Jamie’s Client Reviews

“Very informative, Jamie is so knowledgeable and wonderful. And barnhunt is so fun! My dog loves this sport!” -Kaitlyn P & her Wirehaired Pointing Griffon AnnieLou, reviewing Barn Hunt Competition Skills with Jamie Elvert

“My Boxer doesn’t have prey drive, but was excited to find the rat, and Jamie made us feel we belonged there! There was a dog that was unsure around other dogs and I saw accommodations made that tells me any dog could partake in class!” – Sue S & her Boxer Eloise, reviewing their Intro to Barn Hunt class with Jamie Elvert

“Jamie is great. She made it fun and she gave us a lot of info.” – Diane M. & West Highland White Terrier Artie reviewing their Barn Hunt class with Jamie Elvert

“Jamie is an effective teacher – organized, prepared, provides helpful feedback, patient with students and their dogs, sets boundaries for unruly dogs.” – Lorraine U and her American Eskimo Dogs Blaise & Ben, reviewing their Barn Hunt Competition Skills class with Jamie Elvert 

“Jamie is an excellent trainer! She does a great job in tailoring guidance to each handler based on their dog’s skill/personality. I’ve continued in Barn Hunt classes and have started a 2nd dog and gotten a friend to start with her dog. My dog can be reactive and sensitive around strangers and she has been great in helping me keep him feeling more secure in class. I had worked with my previous trainers in SC for 4 years and they set the bar high. After trying a number of classes from various trainers I was so relieved and grateful to find a trainer that meets that bar and has the same philosophy about dog training that I do. I love the philosophies that Paws Abilities use for training. Using positive rewards and focusing on dog/handler connections is so important the best way to train. I would recommend to everyone!” -Carolyn Z. and her Rhodesian Ridgeback cross Dexter, reviewing their Barn Hunt class with Jamie Elvert 

“Jamie allowed space for flexibility and individual questions/attention. We’re planning to bring our older dog in for more training and/or individual consult because our first experience was so good making progress with our puppy’s confidence in Jamie’s class. Thanks!” – Lucy C and her Labrador/German Shepherd cross Lucy, reviewing their Puppy Class with Jamie Elvert
