Customer Reviews

Lola Carey has received many positive reviews from her clients. Here are a few examples:

• The Burton Family: "We are loving being able to help OP enjoy life. Working with Lola at Lucky Leash has provided tangible results for our dog Op. Op has had issues with anxiety and being in the car. We recently took OP with us on a trip to Vancouver. When we arrived, we took OP out of the car and walked into an unknown environment with men around. He walked up to the men and said an appropriate doggie hello and went about his business of smelling things. There were so many loud sounds and unfamiliar sounds and he didn’t bark or act in any way but calm and just ok. It was amazing! We also took him through a drive-through and he only barked once. We told him to chill, and he did. Basically, he had no car issues. Even at the drive-through window, his bark was more curious than protective. He is so calm now and so much more relaxed. We are loving being able to help OP enjoy life. We wouldn’t have been able to come to this place without Lola’s help and guidance. I am so very impressed with Lola’s attention to OP’s well being and her love for dogs truly shows in the way she handles every situation."
