Pawsense

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience with Diana! She worked with our Bernese Mountain Dog, Winston, during a two-week board and train in April, and the results were incredible. He now walks calmly on a loose leash, knows how to self-soothe by going to his place, and responds to commands like “leave it” and “quiet.” We’re communicating so much better with him thanks to her. Diana’s positive reinforcement approach and incredible patience made all the difference. She took the time to get to know both Winston and us, and her daily updates (with photos!) kept us totally in the loop. I can’t recommend her enough—if you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring trainer, Diana is the one!

Pawsense was the absolute best place for my dog and we were so sad when Diana left Maryland to go to Texas. I had recently adopted my dog Boss Man when I first took him to Pawsense, I was lucky to find Diana and for this to be his first experience with day care and boarding. Not only are they extra careful with your dogs (they do checks when dogs first arrive to make sure no sick dogs enter), they focus on enrichment while there. Just from attending Pawsense at daycare and boarding he picked up good behaviors and he would come home with new skills. Not only would Boss Man come home happy, he came home as a better behaved dog. This is because Diana really knows what she is doing- she is certified and keeps up with continuous education courses. She can spot behavioral issues early on and give you the guidance and support to correct them. Because Boss Man had such positive experiences at Pawsense, he was easily able to join other doggy play groups and a new boarding facility after Diana left because of the attention to behavior correction and skills that he learned at Pawsense.

My mom and I took a ten day vacation in June 2022. We needed a place to board our two large dogs for almost two weeks. It was a challenge finding a place that had ample outdoor space, as well as time with other dogs. We landed on Pawsense and could not have been happier with our decision. Pawsense had our dogs for 13 days and took such great care of them! Mom and I looked forward to our daily report cards and loved seeing pictures of our boys having fun. When we picked them up, they didn’t seem stressed or anxious after such a long time. I cannot recommend Pawsense enough for either daycare or boarding. I would give ten stars, five for each dog, if I could. The pictures came from our report cards!

I cannot say enough great things about Diana and her staff! We had tried another daycare before finding Pawsense, and I am so glad I made the switch. I have never felt so content leaving Milo in someone else's care. His body language shows me how much he loves spending his Wednesday's away from home and hanging with his friends. If I say "daycare" he is headed for the door; when we turn onto the street he starts getting the wiggles and knows exactly where we are. I am so glad we found Diana and her crew, and I know Milo is too! Getting those report cards make my day :).

I started taking my dog, Trina, to see Diana in March and have loved it ever since! I go 1-2x a week and Trina loves Diana and her 2 dogs. Trina gets along with all the other dogs that Diana watches and she makes new friends all the time! What I really like about Diana’s daycare is her nice, fenced 1/2 acre grass backyard. She even sets outs a kiddy pool with water for the dogs too drink and cool off. Also, it’s really nice that the dogs get to come inside and relax in the comforts of her home and not a kennel or crate. Last, I was sold on Diana’s love and knowledge of dogs (she is also certified). It’s like having vet recommendations without the vet costs. Haha.
