My wife and I have been working with Maddie for two years. She has given us tools to manage the chaos of puppyhood and life with a very sensitive dog which has transformed our lives. We cannot thank Maddie enough for all the guidance and training.
I adopted a 2 month old mixed breed pup in February, I was super nervous to train him on my own and I am so happy I discovered Paws for Thought.
Working with Maddie has been very beneficial, she is extremely patient, kind and works with you to problem solve right on the spot. She has great advice and was an overall pleasure to work with.
I will take the skills I learned with her and continue to train my pup as he grows.
Maddie and Erin are absolute all stars!! I adopted my sweet crazy Poppy (5 yr old female corgi) from a rescue last August. Her personality began to fully emerge ~2-3 months post adoption, resulting in severe separation anxiety (this was obvious right away) plus leash reactivity (took longer to appear). She has VERY big emotions and after me working with a more generalized trainer for a few months in addition to doing a lot of my own research (lots of conflicting information out there)... my vet finally recommended a vet behaviorist, who then recommended Paws for Thoughts. I began working with Maddie, on leash reactivity and noise sensitivity, and Erin, on separation anxiety, late last fall (Nov / early Dec 2026) and have already seen tremendous progress on both fronts!
I've had many moments of complete despair and Maddie and Erin have truly pulled me through, sometimes serving as MY therapist ha (as it's important I learn to regulate my emotions while on this journey as well). They've provided so many helpful tips with clear instruction and guidance on how to continue executing and perfecting on my own. I am SO happy that I have been able to resume a bit of freedom outside of my apartment (from 10 sec departures in late Nov '26 to 50 minute departures now in Apr '27, outside of unavoidable departures with extra meds + sitter). Additionally, I've gained much more confidence and resilience when on walks with Poppy due to her ability to now fairly consistently disengage without being prompted and much faster recovery if/when she does react.
It's been a long journey and the work is far from done, but I'm incredibly happy with the results to-date and am motivated to continue -- all because of Maddie and Erin's personalized curriculum, attentiveness, communicativeness, and just overall fun and friendly demeanor :) They make what is otherwise an incredibly stressful and life-altering situation into a *dare I say it* enjoyable one!
We did tricks class for 5ish weeks with our golden and it was such a blast! The trainers were great and adapted the class to each pups level (class only had 2 other dogs) and broke the steps down super easily so you can learn how to teach your dog yourself. We left each session feeling like we knew what to do at home to practice. We will def do another class in the future!! Thank you so much Anna!
Maddie is incredible! She is super patient with all of our questions and gave great recommendation when it came to our anxious 4 year old mini dachshund. She was open to being on emails with our behavioral vet and work in tandem to make Millie as successful as she can be in our home. I would highly recommend working with Paws for Thought Dog Training and can't say enough about Maddie!
