Lilith
Danielle M.

I'm so grateful I found Sydney. First, she's a good human - I think we all strive to work with good people. Second - she knows what she is doing. She knows what she is doing! My two rescues have their own set of issues. Teddy has been the dog of the house for years and Lilith, my COVID rescue, is a LARGE change in pace for our lives. Teddy, my 15lb doggo who has been king of the house for 5.5 years. Lilith, a 120lb, 9mo Great Dane and a jealous puppy. There's a lot going on in their relationship and our relationship as a pack. Sydney came in and was able to assess our dynamics so quickly. Understanding the dog to dog dynamics and my individual relationship with each. She is so patient with both my pups and has done an amazing job of training them and then me. We meet with her every couple of weeks to address behavior issues and she addresses each issue head on. Giving most of her time to the dogs and then to us as a family. I've enjoyed working with Sydney so much I actually recommended her to my parents as they adopted a high-energy, herding breed in a similar way to my rescuing a Great Dane. We all fell in love with our pups without knowing wholly what we were getting into and Sydney has been a life saver!!!!

Thank you Sydney! Sydney has been working with my 2 yr old female Great Dane, Sophie, that I rescued in April 2021 for a couple of weeks and I can't say enough good things about Sydney's patience and skill with Sophie, who can be stubborn and opinionated. Sophie is definitely not an easy dog to train but Sydney has made marked improvements in Sophie's behavior on the leash and around other dogs in just a few weeks and I'm learning how to be a responsible owner.

Sydney is INCREDIBLE! She has been working with my Cane Corso puppy and not only does her puppy love her, but we love her too! She is patient, treats my fur baby with kindness, loves your doggo as if it were her own and is just an absolute pleasure to work with. She works with you and your dog both in and out of the home so you get to experience different settings with your dog. The only mistake you could possibly make when choosing a trainer is not choosing Sydney!

Sydney is such an amazing trainer. I knew within the 1st few minutes that my puppy was going to have some manners. This is my 1st puppy and I've been getting trained eight along with Piper. I appreciate Sydney's love for the dogs and how much they love her and respond to her. 5 stars isn't enough.

Best dog trainer ever she comes to your house and accommodate you with your prefer time & date. Idk how in such a short time she made my rebel husky be able to learn how to not jump on me or visitors, respect and listen to us. I'm able to have a barbecue without her jumping onto the tables or people I'm so proud of the hard work she has put into our dog and I'm sure you will be too. If for any reason I need more classes I will definitely reach out to her again. And Cynthia doesn't take advantage she was really honest from the beginning telling us our dog was smart and didn't need more then 3classes.

See all

It's not just about using positive reinforcement to modify behavior; it also enhances the bond between me and your dog.

When I get lucky...I get LUCKY! I found this amazing group…read moreof people off of Yelp, and the 5 Star rating is 100% deserved. I have two pups: Archie and Charlie. I want the best for my puppies, so I asked so many different people where and how they trained their dogs. I received a few suggestions, but decided to do my own search...and I'm glad I did. Leo (Owner) and his amazing team of trainers TRULY care about the pups they train. Leo came to my home and wanted to meet me and my pups before I had to decide on making any decisions. After sitting down with him for about half an hour, I knew I found what I was looking for: Someone who wants me to have healthy and happy dogs. I signed up for the in-home training at first which is Leo coming to the house and training me on how to train my puppies (Archie and Charlie just turned 6 months and started with Leo and his team when they were 4.5). Very quickly, I realized I could not handle training both these puppies the way they needed to be trained. I discussed with Leo and decided to do a Board & Train. I like the schedule because I get to take the puppies on the weekends to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong, you NEED to train your pups on the weekends, but it's worth it and FUN. Archie has become the Puppy King (no offense to other puppies or their owners )). Charlie has a lot more energy, but has improved immensely! Leo's trainers are so caring. I feel my dogs get love with their training when they're not with me, and I couldn't ask for more. I see their excitement whenever I visit about improvements and milestones that Archie and Charlie achieved. They gleam with as much pride as I do. I honestly don't know where my pups OR I would be without the help of this AMAZING Team! If I could give 10 stars out of 5 stars, I would!

She also worked on his place command, and now he stays calmly on his bed until released, which has made having guests over so much easier. One of the things that really stood out was how Jennifer took the time to get to know us as well as our dog. She found out we have a horse background and used that to our advantage--explaining training techniques in ways that made total sense to us. She gave examples that tied into the horse world, which made the process so much more intuitive and familiar. She also helped address Maverick's excitement around other dogs, which stems from his strong herding instincts. With Jennifer's guidance, he's now calm and focused on us. Jennifer is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about setting both the dog and owner up for long-term success. We're so thankful for the transformation she helped us achieve with Maverick!
