing job of modeling how to positively shape our new puppy's energy. We appreciated the handouts and videos that were included with the lessons. This enabled us to practice between training sessions and we were able to celebrate with her all of the progress that our puppy and we made. She made training sessions fun for both us and our dog. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trainer.
Karen Palermo2023-11-18We adopted a puppy from a rescue organization and suddenly felt panicked because many years had passed since we had to train a young dog. We contacted Deb at Pepper's Paws and she immediately put us at ease. Her expert knowledge of dog behavior and training techniques helped our dog to better understand us and us to understand her. Follow-up videos and written instructions are really helpful to reinforce proper training. We highly recommend Deb!
Clayton Serman2023-11-17Highly recommend. Deb is very responsive, knowledgeable and we have learned a lot from her services.
Jenn Fitz-Thompa2023-10-25Deb is great - knowledgeable, patient, accommodating. We met in different locations, worked on varying skills - anything Rowdy (and I!) needed. Will recommend her to any and every one I know. Thanks, Deb!
Jeanne Luke2023-09-02Deb provides excellent training using positive feedback. Our rescue pup was suffering from anxiety and was not receptive to training techniques we have used with our other dog. Convenient sessions based on our availability in our home and our pup’s environment! If you put the work in, you will see results! Additional support with handouts outlining different training techniques to continuously support your education. Highly recommend!!!!
Mark Barnes2023-08-03My wife and I (and Jacey) highly recommend working with Deb. Her passion for puppies/dogs and her upbeat nature makes her in-home training engaging and enjoyable. She has a tremendous depth of knowledge with experience in a wide range of training and behavioral situations. She teaches so much more than just sit and stay and educates owners about dogs and proper dog ownership. Deb had a natural way with our Jacey, and her humans. The training was comfortable, not rushed, and Deb took the time to answer all the questions we had. Deb always demonstrated extreme patience with our Mini Dox, and mostly, the learning humans 😊. Bringing a new pup (and new breed for us) into the house changes the dynamic, and Deb kindly made suggestions during the in-home, one on one training that was a tremendous help. Deb had so many fantastic recommendations, it is almost impossible not to be successful with our puppy. With all this being said, and since completing the in-home training, Deb always invited questions, and was always prompt with a response and offered plenty of suggestions to be successful. Jacey, my wife, and I cannot recommend Deb enough! We will tell everyone about her, her love for dogs, and the passion she has to make both humans and dogs successful.
