PRAISE FOR THE PROPER PUPPY
When we were ready to get a dog, I did a lot of research for a dog trainer. I found Lori and we immediately hit it off. She is so kind and helpful even before our first class! We got a strong-willed Bernedoodle named Kona! Lori has been there for my family, helping Kona become the loving pet she is today! If you are looking for a dog trainer Lori is your girl 1000%!

“We knew when we brought our new doodle puppy home, we wanted to get her into training as soon as possible. Friends with a German Shepard puppy recommended Lori. Coming to our home for one-hour sessions has been great. The individual training, one on one rather than in a class, has given my husband and me the tools we need to have a well-behaved yet fun dog. Our baby is five months old and is doing really well in all aspects. Of course, she is still a puppy and gets excited but that’s one of the things we love about her.
One of the best things Lori brings to the table is instructions and videos, via text or email, to help us maintain the training. She is available to answer lots of questions in between sessions. You simply can’t go wrong with Lori.”
