January National Dog Training Month

Axl is a very headstrong Bully. We had gone to another dog obedience class & just gave up. We signed up with Pamela’s class & have seen such a change in Axl-her methods of training seemed to just ‘click’. He can walk by the cats without chasing them, is much calmer-we couldn’t be happier! Thanks Pamela!

Pamela is a Top-Notch professional with a lifetime of experience handling and training animals and competing in both equine and canine sports. Ten years ago I met Pamela when searching for an Agility trainer in NE FL and have taken multiple classes with her in both Agility & Obedience. I have referred her several times to help friends and rescue organizations with problem dogs and to teach local classes. Pamela is one of the very few individuals whom I would trust to care for my crazy, high-driv…

Thank you for a great puppy class.  We both enjoyed class yesterday. Thank you.   Alyse

Fantastic!!! We saw great results after just the first visit. Pamela didn’t even wait until she came to our house to begin helping us. Our puppy was showing some aggressive behavior and possessiveness. She called us to set up a time to meet and gave some short term help until she could get to us. You will be amazed with the personal, professional training she will give you. She not only helps train your dog, she trains you to be a better trainer. She customizes her training to each person who ha…

We have been your agility students for approximately seven months, and have learned a great deal from you. Brady is young German Shepard and extremely energetic.  He shows a great deal of interest in other dogs and is easily distracted. I have seen him mature and develop concentration skills which I believe is the result of your patience. You never appear frustrated with either of us as we both make “amateur” mistakes in agility. I too have learned a great deal from you.  Your personal interact…

We are so happy with the care for our Lab and for the excellent dog training she is undergoing. I would highly recommend Far Fetched Tales for the training and care of my dog.

Simply amazed of how quickly our German Shepherd puppy of 12 weeks responded to  your training methods!  Hernando   

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our Murphy! We are able to enjoy our trips knowing we can count on Far Fetched Tales to take such good care of her!

Far Fetched Tales is always very professional in training our dog and for taking care of her when we travel. We don’t worry at all when we go on vacation. We know she is well cared for and happy!

What a Far Fetched Tales Client has to say: I used “here” with “leave it” and Maggie didn’t run into the mud around the pond today. 🙂 I want to say thanks for all your hard work with us! Marni and Maggie Far Fetched Tales Dog Training, Jacksonville, FL

The tips Pamela taught me have done wonders for my Micah, and I have continued the lessons at home ever since. I feel more and more comfortable taking him on walks without a leash (because she drove home the importance of release words and call signs). Thanks again.

This is great, thank you! Loved the class! It was awesome.  Mac and I had a blast! 

Lisa and Mac

We learned so much during the last 6 weeks!  Loved all your class handout information!  Looking forward to your AKC -CGC Classes!  Hernando, FL   

Thanks so much, Pamela!  We (and I think Bella) really enjoyed the class.  Though she still has a long way to go, she has already come a long way.  Thanks again for your help and patience.  Nancy, Wes and Bella

 

Just wanted to give a hearty recommendation on an excellent dog trainer we have been working with.  Our new golden retriever puppy (Emma) was pretty much out of control so we asked Pamela Wiltgen of “Far Fetched Tales Dog Training” to help.  Over the course of 3 one hour sessions, she immediately established a dog-whisperer-like” relationship with Emma and taught us techniques to use.  The result is a very big improvement in behavior and an arsenal of techniques and tools we now routinely use.

Pamela is the best. Patient, firm and respectful of you puppy’s/dog and an excellent trainer. We have had private lessons with Pamela for our GSD puppy and have seen drastic changes in his behavior. We wanted to train him right this time (after having 3 unruly dogs in the past) and have him be social and obedient and Pamela gave us the tools to work with. Immediately when she comes through your door she starts the training and her reward based training goes into motion. Our dear puppy Cody…

Our private training session today was so much fun and helpful thank you again!  We’re really looking forward to seeing how Holly’s inner spirit and agility continues to develop with your help and guidance.   Fernandina, FL   

Labradoodle Puppy Training  Thank you for helping us out with our problem child!  So glad we contacted you!  Citrus Hills 

We can never thank you enough for all you have done to help us with Chewie.  You have gone above and beyond, and we are so grateful!  Thank you! Melissa, Dave, Emma, and our lab puppy Chewie  

 Luna and I learned so much! Thanks for teaching us. We are looking forward to future classes!

Five days after our first appointment our dog has already improved. Our ‘bad’first dog is behaving better than our ‘good’ dog. He still needs work but we are very happy with Pamela’s methids and we are looking forward to the next step.   Orange Park, FL

Just a note to say thank you again for our first obedience class. Expected some sits etc. Never expected such a thorough analysis of my relationship with my dog. Right on – too controlling and not enough fun.  Working on homework and thinking of puzzles. She’s asking me to play again already.

Pam,

Just a quick note to compliment you on your training methods.

I’ve been doing this a long time and have both experienced a number of trainers and have trained beginners classes myself, although its obvious I’ve forgotten a lot!

The three things I especially have noticed is your ability to identify a specific point in the dogs behavior and go back to reinforce that point. IE missing the first jump in a sequence. You change the training goal to ‘first jump’ rather that trying to …

Private Lesson Customer: Pamela, I cannot believe Banjo is the same dog! I’m so glad I made the decision for you to come to the house for a private lesson! We have been practicing our homework, and when we went for a walk today, he didn’t even look at the dog he normally wants to attack! They walked by and his owner told me that this is the best she has ever seen him! This was his first walk where we came across another dog since you were here on Thursday, that’s only 3 days ago! We were so …
