Testimonials

“I have been looking for a scooper company for years and was so excited when they responded to my request saying they service our area! Our first scoop went off without a hitch. They were more thorough than I ever could have expected, kind, and professional. They sent me a text when they were on their way, and leaving, along with 2 pictures of my closed gate. I am so excited to have a yard my son can play in without getting messy shoes. Thank you for giving us our yard back with your weekly scoop service!”
– Client

“Let me start by saying that I am so glad that Cooper and I found Ms. Leigha! Cooper is my 110lb. sensitive boy… She immediately had him at ease and curious to explore her shop… I actually couldn’t believe that she was able to clip his nails. We didn’t have to hold him down or restrain him at all! She has such a calming nature and is truly gifted at what she does. We are customers for life!”
– Client

“We boarded our dogs there for the first time and got daily updates and report cards. They have been boarded elsewhere and this is the calmest they have been coming home. Her facility provides a relaxed environment and a routine for them to follow. Plus, they love her! We will be returning clients :).”
– Client

About the Trainer

Soul Train Animal Care LLC is a compassionate, relationship-based dog training and care business led by Leigha, focusing on communication and understanding to help dogs and their owners connect. They offer private 1:1 training called “Learn to Speak Dog,” designed to modify habits and behaviors using a calm, patient approach—especially effective for anxious, fearful, or sensitive dogs. In addition to training, they provide compassionate grooming services for dogs with nail-trimming trauma, pet boarding with daily updates and report cards, and a poop scooping service that includes debris removal and photo updates. Their methods prioritize building trust and avoiding force, making them ideal for dogs with behavioral challenges or past negative experiences.

Leigha’s approach is grounded in creating a relaxed, safe environment where dogs feel curious and at ease, as evidenced by clients’ testimonials about previously unmanageable dogs becoming calm and cooperative. They emphasize education, helping owners understand dog behavior and communication, and tailor their services to individual needs rather than using one-size-fits-all methods. Their facility is described as inviting for both pets and humans, and their services are designed to reduce stress for dogs and owners alike.

Accomplishments

Leigha has earned consistent 10/10 client reviews for transforming dogs with severe anxiety, nail-trimming trauma, and behavioral issues without sedation or restraint. Clients describe her as gifted, calm, and highly effective, with many becoming lifelong customers.
