Do I need a consult first?

A free 15-minute consult is optional—great for quick questions or checking fit. You can also submit the training form directly.

How does the training process work?

You share your goals, I review and propose a plan, then we schedule sessions. You’ll get clear homework and progress check-ins.

Do you offer Day Training?

Yes. Day Training is a drop-off or pick-up option where your dog spends a structured half or full day with me. We rotate focused training sessions, rest breaks, and real-life field trips to work on your goals. Pick-up/drop-off depends on location and follows the travel policy when applicable.

Dog Training

✨ I specialize in freestyle and trick training — spins, weaves, jumps, and full routines. Movement, creativity, and focus that carry into everyday life.

🐾 I also help with manners, obedience, and behavior using a balanced, communication-focused approach. I tailor the plan to your dog and your goals.

🏫 New — Day Training — Drop off your dog (or I can pick them up, location permitting). Each session balances focused work and rest, with real-world field trips (parks, neighborhoods, dog-friendly stores) to build leash manners, recall, public behavior, confidence, and freestyle foundations. You’ll get a same-day summary. You can also add a handoff lesson so I walk you through everything and give you tools to carry on training at home.

Where we can train:

In-Home — your dog’s everyday environment
Local Park Meet-Up — recall, leash work, tricks, general skills
Field Trips — Home Depot/Lowe’s for public manners and focus
Boston (North End) — meet at our training area or nearby public spots
Virtual Check-Ins — 30-min Zoom/Meet for tune-ups, planning, or behavior Q&A

Every dog and person is different. We personalize the plan so you both succeed.

Experience, Education, and Approach

I’ve been working hands-on with dogs for over 10 years, from walking and pet sitting to training. I started by training my first service dog, then my second service dog, Tallulah (Tully), who is also my trick and freestyle demo dog and has earned her AKC Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced Trick Dog titles. Now I help clients with puppies, obedience, behavior, and freestyle (Dog Dance) foundations. My style is balanced training, with a focus on clear communication, building a strong dog and owner relationship, and setting both up for real world success. I’m an active member of professional training organizations, including IACP and APDT, and I’m currently working toward my CPDT-KA certification. I stay current on modern, science informed training through courses, workshops, and mentorship, and I tailor each plan to the dog in front of me and the goals you care about most. If you have questions about methods or whether your dog is a good fit, feel free to email me at paisleygearandtraining@gmail.com.
