Testimonials
“For those of you who really want to get to know your dog’s nature, gain his respect, and, yes, his love, this holistic approach is enlightening. The bonus is that your dog will walk better on a leash, sit, and other types of calm and polite behavior, naturally. Leah’s YouTube videos are extremely helpful and clear. She is always ready to listen to any question and concern, and, responds immediately whether by text, email or phone. I really appreciated Leah’s compassionate treatment of both canine and human.”
– Allyson M.
“Leah has helped me on several occasions with my unruly hound dogs. She has encouraged me in embracing the quality of their breed and she has been right about every situation we have faced to date. She is intuitive and genuinely cares about the dogs she is training. She is encouraging, smart, passionate, and a great teacher. I highly recommend Leah and this program to anyone seeking to better understand their dog.”
– Jennifer Grace
“I got Apollo last Oct 2018 when he was 4 months old and emaciated. He was afraid of a lot….the dark, the leaves blowing around, my putting food into his dish etc. None of the other methods of ‘traditional’ training that worked with my other dog seemed to work with him. He was starting to become afraid of me as well… Leah’s method of training has pushed me way outside my comfort zone but the improvements I have seen in Apollo in such a short time have convinced me this is the way to go. I look forward to seeing the awesome dog I know he will be under Leah’s training methods.”
