My family has tried multiple dog trainers in the area in the past, and since getting my own puppy, I took a shot in the dark with someone new to get him trained well to be an amazing life companion. I’m so glad I took that shot. My puppy, Juneau, has come such a long way in such a short time! He is becoming such a well behaved little guy. Lana is so helpful, and the information she gives during training is very valuable when it comes to helping your pup retain the information and continue good behaviors. She’s positive, and very professional. She has even gone above and beyond training for us! When my pup was lethargic and not himself one evening at training after some vaccinations, she gave me some very helpful and insightful information for a first time puppy owner. She even asked me to

If I had to do Puppy Class over, I would start before 5 months. Enjoying the classes.

I have heard great things about Lana's services but she wasn't overly welcoming when I called a year or so ago... I was asking for advice and any class options for my dog who was 7yo at the time. She basically told me the dog is too old to be obedient and didn't offer me any classes. A little pushy with her COVID vaccine thoughts too.. and it takes a lot for me to say that because I am all for it.

Having struggled to find a trainer to work with me and my dog Zoey, the third time was the charm. I immediately felt that I have found the right trainer with Lana. We had a private lesson and she addressed all my concerns about training and set up a plan we will follow moving forward. Her experience and professionalism were obvious. Great place to bring your fur baby!!!
