Lazy Acres Dog Training, led by Rebecca Fedele, CTF Dog Trainer, offers a natural, relationship-based approach to dog training grounded in the Tenderfoot Natural Dog Training Philosophy. The method emphasizes love, trust, and respect over treats, devices, or fear, using natural pressure and release techniques to build clear communication and calm leadership between dogs and their owners. Rebecca customizes each session to accommodate the emotional and mental states of both the dog and the owner, focusing on everyday interactions like walking, playing, and petting to reinforce positive behavior. She works with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including small breeds like Chihuahuas and large breeds like Huskies, and adapts techniques to suit individual needs. In addition to in-person and virtual training sessions, she offers an online video series through Tenderfoot Training for those who prefer self-paced learning.

Rebecca provides first sessions that are 2 hours long, followed by one-hour follow-up sessions, and offers a discounted package of the first session plus two follow-ups. She also conducts in-home sessions to address training in the dog’s natural environment. Her clients report significant improvements in behavior, home harmony, and the human-dog bond, especially through boundary-setting and consistent communication.

While the business primarily focuses on dog training, Rebecca also offers related services including dog walking and pet sitting, as listed in the business profile.
