Feeling stuck with your puppy or struggling with new behavior challenges? I've got you covered!
Trust and communication are the foundation of every strong bond.
When you train with me, I teach you how to effectively communicate with your dog so that there is no guesswork on either end of the relationship. By utilizing proven reward-based training methods and games, you will see not only a transformation in your dogs behavior, but a strengthened bond among all who participate in training. Less frustration for you, less frustration for the pup, and more time to enjoy your new BFF!
Hello, I'm Pamela! Founder of Embark Dog Training on Long Island
I’m a certified dog trainer, honors graduate of Animal Behavior College, and founder of Embark Dog Training. My love for dogs started early, but it truly deepened in 2010 when I raised a puppy for Guiding Eyes for the Blind during college. Seeing that puppy become a life-changing guide dog for someone with vision loss sparked a passion for training that’s never left me.
​Though I earned degrees in Psychology and Social Work, my true passion has always been dog training. As a certified trainer through Animal Behavior College, I offer reward-based, private dog training across Long Island, from puppy basics to advanced behavior support. I’m also a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and committed to ongoing education.
​
Whether you're searching for puppy training, support with dog behavior challenges, or need a little help building confidence with your pup, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

TRAINING PACKAGES
​
Every dog and family needs something a little different. My training packages are designed to meet you where you are- whether you’re working through a couple of specific challenges or need more ongoing behavior support and guidance.
Packages are not about “how good” your dog is; they’re about how much support you want and what you’d like to work on together.
This package is a great fit if you're looking for 1 or 2 specific training concerns and want clear, professional guidance without a long-term commitment. Together, we'll focus on what matters most to you, create a simple, realistic plan, and practice the skills you need to move forward with confidence.
​
Commonly used for:
Potty Training
Crate Training
Troubleshooting a specific behavior
If you're looking for more consistency and follow-up, this package offers the space to build skills over time while adjusting as your dog progresses. This option allows us to slow things down, revisit challenges as needed, and provide continued guidance as new questions or situations arise.
​
Commonly used for:
Multiple training goals at once
Building consistency
Puppy Fundamentals
This package offers the most flexibility and ongoing support for more complex behavior concerns or long-term goals. It allows us to work through multiple goals while adjusting the plan as your dog learns, grows, and encounters new situations.
​
Commonly used for:
Several training goals
Anxiety or fear based behaviors
New rescues adjusting to a home​
