Pet boarding/training in Norwood

“Pam has an exceptional ability to understand dog behavior and create personalized training plans that truly work. We adopted Maisie, a one‑year‑old boxer, from a local shelter knowing her first home had been far from ideal. She came to us under‑socialized, with no boundaries, no self‑control, and reactive to nearly everything. Walks were exhausting and stressful, and after two different training classes with no improvement, we weren’t sure what else to try.

Meeting Pam changed everything.

She listened carefully to our concerns, asked thoughtful questions, and outlined a clear training plan. During our first session, she joined us on a walk to observe both Maisie’s behavior and how we responded to her. Pam offered immediate, practical suggestions and demonstrated exactly what to do. We saw a noticeable change in Maisie right away, and she has continued to improve with every session.

Pam follows up after each visit with a detailed email summarizing what we worked on, what to practice between sessions, and the long‑term goals. Her guidance has helped create a happier household and a stronger bond with Maisie. Walks, once a nightmare, have become enjoyable.

We are thrilled with Maisie’s progress and highly recommend Pam as a trainer.“

“We brought our 9-month-old , 125 lb St. Bernard, Grimm ( the sweetest, strongest, coward you'll ever meet) to David knowing we needed guidance. Grimm's guarding behavior had become a safety concern, and we didn't know how to get in front of it.

In just two visits (with more to come), the progress has been remarkable. David has a way of leading you into being a better owner while building your dog's confidence at the same time. If you're on the fence about your dog's reactive behaviors, go meet with him. Show up with an open mind, loose shoulders, and your dog, and let David do what he does.“

“My Golden, Jax, loves being here at You Lucky Dog Day Care. He can't wait till Shira opens the gate to let him in. There have been changes since Pete left and I'm happy to say that Shira and Liz have been extremely kind to me and Jax. I feel Shira goes 'above & beyond'. Liz is very focused too. I feel a big sense of trust when I leave Jax with them. Thank you for being here and making my life a little bit easier!

“Thanks Malissa, you turned my dog- Patrick Blue into a normal dog ?????“

“Matt worked with me and my 3 1/2 yo golden doodle this summer. He is a gem and miracle worker. Over the course of our lessons Maisie became so much better when told to stay and come. I feel much more comfortable and in control when we’re around other dogs, including off leash areas.“

“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation for a week and not have to worry about our pets. Marybeth took care of our fur babies like they were her own. She spent time with me before we left going over feeding routines and was very knowledgeable about giving my cat (who happens to have some drama queen/diva/b**ch moments) her glucosamine medicine. She checked in with me every day with updates and a pic and she went above and beyond because we came home to a clean litter box - which was something she didn’t need to do.10/10 recommend Marybeth!“
