About Pam:

“If you don’t have time to train your dog, get a stuffed animal,” is Pam’s Motto. Pam teaches many different types of classes at her 7,000 square foot facility in Belvidere, NJ and has presented seminars across the globe on a myriad of topics. She holds regular 3-day seminars called Camp R.E.W.A.R.D. for aggressive and reactive dogs.

She competes successfully with her own dogs in Tracking, Competition Obedience, APDT Rally Obedience, Canine Water Sports and Agility. Pam has been helping dog parents since 1992 train their dogs with a positive approach. As a certified dog behaviorist, she has helped dog parents win more awards at shows and also have happier healthier home lives in the process.
