Reviews
Pam trained my dog recently and I love the improvements I have seen in my dog, she helped my dog with commands, my favorite one was she helped her to stop jumping on anybody she sees and she is now very well behaved, if your looking for someone to train your pet I highly recommend pam Sanford!
Pam is a natural with dogs, with patience, instinct and skills to create a safe, caring environment to help with any dogs needs in your home or hers.

Information Pam S. would like to know about your pet
I usually do like to ask the client about any type of anxiety the pet may have. Whether it be cat or dog, they're many types of anxiety an animal can experience, and I feel that's a critical note. Does the animal have separation anxiety? Anything that may trigger fear? Loud noises, fireworks, things of that nature. Has the animal shown any types of aggression towards new people or animals? I want to know as much about this animal as possible, so I know how I need to approach him/her, and what I need to do to have this animal comfortable around me and trusting
A typical day
I enjoy staying busy outdoors with the dogs I train or exercise. I like to walk trails or take them to a dog park where they can have interaction if not with other dogs, but nature and different animals that will be in the woods and on the trails. My dogs personally, LOVE to play fetch with their ball, or having me throw the frisbee so they can race each other to the prize!
