About

We understand animals... We understand the people who love their animals. We understand that people learn by example, and we always opt to set a fine example. We don't believe in gadgets, we don't believe in "trends"... we believe that animals communicate the same way today as they did 100 years ago. We believe that teaching people how to understand their animals and communicate with them is the simplest answer to training. Our ability to understand the animal also helps us take amazing care of them when you are away. From a training perspective, we like the fact that a household with a pet can be transformed into a home with a loving companion animal. From a pet sitting perspective, we are happy that the pets are as comfortable with us as they are with their owners.

In a very short time, Lori has helped and taught me all about training my little 3year old Yorkie with a very patient and easy style. My Minnie liked her right away and has really caught on after only 3 visits..amazing. Lori is extremely knowledge about dogs and has been a great source of information for me as my goal is to bring Minnine to work with me at times in a hospital. She gas been very helpful with this process. Can't thank Lori enough!!!!

Lori has been working helping us with basic training with our 2 Bernese dogs (female, 4yr and male, 2yr) and we have learned how to use the training to manage dog aggression with our male. Lori is very flexible, always on time and came to our house for the training and she also met us at the park so she could evaluate our male around other dogs.

I had a very good expirience with Lori from the word go . I was contacted by 4 trainers . Besides Lori none of them addresses anything I was concerned about or a plan of action to care care of my dogs . It was just how much and they where a lot and what they do . Basically they send the same thing to everybody . This is not the case with Lori . Within minutes of arriving at my home she had my dogs doing things I didn't think where even possible in that short period of time . I have 2 male rotti pups . Answered all my questions and is very flexible . I have only good things to say totally impressed .

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The prices vary by the wants and needs... Please call, I don't think you will be disappointed
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
We attend clinics when they come up, but the real world is the truest clinic there is...
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I grew up with Germand Shepherds that my mother had trained. Back in "the day" trainers were harsh, and when one hit my mother's dog in the face, she refused to use such trainers again and did it all on her own. My daughter has followed my lead, but she opts to maintain the pet sitting portion.
