Welcome to Pawsome Pups Dog Training
A Certified Professional Dog Trainer supporting Loudoun, Maryland, West Virginia, and Northern Virginia.
Bridget is a certified dog trainer with CPDT-KA with the CCPDT. She is an Internationally known Positive Rewards Based dog trainer, and provides in-home training for all breeds of dogs on house training, loose leash walking, behavior issues and/or basic manners training.
My goal is to help dog owners better understand their canine companions, and how to communicate with them better through positive re-enforcement training. I want to help educate owners on how their minds work based on the science of how dogs learn, understand what you want from them and how to communicate to them what you expect of them through positive re-enforcement training. Positive re-enforcement training is rewards based training.
I will help you learn how to socialize your dog, exercise your dog, and train your dog for his/her and your best possible happiness as a companion dog with positive rewards based methods.
I want to teach owners there is a kinder and gentler way to train dogs without the old fashion ways of the past with choke collars, pinch collars and shock collars.
A well trained dog is a happy and calm dog, an exercised dog is a well behaved dog, a mental stimulated dog is a happy dog which equals a happy owner!

Amazing rescue: Thomas of Romania
A story of Bridget adopting a severely abused dog from Romania who had become aggressive towards his handlers. See his documentary story of his progression to becoming an ambassador for Positive Reinforcement dog friendly training.
Thomas was found in October of 2015 in Baia Mare, Romania. He was rescued in the middle of the night by people willing to risk their own well being to save his life. Thomas went from death’s door, to becoming an award winning dog. Thomas now lives with me and is a staple of the Pawsome Pups family.
