Your dog is an individual and training will be geared toward his/her personality and preference. Our methods are humane and motivational. Combining science based training with an understanding of each dogs' like and dislikes we create a program that you and your dog will find fun, user friendly and very successful.

Don't You Forget About Me: A nudge from Vivian and Mugsy

Dora Nelson recommends Pawssibilities. November 10, 2018 · Karen is so knowledgeable and caring. When we got our dog 12 years ago we called Karen, she came to our home and in just a few moments she had Stella sitting and "leaving it"! Her training is done with kindness and positive reinforcement. I highly recommend you give Karen a call!

Trish Clinton reviewed All Things Pawssible — 5 star April 21, 2017 · We just had a session with Karen for our girl Nala and it was great! Very helpful and informational. I was especially excited to hear Karen takes a holistic approach to food and meds of any kind. Thanks so much for your time:) and thanks to the HOWS Group for arranging the donation!

Janet Dickie reviewed All Things Pawssible — 5 star February 8, 2014 · Everyone should have their puppy in their Puppy 101 class.

Todd Pomerleau 2 reviews·1 photo a month ago We have been pet owners for 20+ years. When our new Golden Doodle arrived we decided to enroll in Karen's Puppy 101 training class. She is very professional and has years of experience. Her dog training is focused, skill-based training essential for new puppies and owners alike. She is patient and very kind. We enjoyed the first classes so much that we enrolled in her Puppy 201 class. She offers both small classes and private home visits. She believes in building relationships with customers and their pets. I highly recommend her if you are considering dog training classes.

Nelly Katsoolis 3 reviews a month ago Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Reliability, Responsiveness, Value Working with Karen has been incredible, she is a very patient and knowledgeable trainer. We have had one on one sessions as the group puppy classes were not compatible with our schedule the first months we’ve had our puppy home with us. Karen has come to our home and helped us so much with all aspects of training our new pup. We’ve found the sessions incredibly helpful in teaching us how to better train and care for him. Her approach is kind and patient and our pup adores the time she is here and learns so much every time. I absolutely can recommend her and we are looking forward to being able to join the group classes soon!
