Read Zach's
(a Pomeranian) full testimonial!
Here's a sample: "Life is swell. I am calm and self-assured and I
owe it all to Paula McCollum. I would recommend her training skills to
any and all who have a problem with their pet. So to all of you pets who
have “issues” be sure to tell your owner because I know Paula
can help you."

I
have taken 2 dogs through Precision K-9’s training. What a difference
it has made! Now we can enjoy our walks and I’m proud to have my
dogs in public places. I have finally found an effective way to communicate
with my dogs!

We were at our wit's end with our "problem dog" and were
told by most trainers it would take weeks, if not months to solve Buddy's
behavioral problems. (Bolting out the door, Running away, behavioral inappropriate
urination) After only a few hours with Paula's help, we were able to walk
him without a leash through distractions and temptations! No more problems,
just that fast! I'd recommend this course to anyone, problem dog or not!

I have been an evangelizer of your services. Before we brought Lord
Abercrombie to you, my wife had had it with the dog. She was on the phone
several times with the breeder talking about bringing him back. He bit
and chewed everything. He tugged on the leash. Obey was a foreign concept
to him. We had even taken him to a separate trainer for a 13 week course.
It was all to no avail. Within 20 minutes of working with you in the park,
despite distractions from other animals and rowdy children, Crombie stayed
by our side and did what we said. After only two lessons from you, we
can take him on walks through the neighborhood without using a leash.
He stays by our side--even if we walk in circles. He no longer bites us.
My wife loves him again. Thanks Paula!

I just got back from a weekend in Boise, ID where I had a full weekend
working with Paula. I drove the 420 miles from Portland because of Paula's
reputation. I can't say enough about this young lady. She is really driven
to learn all she can about training and is able to pass on her knowledge
to the client in an easily understood manner. Odin and I will be seeing
her again.

Training has been great with Mitzy. We are able to walk on trails
in the foothills with Mitzy staying right next to our side, even when
dogs are passing. She used to go wild. Mitzy also now retreives and can
catch a frisbee out of the air. She will even sit still and let kids pet
her. The training has really made a significant difference. She seems happier
herself.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciated your expert training
assistance at a recent training seminar in Everett. I have to admit feeling
a little intimidated at first, since the seminar was primarily for the
Everett police K9 handlers. But both you and the other instructor made
me feel very welcome and took time to make sure that my own needs were
addressed.
This training
was absolutely the best thing I have ever done for my dog and me. As you
know, Yury’s intensely strong prey drive had been the source of
many horrible incidents, where he would take off chasing other people’s
dogs or cats, scaring people to death in the process. Although I went
through much obedience training with him (three obedience classes from
two different trainers, agility training by a third trainer, and private
home instruction by yet another trainer, not to mention hours and hours
of on-our-own practice), I had virtually NO voice control when he was
off leash and around other animals. Otherwise, he minded me fairly well.
But I was greatly limited in what I could do with him, for he had to be
on line ALL THE TIME – on a trail, in a dog park, even at the beach!
Now, since the seminar, we have been SET FREE!! (for the rest of Connie's

I began Precision
K-9’s training on Abby, my German Shorthair Pointer, the
day after I picked her up at 12 weeks of age. The training I received
from Paula allowed me to take Abby for walks down our country roads without
the struggle of a puppy pulling every which way. At 12 ½ weeks,
I brought Abby into work with me and my co-workers were amazed at how
well behaved she was - especially for a hyper hunting dog! I get comments
like “What a nice calm breed, that’s the kind of dog I want.”
They of course do not know how hyper the breed is and I tell them that
it’s all in the training method I was taught by Precision K-9. Thank
you Paula!!!

I rescued an 18 month old Weimaraner from Weimaraner Rescue in Mtn.
Home a couple of months ago. When I went to pick up Charlie, I found that
he had spent a majority of the last 10 months in his crate at his previous
owner's house, they had just had a baby and Charlie's energy level was
too much for them to handle. So, needless to say, he was a bit of a handful.
I sought the advice of Paula McCollum and Precision K-9, and what a difference!
The training method is much more gentle than I thought. In a week Charlie
knew his basic commands, in two weeks he was staying when asked and in
three weeks I was going on walks in North Boise with Charlie off his leash!
He is a completely different dog then the wired, crazy, out of control,
lunatic he was when I got him. Thanks a bunch Paula and Precision K-9.

I would highly recommend Paula and her method of training. She came
to
our house on a Sunday afternoon to show us what she could do. My husband
and I do specific dog rescue (rottweiler rescue) we take in the abused
and abandoned dogs. Some of them have no training. The dog in particular
that Paula came over to help us with had never been socialized or been
around other dogs. We believe that he had gotten into the wrong hands
and he was pretty dog aggressive. We could not keep him with other dogs
or there would be a major dogfight. We were told about the impressive
results Paula's method of training achieved and were willing to try it
on this dog (who weighed well over 100 lbs). She had us bring out another dog and continued to work
with the other dog far away and slowly coming closer. In a few minutes
he was at her feet and not looking at another dog. Paula was able to achieve
more in 10 min than what another trainer had tried for a week. I highly
recommend her to everybody.
