“My friend Sydney helped my puppy Xena learn “go to spot” and practice her “heel” outside. She was patient and rewarded Xena with her favorite treats to help make training easy for her. She did not push her past her limit and left room for her to make the right choice! I would highly recommend Sydney if you’re looking to get your pup trained by someone seasoned and experienced, she is so caring, genuine and just overall wonderful to work with!”

“Emily is very focused on what the current needs are and has helped me do the same. It's more about training me while observing the dog's behavior, and sharing insights into handling real world situations, like passing another reactive dog.”

About: What sets me apart from other trainers is working with dogs in multiple different settings such as walking, daycares and small playgroups has allowed me to have extensive experience with dogs of various breeds, ages and temperaments. It had also given me an extensive background in reading a dogs body language and socialization habits

About: After the end of every session I like to have play time with the dog to show that they did a good job now they can have some fun I’m extremely patient with them,all dogs are different and some just need alittle more patience and time I treat every dog as if they were my own We will have a graduation ceremony for your fur baby after they complete the course!

About: I believe what sets me apart from other trainers is that I have both experiences in training service dogs for people with disabilities and the basic family dog who is the fun-loving pet

“Laura is such a warm and helpful dog trainer! She is very kind and compassionate with our pup and always provides helpful tips to help with any behaviors!”

About: My approach is grounded in positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods, ensuring that both you and your pets have a rewarding and enjoyable training experience. I use the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to training. This method emphasizes using the least intrusive and minimally aversive strategies to achieve positive behavior change. By prioritizing the welfare and comfort of your pet, we ensure that the training process is as stress-free and effective as possible.

“Jen took the time to explain and educate my husband and I about our dog’s behavior. Jen is patient and encouraging and truly wants us to succeed!”

“James was incredible. We have a 12 week old puppy and needed a lot of guidance ourselves and also tips. He came and went above and beyond to provide us with knowledge and also train our puppy at the same time. I can already see such a difference in her after one session. Beyond worth the money and I WILL be rebooking with him!! Could not recommend enough”

Rebecca Y.

“Grace is knowledgeable, kind, communicative and a calming presence for my dog! She taught me and my pup a lot in just one session, leads with positive reinforcement and compassion, and I feel confident that after a few more sessions, my pup will be confident, calm, and ready to take on any challenge, big or small. I highly recommend Grace for doing training!”

“Our dog was struggling with separation anxiety and barking both at home and during walks. Lindsey came to our rescue with her incredible expertise and compassionate approach. From the beginning, Lindsey impressed us with her well-thought-out and clear step-by-step plans. She took the time to understand our dog's unique needs and tailored the training accordingly. Her strategies were effective and easy to follow. Lindsey's patience and dedication were evident in every session, and we saw significant improvements quickly. We highly recommend her - she has a gift!”

About: I combine precise timing, deep behavioral insight, and a structured approach that helps dogs learn faster with less stress and confusion. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all method, I tailor each session to the individual puppy’s temperament, energy, and learning style. My focus on building trust, clarity, and lasting habits creates results that go beyond obedience—shaping calm, confident dogs for real-life environments.

“Jade is very knowledgeable, intelligent and respectful of where the customer is at. I’m so happy to have found someone like her!”

Dawn R.

“Maura was great with our aussie puppy! If you’ve tried to do your own training or just fell off the wagon with it like myself, these sessions will still be very helpful. From one session we now have multiple drills that we use to shift his behavior into one that is much more tolerable and I can see us being a lot less stressed or frustrated because of it. Would definitely recommend and well worth the money.”

“Collin S is a dedicated and compassionate animal enthusiast. He is very conscientious of the health and well being of our dog (Sophie) and cat (Xayah). He is knowledgeable and seeks out additional information to better serve the animals he comes in contact with. The amount of time he spends devoted to caring for animals and seeking out knowledge, demonstrates a level of commitment he has to training our animals as well as others.”
