Summary: Leighann is amazing, I've hired her for my adult dog and then later, a new puppy.
I have a 6 year old Labradoodle that struggles with reactivity due to many negative experiences with off leash dogs. I had been very hesitant to hire a trainer due to feeling like I was a bad dog parent for these experiences happening to my dog, even though I tried to avoid each situation. I reached out to Leighann, and during our consultation she was so understanding and compassionate about all the feelings I was having. I was so concerned about being judged, yet she was the complete opposite.
We did multiple sessions, and Leighann taught me so many great techniques and tricks to help with my dogs reactivity. She is so helpful between sessions and covers such a wide variety of topics. Leighann continued to surprise me with new ideas and solutions for the problems that I had. I appreciate how she encourages you to reach out with updates and questions throughout the week, thus maximizing the impact she has on our training and growth. I now feel so much more confident walking my dog now that I have the tools and knowledge to be successful.
We got another puppy a few months ago, and we hired Leighann to help with his training as well. She is such a godsend, and was able to help us with so many things (some of which I didn't realize she could help with), like getting our puppy used to positioning for grooming, relaxation protocols, recall, socialization trips and so much more. She definitely is worth every cent, and I would recommend her to everyone. read more
