Testimonials
It has been such a pleasure working with Coaching Canine Companions. Lorrie is such an incredible trainer with so much great experience! She has a different approach to training that is all about calming the nervous system and involving play. She has helped me to connect with my rescue pup on a deeper level which is helping him heal from his past situation. Lorrie is so knowledgeable and provides helpful resources and information that will be useful for years to come. She is now Auntie Lorrie as my dog LOVES going for his sessions. Thank you Lorrie, we love you!
– Client
Awesome! When we started with Lorrie, we couldn’t walk our dogs on leach–they pulled so much! Now they are a treat to walk. Their recall is better, anxiety is lower, and our bond is stronger. We have loved working with Lorrie. 100% worth it.
– Client
We have a well socialized perfectly behaved 6 month old golden retriever puppy. Thanks to Lorrie’s expert training techniques. Izzy loved going to school with Lorrie.
