Working with Valerie has been amazing! For a little bit of background my corgi came to her at about 1.5 years old with some progressively getting worse reactivity issues. I tried everything I could on my own but was at my wits end and really needed help. Since then I have worked with her for several months and wow what a difference! I remember crying everyday from taking my dog out for walks but now my dog and I are both building our confidence and bond with Valerie’s help. Valerie is so knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff and really takes the time to explain the why’s when it comes to training. I really recommend her as she has done so much good for my dog and I!!

Had a Senior Rescue dog with behavioral issues. Valerie helped address and came up with solutions to help.

I started training at PBH with my current dog, Charlie, in February of this year. We attended a group puppy obedience class that was well structured and helpful. Towards the end of the class, Charlie started exhibiting increased reactivity. Our instructor (Amanda) made helpful recommendations on how to deal with the behavior in the moment and also connected me to another instructor, Val (PBH owner) for private lessons. We have attended 5 private lessons at this point in time and I am extremely satisfied with the instruction and guidance I have received. Charlie and I have made big strides over the past year. We are still working through things, but the changes I have seen during our time working with Val feel monumental. The passion that Val and her staff have for what they do is very obvious in the way they instruct, interact with clients and their dogs, and conduct their business. I am so happy my Vet recommended them for training! Can’t wait for what we will continue to learn!! I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking to learn how to better communicate with their dog.

I have been training at PBH since 2019 with my Golden Retriever (Gizmo). We started with obedience, then we graduated to rally obedience and now we are also doing agility.We first went to PBH because I needed help in getting Gizmo to listen to me and now he even got AKC titles in rally obedience!Gizmo is my first dog and in these years at PBH I learned so much about dogs and how to work with him in a positive way. All the trainers have been supportive and always gave us great advice. All the trainers at PHB are very knowledgeable and will help you with whatever you need.Gizmo loves PHB and we will keep enrolling in classes. When I'll get a new puppy I will definitely participate in puppy classes as well.

Val has 20 years of experience training dogs and their owners. She really helped me acclimate my sons dog into my pack when my son passed away. She offers real life solutions that fit the situation. Highly recommend.

We met for a free evaluation and had such a negative experience we were not interested in signing up for any classes.The instructor we met with was immediately aggressive and offered constant destructive criticism about our dogs behavior. She questioned whether we had ever taken out dog to a class, anywhere outside our neighborhood, or done any training. Her tone was always demeaning and very rude. We love learning how to train our dogs better and receiving feedback, but were not interested in being berated. Perhaps other trainers here are better or it was just a bad day for her, but I can't recommend this facility.

PBH is the best training facility in the Triangle area. I have taken 2 dogs to agility competitions and am currently working with 2 rescues. Val has helped my Pit mix rescue become a confident dog without anxiety and destructive behaviors. All using positive methods of training. PBH instructors strive for the dogs and handlers to have FUN working together in whatever they pursue. I have been to a couple other training facilities but no one else has been about the whole dog and learning the why behind behavior. My dogs love going to classes at PBH and so do I.

Hands down the best training center in the triangle. They can take you and your dog to high level competition in Agility, Rally, Obedience and more. They use positive training methods and make sure the dogs and handlers are having fun working together. I have taken two dogs to agility competitions and am currently working with two rescues. Val has worked independently with my Pit mix to help her with anxiety and destructive behavior. She was very encouraging that we could help her and she is now a Novice agility dog and good house mate. My dogs love PBH and so do I.
