Proud rescue bully momma

Hi there! I was a professional behavioral team member for a local Humane Society and a certified animal-assisted therapist with a deep passion for helping dogs (and their people!) thrive. I’m also a proud rescue momma to three amazing pups of my own, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you—they’re family. My specialty is working with reactive and fearful dogs, and I have extensive experience with large and strong breeds like German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Mastiffs, and of course, the lovable pitties and bully breeds. Whether your pup needs extra patience, structure, or just someone who understands their unique personality, I’ve got the skills and heart to help. When your dog is in my care, you can count on a calm, experienced handler who uses positive reinforcement, clear communication, and lots of love. I tailor every interaction to your dog’s needs, whether that means slow introductions, confidence-building walks, or just a quiet cuddle with a trusted friend. Let’s work together to make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and happy while you’re away. 🐾

Leilani was amazing with my dog Cade. He’s almost 12 and he’s picky about who he likes and he loves her! She worked with how anxious he can be at first and sent wonderful updates and pictures! She took the best care of him. She gave me such peace of mind while I was away and is super sweet! I hope to rebook with her again soon!

Leilani has been amazing and is so great with our dog. We don’t have the most consistent schedule and she has been great with trying to find something that works. Our pup loves her and we cannot recommend her enough.

I specialize in working with fearful and reactive dogs. With training in behavior recognition and safe handling, I know how to spot early signs of stress and respond appropriately. I focus on creating a calm, supportive environment—using redirection, distance, and positive reinforcement to help dogs feel safe and respected. Every dog deserves patience and understanding, and I’m here to provide exactly that.
