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."

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.
