Pearl means so much to our family. She taught me how to be a good dog owner to our Weimar, Hayley and our Doberman/Great Dane, Strider. I enjoyed her from the moment I met her. She had a perfect balance of sternness and a huge heart full of love. She touched and changed so many lives for the better. It alway blessed me so much to see her light up any time I was in the store with the dogs, or my children. Every time I was running errands near the Petsmart store, I would look for her car, and if she was there, we would go in just to say hello. I believe Pearl had a calling on her life to work with animals and their owners. She did an outstanding job of fulfilling that calling. She will be forever remembered by me. Never forgotten.

Precious lady that I met at Pet Smart. She was teaching obedience classes when I took my Sidney (Tiny Yorkie) in. He refused to do anything for her. He would hide under my chair and peek out at her. She would even offer him treats and he wouldn't take them. Finally, on the last lesson, I told her to ask him if he wanted to go see the boys (meaning the other dogs at home). She did and he went right up to her wagging his tail and took a treat! She got the biggest kick out of that and always talked about it. She said, "Mommy, you are the one that needs training! Not Sidney! He has You trained! He is spoiled rotten!" She loved Sidney from then on and would fuss at me when I came in the store without him. We are going to miss you so much my dear sweet precious friend! You touched our lives deeply and you will remain in our hearts forever! Love you Pearl

I met Pearl as a trainer at petsmart, but she was so much more than our trainer. She was my dear friend and I miss her so very much.

Knowing Pearl, I know she would be "correcting my behavior" with a stern "naaah" for being sad, but it is impossible not to be. Thank you for everything you did for us and for your teachings. Goliath, Maria Elena and I will truly miss you. I regret not being able to say good bye my friend. We'll see you upstairs.

I got to know Pearl from her testing of my dog and I for Love on a leash. I always made it a point to stop and talk to her when I was at Petsmart. When I heard she had passed, my heart broke. She will be missed so much.

We will truly miss Pearl. She was a no nonsense trainer, and had a big heart for the therapy dog programs of all kinds.God bless you, Pearl.

I did not know Pearl except as a dog trainer at PetSmart. She was stern, no nonsense, and kind. She seemed to have a true calling to help animals and their fumbling new owners. We will remember her words of wisdom for years to come.

Pearl became a very good friend of mine while trainning my pug to be a therapy dog. She has always been a spunky little lady, Malie & I fell in love with her spirit & strength which was so inspiring. We will miss her very much.
