Ashley is an incredibly knowledgeable, empathetic and gifted dog trainer/behaviorist. She has taught me how to better understand what Clancy, my separation anxiety, “big feelings” dog, is trying to communicate and needs in any situation, and how to provide him with the guidance, security and enrichment he needs to be more confident and secure in any environment. She tailors each lesson to where both Clancy and I are at in the process, always offering encouragement along the way. Clancy and I are incredibly lucky to have Ashley as a coach. Because of her, I have a better, more fulfilling relationship with my dog. I highly recommend Ashley and her services.

My experience with Ashley was more than I could of dreamt. The amount of thought, patience and consideration in every action she took with me and my pup was so lovely. The 6 week puppy course I took is way more than simple commands. It is about using simple tools to build a complex loving relationship with your dog, isn't that what we all want? I am so happy that my pup had such a important learning experience and a foundational support system. Everything I learned with Ashley I will be utilizing everyday with my pup. I am so happy I took this course. Highly recommend!

We could not be more pleased with our experience with Partnering Paws. Ashley's wealth of knowledge and patience to work with us and our dog was nothing short of extraordinary. Her attention to detail and her in depth explanations made our training experience not just enjoyable but was an amazing learning experience. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking to work with their dog in integrating them into their household. She is so much more than what you would expect of a trainer. Her love for the dogs shines through in everything she does.

Ashley has been amazing to work with since the day I contacted her. She met with us and asked exactly what we were looking for and made a plan tailored to our dog’s needs. Ashley has so much patience and knowledge of dog’s behavior. She always wants to make sure my dogs feel comfortable with training using positive reinforcement. Ashley has helped me to have a better relationship with my dogs by teaching me to offer them more enrichment in their lives.

Ashley is compassionate, patient and a true expert on dog behavior. She helped us to "listen" to what our dogs are telling us and taught us excellent skills to cope with some challenging behaviors. One of our dogs is anxious in certain situations and I can see his signals now and I can be a better pet parent to help him cope and live a better life. I highly recommend her services

I highly recommend Ashley both for training and enrichment. Our dog has special needs that other trainers have not been able to help us with. Ashley has helped us to understand the reasons behind the behaviors. We now enjoy our walks with our dog and training is fun, rather than work! We feel that Ashley loves him almost as much as we do. The enrichment activities she provides are priceless. We, along with our dog, have come a long way with Ashley’s help. Thank you Ashley! We are all living our best life!!

As inexperienced dog owners, Ashley was a God-send for us. She taught us how to understand and meet our dog’s needs. Our dog is now able to effectively communicate with us, and understands most everything we say to him.

Our staffie was a rescue who barely knew his own name when we got him. We were not able to walk him in the neighborhood without him pulling on leash and reacting to both people and other dogs. Ashley taught us leash handling and management skills that have given us and our dog confidence. Ashley taught us how to first meet our dog’s needs before focusing on behaviors. What used to be a stressful event, is now a pleasurable experience for us and our dog.

If you are looking to improve your relationship with your dog, Ashley is the person for you! We are currently working with Ashley on separation anxiety training. We are hopeful with the progress we are seeing!

Thank you Ashley for all you have done for us and Copenhagen. Our lives would not be the same without you. ❤️
