Lindsey Fontana-Dreszer

Lindsey Fontana-Dreszer is a certified dog behavior consultant who founded Dogby. She got her dog Gracie before starting a career in dog behavior and wanted to give her a great life. She was overwhelmed with conflicting information and little actionable advice when trying to learn more about dog behavior. Dogby was created to help people who are in the same position as Lindsey was with Gracie by sharing helpful information, trustworthy sources, and useful products that will make it easy and fun for you and your dog to have a strong relationship and an enriched life.

Training Philosophy

Lindsey believes in providing dogs with a great life by sharing helpful information, trustworthy sources, and useful products that will make it easy and fun for you and your dog to have a strong relationship and an enriched life.

Services

Dogby offers subscription boxes that include information, activities, games, and toys that are fun and enriching for dogs of all sizes and ages and their people, too. The boxes are designed to be just as fun and enriching for you as it is for your dog. Each box explores a different aspect of our dogs' world with information, activities, games, and toys that are interactive, fun, and enriching for dogs of all sizes and ages.

Lindsey Fontana-Dreszer holds a Certificate in Training and Counseling from the Academy for Dog Trainers. She graduated with honors in 2017.

We've got the answers for your questions

Who are the dog trainers listed on this page?

We have created a directory of licensed dog trainers specializing in positive reinforcement methods. These trainers are not affiliated with Dogo, and all information is gathered from publicly available sources. Each profile provides a brief overview of the trainer's experience and expertise.

How can I select the right trainer for my dog?

Start by evaluating your dog's needs and identifying your training objectives. Each trainer's profile provides insights into their areas of expertise. Match these with your dog's character and your goals to find the ideal fit.

How do I ensure these trainers are competent?

All trainers listed here are certified professionals with extensive knowledge of positive reinforcement techniques.

Why is positive reinforcement emphasized, and what is it?

Positive reinforcement centers on rewarding preferred behaviors, ensuring a pleasant learning journey for your dog. This humane approach is scientifically proven to be the most effective long-term training method, strengthening the bond between you and your pet. By consistently rewarding good behavior, your dog learns to associate actions with positive outcomes, leading to lasting improvements and a happier companion.

Are these trainers equipped to address specific behavioral problems?

Yes, they are. Our trainers are adept in basic obedience or intricate behavioral challenges. Browse their profiles to identify a trainer who specializes in the particular issues you wish to address.

How do I initiate a training program with a trainer?

Simply click on the preferred trainer's profile to access their contact details. From there, you can get in touch to discuss your requirements and set up training appointments.

How do group sessions differ from private ones?

Group sessions offer a communal setting where your dog learns general obedience alongside other dogs. In contrast, private sessions grant focused attention, making them perfect for targeted behavior modifications or individualized training agendas.

Which training techniques do these trainers abstain from?

All our trainers are committed to positive reinforcement techniques and steer clear of any harsh or punitive methods. Their primary goal is to make training a joyous journey for you and your dog.

When can I expect to see results using positive reinforcement training?

Results depend on factors like your dog's nature, the specific behaviors in question, and your training consistency. While many clients observe improvements in just a few sessions, it's crucial to be patient and persistent.

Can I attend a training session to observe before committing?

Reach out to the trainer you're interested in to discuss possibly attending a session. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and see if it aligns with your expectations.
