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.

"Highly highly recommend Embark Dog Training! You will be AMAZED by how much your puppy will learn in a month!!! Pamela has taught us how to effectively communicate with our little one and see results. She is patient, loving, and so encouraging!
Our little girl Chibi learned not only her name but so many important skills such as sit, down, recall, stay, wait, leash skills, housebreaking, puppy manners... and so much more! She is a totally different puppy thanks to Pamela's help. Highly recommend!!!!"
