About
Hey Dog Parents, I'm Lynsey. And I believe your dog should be part of your active lifestyle.
I get it dog moms and dads. You got a dog to be part of your active lifestyle. Whether that means weekends hiking in the woods, sipping craft beer at your local brewery, or a quiet weekend snuggling on the couch, your dog should be your partner in crime.
I also know what it's like to be unable to do anything with your dog. It hurts your heart and soul when you cannot share your lifestyle with your pup. It's heartbreaking. But it doesn't need to be that way.
I help dog parents achieve their dream dog through dog training to transform any dog into a well-behaved and balanced family member.

A quick note on scheduling training: We're currently booking into January 2026 for our Doggy Boot Camp Board & Train Programs with only a few scattered spots available before then. If you need help now, please schedule a call. Lynsey will come out to your home to get you started in the training process before your pup comes to us to learn!

We chose Sunshine and Lynsey based on her willingness to spend time with us off the clock to discuss the issues we were having with our Great Dane, Lady MoCa. Lynsey spent over an hour getting a feel for whether she would be a good fit for a training partner with us. I am so glad she chose us!Lady spent a couple of weeks with Lynsey at board and train - we called it boot camp . Lady came back with a new attitude! She was still her same personality, but we were able to have people over without Lady losing it! We continued to work with Lynsey and her training tools and Lady has been well trained for over a year and a half and she still listens to us!Lady was wild! She would jump on people, bite, run away, pull on the leash, and make it generally impossible to walk her. After training, Lady is still a bit cray cray but she listens when we say no and she comes back when we say here. She stays on down as needed, sits on the floor while we eat without begging, and walks very tamely on her leash.We could not be happier with the changes Lynsey helped bring about so we could enjoy our life with Lady MoCa!!
Sunshine K9 Training's reply
Thank you for you kind words, Rhonda. Lady MoCa was such a sweetheart. Great Danes are big and to have one as rambunctious as her can be quite the challenge! I'm so glad you chose me to help you teach that lovely lady how to be calmer. 🐾☀️

Lynsey did such an amazing job with my dog Otis! He was very reactive and not a very good listener before his time with Lynsey, and now he is such a gentleman! He has his same goofy personality, but is able to behave himself and listen so well now! She really cares for the dogs in her program and obviously wants the best for them during and after their training. Could not thank Lynsey enough for all of her help with Otis!!
Sunshine K9 Training's reply
Otis sure was a sassy, spunky dude, as many corgis are! Thank you so much for trusting me with his training. He made such an amazing turn around and is another great example of how smaller dogs can be well-behaved just like the big guys!

Marty did a 3 week board and train with Lynsey almost 2 years ago and I cant say enough about the lasting changes we saw in Marty! She helped transform Marty into the well behaved dog he is today. She worked with him (and us) on commands and being able to remain calm and listen in chaos (3 young active kids in our family). Highly recommend Lynsey and Sunshine Training!
Sunshine K9 Training's reply
Oh little Marty! I loved working with your family! Thanks so much for sharing your experience! So many people think that little dogs can't be trained, but he did amazing! I'm ecstatic to hear that nearly 2 years later he's still a well-behaved gentleman. Proud of you for keeping up with the training with such a busy household. You're amazing, Jessica!

I have had the utmost pleasure meeting and working with Lynsey. She is a blessing and an angel and has made our life easier and nicer! My little one is living her best life and we are both happier due to the training Lynsey has provided and its been consistent!!!I never thought it could go so well. Junie was super anxious and super protective of me and it was hard to predict situations with other dogs.Thank you - from the bottom of my heart. We go to Home Depot and Petsmart now! Its lovely!
Sunshine K9 Training's reply
Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I'm so proud of you for continuing to work with Junie even after training! You're amazing and so is your dog! ❤️🐾☀️

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been working with dogs since I was 16 years old. I've worked for several county animal service units and animal shelters and continue to volunteer to help dogs in our community. I've owned Sunshine K9 Training since March of 2019 and have been helping owners solve serious dog problems ever since. I have shadowed world renowned dog trainers and am forever learning as dogs have so much to teach us.
I am an AKC Canine Good Citizen and S.T.A.R. Puppy evaluator. I have also received a certification in the utilization of Herm Sprenger prong collars.
While working in the Atlanta area, I went through the licensing process to be able to board & train dogs in my home. We adhere to all state and county permitting processes and welcome questions about our Standard Operating Procedures regarding cleaning, temperatures, emergency situations, and record keeping. For any questions regarding this information, please don't hesitate to ask.
