We have worked with dog trainers with previous dogs and Carol is by FAR the best! After one visit our little pup is well on his way to great manners.

Carol Lynn has been a great partner in the training of our new 4 month old Sheltie, Mia. We have learned so much as a family and Mia is eager for her daily training. Carol Lynn has exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog trainer.

Carol Lynn has been helping us train our westie puppy for a few weeks now and he's made amazing process. She uses clicker training and is really great with both us and our puppy. She shows us exactly how we should go about teaching our puppy and corrects us to make sure we are on the right track. It is exactly the precise instruction we were looking for and our puppy is picking up things so quickly. She also responds to our text messages promptly in between lessons in case we have questions or need clarifications on the lesson. I would recommend Carol Lynn to anyone serious about having a well trained dog.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 1 years old • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • Puppy training • Leash pulling • House training • Barking • Digging • Biting • Chewing • Destructive behavior • Crate training • Private dog training lessons • The dog trainer travels to me

We met Carol Lynn today and had our first training session. She is very gentle with our dog yet firm enough to help him to understand his place in the pack. She's teaching us while training him and providing great information about the "why" behind his actions. After one lesson, we saw some positive changes. We look forward to the progress to come in the 5 additional sessions we've signed up for.

Carol Lynne is lovely, experienced and my Beaux really seems to enjoy his lessons. I chose Carol Lynn because of her certifications and the ability to teach my dog basic training and get him ready for therapy dog work. I recommend her highly.
