HELLO! My name is Pamela Dennison and I have 7,000 square foot dog training facility in Belvidere, New Jersey. I OFFER:

• Regular group classes for puppy k, beginners, advanced beginners, CGC (Canine Good Citizen), TDI (Therapy Dog), and most forms of competition (obedience, Rally, Agility),
• Specialty classes of all kinds. (On the Road, Breakfast Club, and many more!).
• Private and group classes for dogs with problem behaviors, including aggression.
• NEW!!!! Video/Web Cam training!!!! Because dog training is such a visual thing, I am now offering video/Web cam training for those of you that are too far away to come to regular classes. This can be used for anything from basic training to competition to aggression or other problem issues.
• Seminars on dog aggression, Rally and competition obedience, positive (clicker) dog training and how to properly "read" your dog; both at my training facility - and at other facilities and dog clubs within an 8-hour driving distance.
• Horse training in individual or group settings at your location.

Pamela Dennison Interview - 08/22/08 Breakfast Television, Calgary, Canada (used with permission)

My first love is of course: dogs, competition and Rally obedience, positive dog training, horses, and positive horse training. My passion is being creative about breaking down and shaping dog and horse behaviors in a positive, proactive approach.

The mission of Positive Motivation Dog Training’s Obedience Programs is to effectively teach dog owners how to build a positive relationship, erecting a line of communication with their dogs and train in a positive and non-punishing way to promote success in whatever their goals may be. A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)

By popular request, I have also started a three level PMDT Trainer Academy. Each level is a week long intensive school for those of you that want to learn the ins and outs of becoming a certified dog trainer. You can earn maximum credits from CPDT and IAABC and become a Certified PMDTT!

Call or use my contact form to for more information. You may also check pricing or learn more about me!

The Black and White Club

This is what we are calling "The Black and White Club." It is a group of Pam and students (all but Lily are black and white), walking their dogs in a few different places (off leash). Right now, the cast of characters: Pam and Beau, Emma and Shadow (all Border collies), Karen

with Jett and Randy (Border collies) and Pearl (Collie), Jocelyn and Jack (Shetland sheepdog), Robin and Gigi (West Highland White Terrier), Susie and Lily (Golden Retriever). Susie just adopted a Border collie mix from Glenhighland Farm and Cappy will be joining us soon.

This is why we at PMDT want you to work on your whistle training <hint, hint>, because when you have off leash control, you have it all! Of course, whistle training is not all of it – building a positive relationship and heavily rewarding what you want and ignoring what you don’t want is also a huge part of our classes and the Black and White club.

We are always looking for new members of the club and hope you will take training your dog seriously, but happily so maybe you too can join someday! Requirements: off leash control (or your dog can start out dragging a long line), a million treats and toys and a dog that gets along with other dogs and people (the dogs don’t have to be black or white or a mixture to join in)!

The Black and White Club - Thanksgiving Walk

Thanksgiving morning’s cast of 13 dogs was Emma, Beau, Shadow, Jack, Jett, Randy, Pearl, Fritz, Gigi, Mr. T., Nicky, Cappy and the honorary black and white dog, Lily. We walked today at Karen’s 40 acre property. I was very impressed because we had 4 newcomers this morning – Fritz (whom I am watching for a few days), Mr. T. (3 legged Bichon Frise), Nicky (4 legged Bichon Frise) and Cappy (Lily’s new "brother"). As Robin (with Gigi) always says, "It doesn’t get any better than this." She’s right. ) A special thanks to Robin for video-taping these walks. I could do the taping – it is the putting it on Youtube that eludes me)
