The Maine Pack

We just love The Maine Pack! We just brought our 2 year old rescue pup to them for help with nervousness around other dogs and leash training. We entered her into their 3 week train/board course and got her back two weeks ago and are so happy with the results! Abigail and her crew were able to give our dog a wonderful base of training that we can build on at home. Before we brought our dog to them we didn’t have a good language to use with her, now we can actually communicate what we want to her and she understands! We love that they train all the dogs in a home environment (instead of a kennel) and they get so much real world experience and socialization there! We will definitely keep bringing our dog there for additional socialization and boarding whenever we can. And if you don’t follow

I can't thank Abigail enough, she helped transform my pitbull with such a good foundation going forward. I wish I would have signed up earlier!! She took so much time to answer my questions and train me so I could train my dog with terms and actions he understands. I'm so hopeful for my dogs future now which is a complete 180 from the pure panic that my dog was going to eat someone or another dog before her training. I wish I could send him to summer camp with her every summer! Thank you so much!! ❤️

We enrolled our pit/boxer rescue into the 18 day board and train program to address his lease reactivity to other dogs/men/runners, general obedience, and focus in public places. And, boy oh boy, was it worth it. We went from being extremely anxious walking him in secluded places to being able to walk him in public places with complete confidence. Abigail does an extremely good job creating a solid base for obedience and addressing the issues brought to her. Most importantly, she is extremely thorough on teaching you how to employ these practices during the ‘go home’ session. We continue to bring him to The Maine Pack for weekly training days to solidify his socialization with other dogs. He’s continues to become more confident on how to play appropriately, calmer in groups settings, and,

We met with Abby for a couple of private training sessions shortly after bringing our puppy home and found them to be immensely helpful in establishing a foundation for training and socialization, even in the midst of a pandemic. She truly seems to understand what a dog is feeling and how that dog will respond to leadership. We couldn't be happier with the way she communicates with both us and our dog. Given that he's still a puppy, new issues continue to crop up and she always has the perfect response for how to handle them. We can easily see ourselves working with Abby and The Maine Pack for years - we couldn't imagine a better dog trainer!

Abby & The Maine Pack absolutely changed our dog’s life! We sent our pup for a two week board and train to work on some reactivity & guarding behaviors. Abby was kind, understanding and gave us confidence that we could change our relationship with our dog. Since sending Rosie to TMP she has been worlds happier— able to be off leash, remain calm is busy settings, and meet new dogs & people. Abby also does a wonderful job of staying in touch with resources and training for the owner so you can keep up the work at home and sends lots of videos so you can peak in on how everyone is progressing. I can’t say enough about The Maine Pack (and do to anyone who will listen)
