We hired Les to help us with our 22lb mini poodle who had a rough year plus with a negligent breeder. We got our pup at 1.5 years old and he just turned 5. We were having trouble understanding his barking jags he was prone to. Les was incredibly kind and compassionate with us and our pup. She taught us different ways to distract him in a good way from his barking. And how to offer safety and comfort to him. It was such a wonderful way to offer comfort effectively and not rely on sheet discipline.

Cannot say enough great things about Les! We have an older lab, Lilly, who was extremely reactive on-leash, and walks were super stressful. I could pretty much only take her out early in the morning, when there were few to no other people around. After working with Les, I can comfortably and confidently walk Lilly pretty much any time of day. Les really works with you to develop the skills you need to help your dog figure out what is expected of them, and for you both to feel more comfortable and confident. I highly recommend Les, and I'm sure I will be keeping in touch if we ever need a refresher.

Les is incredible to work with. She truly tailors her approach and feedback and teachings to your dog. She quickly understands the situation, explains herself very clearly, and provides helpful tips easily put into practice with your pup. She's a rare mixture of extreme expertise w/ communication. Our dog Lilly is dog reactive and very strong. Working with Les she now walks really well patiently next to us on our strolls and pays attention to her owner on leash. We would definitely work with Les again for future dog training needs!
