Testimonials
“We fell in love with our puppy from the first day we got him but he quickly turned into a little terror! It got to the point where our friends stopped coming over on the weekends and our families began using hotels during visits. We were at the breaking point in our relationship with each other and the puppy but did not have the heart to give him away. This training literally saved our marriage and friendships!”
– French Bulldog, Boca Raton, FL
“Our dog is on the older side and we have grown accustomed to dealing with and working around her problems. It was hard to take the plunge and sign her up for behavior modification because we were sure she was set in her ways. Lerner and Pooch changed everything and now she is a completely different dog, just so easy going and calm! I have since recommended it to all my friends and never looked back. I even got a touch up session a few months later and it was like running into an old friend of the family! It’s been almost a year now and still the best behaved dog of any we know.”
– Bichon Frisé, Fort Lauderdale, FL
“We tried a leading private training company and were instantly bombarded with rules and information that we tried our hardest to keep up with, but it was too much! We tried so the so-called guarantee and the trainer came to our home again and treated us like we are stupid and doing us a huge favor. After years of the dog running the show and terrorizing our lives and everyone around, we finally decided to check out Lerner and Pooch since some friends of ours had such success with them. Our only regret is that we waited so long and put up with so much before calling. We love you!”
– Miniature Dachshund, Deerfield Beach, FL
