Customer Reviews
Sylvia:
“I wish Lee had been a trainer when we first got our golden retriever Emma. Lee is the third trainer we have had, and in two months she has turned around Emma’s behavior. She has instilled the behaviors that are making our dog easier to walk with on a leash and take places where there are other people and dogs showing good doggie manners.”
Suzy:
“I highly recommend Lee as an excellent dog trainer. Her understanding of training principles along with her love of dogs make her a natural. We adopted our older lab earlier this year. He came to us with very little training. After some group classes, Lee helped with some of Mike’s tougher issues. One issue was pulling so hard on the leash that his previous owner used a prong collar. Lee worked with Mike and I with positive reinforcement and repetition and he now walks nicely by our side on our daily walks on a loose lead. He also has been certified as a therapy dog and we visit assisted living and memory care places, libraries, and fire departments. Lee proved that she can teach an old dog new tricks!”
