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!

Maddie is highly professional and knowledgeable. She is easy to interact with, worked well with my dog, provided clear recommendations, and a follow up email after each appointment summarizing what was covered. Highly recommended.

Maddie has been such a huge help for us over the years. She first worked with us back in 2022 when our dog was struggling with city noises and constant barking — she taught us a simple command that was easy to practice and made a big difference in our daily life. More recently, we reached out again for reactivity, and Maddie was so understanding and knowledgeable about the unique stressors dogs face in New York City. Everything she’s taught us has been practical, effective, and something we use every single day. Highly recommend!

Maddie was very helpful with supporting us with our dog Luna, who struggles with anxiety and aggression. Her sessions were thoughtful and her follow up videos and notes were so helpful for remembering everything and referring back to action items. While there is no magic bullet solution to behavioral issues, we are much better equipped to manage and support what our girl needs to feel comfortable and live her best life.

My two terriers were acting aggressively to other dogs that they would encounter on their walks. In just one session, Maddie gave me strategies and tools to help me (help my dogs) start to redress this behavior. She always approaches issues with pets from a perspective of kindness and understanding— educating the owner on what the dog may be feeling that is fueling their behavior. I learn so much just by watching and listening to how she interacts with my dogs - lots of positive reinforcement and a gentle tone to her voice. Whenever I finish a session with Maddie, I come away from it knowing that I am a better and more responsible dog owner.
