Testimonials
“Best decision we ever made as pet parents! After rescuing our boy Logan when he was 1, we were not prepared for the German shepherd stubbornness within him. We hired Lorena to help us train him to be a good walking buddy for my husband and so that he would not learn the bad habits of his then 8 year old brother Joey. I thought for sure Joey was an old dog who couldn’t learn new tricks, but we decided all four of us would go through training together so both boys would know the same commands. It was absolutely life changing! Joey went from anxiously pulling me on walks and having major leash reactivity (that was stressful to me and terrifying to people we passed) to walking calmly by my side, even OFF LEASH, with ZERO reactivity to other dogs. I did not think that was possible!! Logan learned to stay with us off leash in parks or out front, both boys recall on command, wait before stepping through a door, go to place and stay until released… I mean, they sat on our front porch during a yard sale on their place cots and just watched and wagged their tails calmly without a single escape attempt… I could go on and on. It only gets better the more we practice what Lorena taught us with them. And, when we struggled, Lorena went the extra mile to work with us on the areas we needed extra help. I love our big mutt rescue boys, but they both came from some trauma that led to anxiety which was only compounded by one being a puppy and the other a grumpy old man. Thanks to the training with Lorena both are calm and relaxed as we go on rides, walks, road trips and visit parks – with both of them – because we are confident in the tools we learned from her. ”

“Lorena was the best thing that could have ever happened to us. When we first got our pup I knew I wanted to get her professional training. My amazing friend recommended Lorena. Our first meeting with her my pup Mercedes was insane! She was jumping, barking and growling. I thought for sure Lorena was gonna fire us right away. Lol Just after the first week I couldn’t believe the change in Mercedes. Lorena taught me so much about balanced training with my dog. I am so grateful and thankful for her. She changed our life and our pups life. It’s so enjoyable to go on walks, travel and have people over to our home. We could not have gotten to this amazing place with out her. What is even better is that when something arises that we need help with, she is there for us. We love Lorena and she has become family to us. ”

“I once had a wild child but now I have a tamed beast. He listens so well, and I can see how much he has matured. I no longer need to repeat myself 10,000 times or worry about when we walk if he’s going to act up. The Discipline, Love, and Wisdom has been a great impact on Bear. Bear is Top-Security Force for his Human Baby Brother. He’s such a great dog and I’m so happy he spent his two weeks with Mrs. Lorena. Mrs. Lorena’s professionalism, knowledge, and Integrity are genuinely demonstrated. The additional Blessing is we still can contact her for any issues. Thank you so much for your love for training, time, energy, and patience. We are so grateful that we have Mrs. Lorena, we do recommend her to all our Friends and Family.”
