Penny’s Pets PdR

Training begins with individual in-home sessions tailored to the dog’s specific needs, covering basic obedience, behavior modification, and socialization. After initial progress, dogs may join small group walks and hikes for continued socialization and exercise. Training is ongoing, with owners taught how to reinforce skills at home. Petra provides follow-up support and adapts programs as dogs age or new challenges arise.

Penny’s Pets PDR is a dog training and behavior modification service led by Petra Liske, offering personalized, in-home training for dogs of all ages and breeds. Petra provides one-on-one sessions focused on obedience, puppy training, and behavior modification for issues like anxiety, reactivity, separation anxiety, excessive barking, and resource guarding. She also offers group walks and hikes for graduated clients to continue socialization and exercise. Petra’s approach is gentle, positive, and tailored to each dog’s personality, with an emphasis on teaching owners how to communicate effectively with their pets. In addition to training, she provides pet walking, socialization outings, and compassionate care for senior and rescue dogs, even taking them on outings when they can no longer keep up with regular exercise. Her services are available in multiple neighborhoods across the Westside of Los Angeles.

Petra has over 18 years of experience working with dogs and cats, holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Psychology from the Veterinary University of London, and is certified in Pet First Aid, CPR, and Pet Massage. She is licensed and bonded, and her clients consistently praise her patience, expertise, and deep emotional connection with both pets and owners.

She also offers guidance on introducing cats and dogs to each other and supports long-term relationships with families, often continuing to work with clients for over a decade as new pets join the household.
