 “I was searching online for a dog trainer and came across Lyndie’s ad, I loved what I read on her site and decided to give her a try, so I contacted her. She came out met with me and my blue pit-bull Roscoe who is 2 ½. She was wonderful, I really liked her techniques that she used, and she helped me learn how to train my dog. I just wanted to work on basic commands, such as stay, sit, lay, paw and wow Lyndie blew me away because she had Roscoe learning these tricks so quickly. Lyndie came several times to work with Roscoe and myself, and I think she is such a wonderful trainer. She is so positive and taught me so much. I really liked her approach especially since a lot of people fear the Pit Bull breed, she knew how friendly they are and how well they can learn as long as they are brought up right. I was so happy with everything Lyndie has done and how much she has helped me work with my baby on basic commands that I never thought he would learn. Thanks so much Lyndie! Your awesome and I also love how she is very concerned about each of her clients and keeps in touch!”

“Lyndie,

    Wanted to give you an update on how Cooper is doing now. We have had a great couple of weeks!! We have had kids in the yard with no aggression and yesterday we had a ton of family over in and out of the house. He could not care less that they were in the house, and it has been wonderful!!! Even my mother-in-law was here. We want to thank you for all the great help and ideas you gave us!!! I gave your name to three people this week.  One was our neighbor with the lab puppy, a friend whose dog tried to bite its owner, and also a friend of mine who has three dogs who are older but one of them won’t stop jumping on guests who come to the door.”

“We have a new baby in the house and our dog Cookie seemed to love him at first, but the more he started moving around the more Cookie seemed agitated with him.  We were nervous to have her around our baby, so Lyndie agreed to help.  We’d never trained Cookie to do anything in her 7 years; she’s extremely energetic and anxious, and before our son came along, she was spoiled rotten.  Within just a few minutes in our house Lyndie had Cookie obeying commands to sit and stay, which I was completely amazed by as she’d never listened to us.  She also gave us training exercises and games to play with Cookie to keep her mind busy and make her less anxious.  We are working with Cookie every day and are very pleased with the progress she’s made.  She’s listening to us for the first time in 7 years, and she’s getting a good workout every day for her brain and her body which helps her to stay calm.  Cookie is a member of our family, so we were devastated to think we’d have to take her out of our home, but we’re happy to be able to keep her and she’s much happier now too.”

 “Lyndie was such an incredible asset to the development of my handsome little dog, Nugget and I quickly had to relocate to the west coast for my job and needed to get Nugget trained for his new life. He is 9 months old and quickly made an appointment with Lyndie. She was nice enough to come to my house twice a week for several weeks to work with him. Her training method was astonishing as I watched her teach Nugget how to sit, wait, come, and lay down.

    I was so impressed with her kind nature and love for my dog. It was genuine. She also worked with Nugget outside with leash training and then off leash training. She was always very informative to which taught not just Nugget but me little tricks and secrets to raising a happy and healthy dog.”

“He has had no problems going down to the basement and is now able to do this on his own. Liam is doing very well – he is much better with other dogs and is a bit less mouthy than before. We are still working with him on understanding and responding to “No”. Right now, everything seems to be progressing well!

Thank you for helping us and Liam in this transition.”

    “We went to the park on Sunday this past week and had an amazing visit!  There were only 2 other dogs and all 3 dogs played with Leif’s frisbee. Leif let the other dogs carry it around and they all chased it together.  It only took a minute of waiting in the car before he was calm, and once we were in the park he didn’t bark for his frisbee, and made eye contact right away.  He sat and made eye contact every time. It was awesome! The walks have been fantastic!  The front clip harness is really nice, and Leif is responding really well to it!”

“Chester is doing really good. The good news is that he hasn’t peed in the house. He doesn’t even pee on the pee pad when I leave him now. He was home today for 6 hours, and he never peed. I’m so proud of him.”

“Lyndie,

      We want to thank you for your help with Tess.  It was evident from your website that you care so much for the welfare of all animals.   It was obvious when we met, and I saw you interact with Tess that the animals know it too!  Tess responded so well to you and learned so much that first day it made it easier for us to reinforce what you taught her.   People are so impressed that I can leave a treat on the floor, leave the room and it is still there when I come back, I try to be as positive and calm as you were, and it makes such a difference.  Tess has confidence now in us and training is going really well.  Since we have never had a Bully breed nor a rescue your explanation of different breed play habits and the phases a shelter dog goes through once it finds a home were very helpful. You have helped us help Tess be a good girl who makes us all very happy!  We will of course continue the 10 minutes a day to reinforce the training, so it becomes habit. Thank you again.”

     “We could not be more pleased with our results from Lyndie’s training! We were so thrilled when she was able to take us on as a client as we had been with many trainers, and it seemed nothing was working. She was very kind, patient, and gentle with our two rambunctious little guys.  It was great that she was able to travel to our home to see the bad behavior in person and then determine what the best plan of action was from there.  We have several issues from aggression, excitability, jumping, barking, and nervousness.

However, with the plan that Lyndie provided for us we were able to work with our dogs in the best way to figure out solutions in why they have these behaviors and what we needed to do to prevent them.  We have noticed our dogs to be much more obedient, confident and calm with the methods that we used.  Benny and Brody simply love Lyndie and we would highly recommend her for anyone having any trouble with their pet!  

Thank you for everything Lyndie!”

“Thank you for helping us learn that we should be looking at Star’s eyes, not avoiding them as we’d been told in dog books. It really makes a difference making that connection with her.  We know we’re communicating when we see “eye to eye.”  We still have a long way to go with understanding how to walk with her on the leash because she’d rather play with it.  She’s getting lots of exercise chasing golf balls and even retrieves them occasionally. We’ll keep you posted on her progress.”

“Onyx is showing huge signs of improvement. Yesterday she wanted to play with Eric and did a play bow a few times. It was very nice to see her being playful and acting more like the dog I get to see when he isn’t home. She is doing so well with my brother and my dad this weekend. Everything you told us to do is really working and helping her. I appreciate it very much!

Thanks again!”
